Giving Consent to EDLCT will only be undertaken where the individuals have:

• A genuine choice and level of control over how your data is used
• The right to ONLY opt-in to give consent with no pre-ticked or implied consent options
• Individuals are made fully aware of what they are consenting to
• The right to withdraw consent at any time by speaking to a member of staff or emailing customerservices@eastdunbarton.gov.uk
• The right to know the purpose of collecting and processing your data.

There is the need for EDLCT to collect and process personal data without consent in the fulfilment of its duties and obligations to you, where appropriate. (For example: Personal and banking information will be required to process direct debit payments for membership fee collections).

EDLCT currently partners Clydesdale Bank plc to enable the collection of these payments and, as a business necessity, have access to customer’s personal information.

EDLCT will hold a copy of your consenting action in relation to who consented, when and how you were told. This information will be kept by EDLCT as long as is deemed appropriate.

Special categories of data, defined by the GDPR as data which may be ‘particularly sensitive in relation to fundamental rights and freedoms’ and deserve specific protection, will only be requested for specific and documented reasons. Any special categories of Data requested will only follow an affirmative and explicit action by the customer to give consent for this data to be collected.

All third parties who partner EDLCT will be verified as offering a good standard of data security for EDLCT customer information, meeting the necessary requirements for GDPR before any partnership agreement is undertaken.
