The reasons why we use your personal data
Why are we collecting your personal information?
As part of the Framework for co-ordinating and approving events on Surrey's Highways (PDF), the Events Team collects personal data of event organisers for the following reasons:
- To ensure communication and coordination between partners and event organisers, which will help to minimise any impact attributed to events
- To ensure the process for approval of road closures under Section 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 is consultative and transparent
What do we collect and how do we use your personal information?
We may collect event organiser information such as:
- Name, role and organisation
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
We may share event information including event organiser contact details, plans and other event documents with local authority partners and emergency services in order to:
- facilitate event communications and to minimise wider impact to communities
- respond to enquiries or complaints
- co-ordinate and facilitate Safety Advisory Groups, which advise on the safety of local events and agree any licences needed for events.
Non-personal event information and web links are published on our events calendar webpage for wider awareness of residents and key stakeholders, including other event organisers in order to avoid route clashes. This event information is also shared through monthly database updates sent to key stakeholders including emergency services. Personal data of event organisers is protected and is not shared through the events calendar webpage or database.
