Temporary Traffic Regulation Applications privacy notice

Read our privacy notice for information on how we collect, store and process your data.

We are committed to protecting your personal information.

The council is the data controller for purposes of the Data Protection Act (2018), and The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR"), and is also registered as a data controller with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

As a data controller, we have a responsibility to make sure you know why and how your personal information is being collected. This is according to relevant data protection law.

The primary laws which govern how Brighton & Hove City Council collects and use personal information (known as data) about you are:

Why we collect your data

We are collecting your data for the purpose of assessing an application for a temporary traffic regulation order or notice.

Our legal basis for collecting your data

Our legal basis for collecting your data is Article 6 (1) (e) in the official authority vested in the controller under Section 14 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

What data we collect from you

  • Name
  • Address

Who we share your data with

The following organisations will be notified of your intended closure:

  • East Sussex Fire and Rescue
  • South East Coast Ambulance Service
  • Brighton & Hove Buses
  • Big Lemon Buses

If any of these organisations have concerns or questions your information may be passed to them to allow them to be resolved.

How long we will keep your data

We will keep your data for 7 years.

How we store your data

We will store your information on electronic databases, document management systems and on paper records.

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
  • we use encryption when data is being sent, meaning we scramble information so other people can’t read it without access to an unlock key
  • where possible, we will pseudonymise your data. 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.
