We are collecting your personal data to process your application for a licence to place tables, chairs and other furniture on the highway.
Your personal data is required as we may need to discuss the details of your application with you and will need to inform you about the outcome of your application. We must also hold a record of who has permission to place items on the highway to ensure effective enforcement of the licence conditions.

Who we share your data with
In accordance with the Business and Planning Act 2020 section 2(3) we must publish and publicise your application and supporting information for a 5-day consultation period, so that people can make representations to the council about your application.

How we protect your data and keep it secure
Examples of the security measures we use are:
training for our staff, making them aware of how to handle information securely, and how and when to report when something goes wrong
encryption when data is being sent, meaning we scramble information so other people can’t read it without access to an unlock key
pseudonymising your data, where possible - this means we will remove your identity so the people working with your data will not know your identity
Controlling access to systems and networks allows us to stop people who are not allowed to view your personal information, from getting access to it.
Regular testing of our technology and ways of working, including keeping up to date on the latest security updates (called patches).
Transferring your data outside the United Kingdom
Your data is not processed outside of the United Kingdom.
We aim to resolve all complaints about how we handle personal information. You also have the right to make a complaint about data protection to the Information Commissioner's Office.
