General Forms Privacy Notice

Privacy Notice

Dundee Carers Centre records basic information about the people we support.

For Dundee Carers Centre to process your referral, we need all of the information in the following form.

The lawful basis for us to process this is a legitimate interest.

This means that we need to process your data so we can:

  • Understand the referred person’s situation and support needs
  • Make a decision about whether we can provide support or not
  • If we can provide support, contact you to discuss support
  • If we cannot provide support, direct to other potential sources of support
  • Report to funders or decision-makers

Where does this information go and what happens next?

When we receive the referral, we will use the data in the form to create a record in our password protected database.   This will be held for three years from the date that your referral is closed.  If you receive support from staff in the SDS Angus team, this is held for five years from the date that your referral is closed.  For reporting purposes, data from referrals is depersonalised and presented as statistical information.

Under data protection legislation, you have the following rights:

Access – if you wish to have a copy of the data we hold about you, contact us
Rectification – if the data we hold is incorrect, contact us
Object – if you do not want your data processed in line with the above, contact us and we will decide what to do next.  This right is linked to the rights of restriction and erasure
Restriction – if you want us to pause processing your data, contact us
Erasure – if you want us to delete your data, contact us

The right to Data Portability does not apply as we use the legitimate interest lawful basis.
