What your information will be used for and the lawful basis for requesting and using it
Your personal data is being collected as an essential part of the UK Community Renewal Fund bidding process, so that the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and Dorset Council can contact you regarding your bid and for monitoring purposes. We may also use it to contact you about matters specific to the Fund.
Our lawful basis for using your information is Section 111 of the Local Government Act 1972 which creates a legal power for Dorset Council to do anything reasonable to enable it to discharge its statutory functions as a Local Authority.
The Council considers that the processing of your personal data as part of the UK Community Renewal Fund process is necessary for the Council to deliver this public function. For this reason, the processing of your personal data is lawful on the grounds that article 6(1)(e) of the UK General Data Protection Regulation applies (processing that is necessary for the performance of a public task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller).
Will some or all your information be stored in, processed or accessible from countries outside the UK, EU or EEA countries?
