As Swindon Borough Council offers a range of diverse services, it has a number of separate sections (called service areas) who have responsibility for different services. The Council also works with other government and voluntary organisations, or uses private organisations, to provide services to you. This means that sometimes we may need to disclose your personal information internally within the Council, or externally to other organisations.

When we notify (register) our data to the Commissioners Office, we must state whom we may wish to disclose your personal data to. Register entries do no hold any personal information, they only show what an individual or organisation is registered to do. The data register is open to public inspection at the Commissioner's office Wilmslow and on the Information Commissioner website (see below).

See: Swindon Borough Council's entry in the register for details of what processing of personal data the Council has notified (registered) to the Commissioner's office. If you require a copy of this, then please contact the Data Protection Officer.

Copies of all individual register entries are free of charge and can be applied for by contacting:

In respect of disclosure of your personal information we will:

• Try to make it as clear as possible to you who we may wish to disclose your personal information to when we obtain it from you
• Only disclose your personal information in order to meet the purposes that we obtain it for
• Only disclose your personal information to those people or organisations that have been approved within our notification entries
• Ensure the confidentiality and security of your personal information when we contract private organisations to provide services to you
