Data Protection Act 1998

If you want to know what information the Council has about you then you have rights under the Data Protection Act 1998: www.hmso.gov.uk (DPA).

How do I make a request?

You can write to our Data Protection Officer (at County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP) setting out what you want. Or if you have been dealing with a particular officer or department, you can write to them. It would help us to process you request if you mention the DPA in your letter or email.

Cost

We may charge you a fee for providing the information. We will tell you first so that you can choose whether to proceed or not.

More details

We may ask for further details to help us find the information you want. In certain circumstances we may edit the information we send to you.
