Section 10 and Part 1, Schedule 1, (1) Employment, social security, and social protection	Article 56 of the asylum, migration and integration fund (AMIF) regulations (EU) 514/2014 require the UK Responsible Authority (UKRA), as the managing authority for the programme, to monitor and evaluate AMIF-funded activities.

The law means that you have to give us the information we have asked for on this form. If you don’t give us this information then we will be unable to provide you with the support offered as part of this project.

We sometimes need to share your information within the council or with other organisations. We will only share your information when necessary and when the law allows us to, and we will only share the minimum information we need to. For those who became a client before the 31^st of December 2023, for funding matters we need to share your information with:

• Migration Yorkshire, Leeds City Council
• We have to send some of your personal data to the United Kingdom Responsible Authority [UKRA] and to UKRA’s independent evaluator to help them to monitor, audit and evaluate how AMIF funding is being spent. The UKRA manages AMIF funding in the UK. UKRA will not share your personal data with any part of the Home Office

In certain cases we may also share your information with other individuals and organisations. For example, if you make a complaint to your Councillor, or if the sharing would help with a safeguarding issue, or help prevent a crime. Sometimes, we might share your information without your knowledge.

The Council will never sell your information to anyone else.

For those clients who became a client before the 31^st of December 2023, the information will be held by Migration Yorkshire, Leeds City Council for a further 8 years for audit purposes. For those supported after the 31^st of December 2023, we only keep your information for as long as we need to, after which we will securely delete the information.

The law gives you specific rights over your information. These rights are:

• to be informed of our use of information about you;
• of access to information about you;
• rectify information about you that is inaccurate;
• to have your information erased (the ‘right to be forgotten’);
• to restrict how we use information about you;
• to move your information to a new service provider;
• to object to how we use information about you;
• not to have decisions made about you on the basis of automated decision making;
• to object to direct marketing; and,
• to complain about anything the Council does with your information (please see the ‘Complaints’ section below).

Some of the rights listed above apply only in certain situations, and some have a limited effect. Your rights are explained further in the Individuals’ Rights Procedure on our website, as is how to make a request under one or more of them.

You can request information about yourself by making a subject access request on this page of the Council’s website.

This notice is kept under regular review to make sure it is up to date and accurate.

• monitoring the Council’s compliance with data protection law;
• providing expert advice and guidance on data protection;
• acting as the point of contact for data subjects; and,
• co-operating and consulting with the Information Commissioner’s Office (see ‘Complaints’ below).
