6. Transfers to Third Countries
In very rare circumstances, it may sometimes be necessary to transfer personal information overseas. Any transfers made will be in full compliance with all aspects of the data protection legislation, for example, only with your consent if appropriate and with additional security measures in place to protect your information.
The majority of personal information is stored on systems located on the Council's own servers in the Council's own secure premises, although there are some systems used by the Council that are operated by an external party on their external servers. There are also requirements to provide the data to other organisations, which may be outside the UK.
We will take all practical steps to make sure your personal information is not sent to a country that is not seen as "safe" either by the UK or EU Governments.
