Purpose
Your personal details and health information are collected via this platform so that the Council can engage with you for its surveys and obtain your feedback.  Council analyses the responses for the purpose of  the project the Survey relates to. Council uses the service of Alchemer to collect, aggregate and analyse the data that you are providing in this survey. The information is being collected for data integrity purposes to minimise the risk of multiple submissions. All responses will be deidentified prior to sharing.

We use this information to:

• events and other initiatives; and
• respond to enquiries and otherwise engage with stakeholders.

When you engage with the Council on a survey hosted through Alchemer, the information we collect on this platform:

• Includes your postcode, which is not personal information. However, if you choose to provide any other personal information about yourself, then this is provided voluntarily to the Council and with your consent.

Sharing

• At times, the project may involve responses being publicly available, so if you make any comments, please do not include any personal information that you would not like to be accessible for public viewing. Please do not identify specific people by name for the sake of their privacy.
• The Council may provide personal information to its agents, such as its accountants or lawyers.
• At times, the Council may be legally required to disclose personal information, for instance to the police.
