Your rights
Under the law, you have the right:
- to know why, where, and how we use your information
- to ask to see your information
- to ask for your information to be corrected if it is wrong or incomplete
- to ask for your information to be deleted if we don’t need it anymore
- to ask us to pause using your information
- to ask us to safely move your information from one computer system to another
- to object to how we use your information
- to question any decisions made by computers without human involvement
You can ask to see your information using your rights under the law. This is called a Subject Access Request. If you are a child or young person, we will check if you understand your rights. If we think you do, we will answer you directly. We might allow a parent or guardian to use a child’s rights for them if the child agrees or if it’s best for the child.
Please see data subject rights for more details.
Using AI does not reduce or change your rights. For information processed as part of Children’s Services records, rights should be exercised through the Council as data controller. Where AI suppliers process information on the Council’s behalf, they support the Council in responding to requests but do not decide how rights requests are handled.
