COVID-19 Advice and Guidance
Due to Covid 19, there are changes to the way our data protection team are working at the moment. The council is focusing its resources to offer key services, to support residents and businesses during the pandemic. Because of this, the time taken to respond to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request, Subject Access Request (SAR) or complaint may be longer.
For Freedom of Information Requests and Subject Access Requests we will respond within 40 working days. For a complaint the time limit is 30 working days.
We will keep this under review.
If we are unable to give you the information you have asked for, we will explain why.
Right to be Informed
You have the right to know how and why we collect your data, and how it is being used. This is called the right to be informed. The law says we must be open and honest about how and why we collect, use and store your data. Rutland County Council has documents which explain this in more detail for each of our services. These documents are called Privacy Notices.
