Your information will be used to create a personal case study for the Get Doncaster Moving campaign. The campaign aims to increase physical activity levels of people across the borough.

The information will be shared on our website, social media and other channels. We will also take photographs and video footage.

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.

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.

How long will we keep your information?

Your information will only be used for the purposes stated (the case studies) for 3 years. However, for administrative purposes, we will keep your information for 5 years after which we will securely delete the information.
