Location and Retention of Personal Information

Location Of Personal Information

Personal information will only be stored and processed on servers based within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Retention of Personal Information

We will only keep your personal information for as long as is necessary and only when we have determined an appropriate lawful basis to do so.

Torridge District Council has a Record Retention Schedule which outlines the minimum length of time that the Council is required to retain information. The schedule covers all business records including both personal and non-personal information. The retention periods are in many cases set by legislation but can also be based on common or best practice. Records are reviewed at the end of these periods and information that is no longer needed is securely and confidentially destroyed.

Our Record Retention Schedule is currently being reviewed and updated and will be published on the website once this is complete.
