The UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) place various duties and responsibilities on us, Scarborough Borough Council, when processing personal information. The UK GDPR and the DPA also create legal rights for individuals in respect of personal information held and processed by us.

Our overarching approach to ensuring compliance with the UK GDPR and the DPA, and other corresponding legislation can be found in our Data Protection Policy.
