There’s something I don’t understand

If you need help in understanding this notice or have any queries about the purpose, please contact the Community Governance Review Team by emailing CGRs@cornwall.gov.uk 

How we will use the information about you 

The information you provide will be used in connection with the Community Governance Review and to contact you to either request further information or to provide updates from the Community Governance Review. 

Who else will we share your information with? 

We will not use your information for any other purpose or give it to anyone else unless we are required to do so by law or if a safeguarding concern is raised. For example, we have a duty to protect public funds so we may need to use the information held about you for the prevention and detection of fraud which would require us to share it with other Council statutory services or organisations responsible for auditing or administering public funds.

How long will you keep this information for? 

We will keep your information for as long as it is required for the duration of the Community Governance Review. Once your information is no longer required, it will be destroyed securely and confidentially.
