Your data

Under the Data Protection Act 2018, we (Oxfordshire County Council) have a legal duty to protect any personal information we collect from you. Oxfordshire County Council is committed to open government and this may include quoting extracts from your consultation response in our report.

We would also like to share the full consultation responses with all councillors. We will not however, disclose the names of people who have responded unless they have provided consent. For this purpose, we ask that you are careful not to disclose personal information in your comments – for example the names of service users or children.

View Oxfordshire County Council’s privacy notice online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk - search for ‘privacy notice’.

Please use the space below to tell us if you do not want all or part of your response to be made public (ie published word for word in our report) or shared with councillors. Please specifically state which parts you wish us to keep confidential. (Provide text box)
