What is the legal basis for processing your information?

Parking scheme administration, permits, pay and display, Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) management and recovery of debt and charges associated with PCNs

The processing of personal information is required to effectively manage our parking schemes. The Council has a statutory duty to manage parking on our civil parking enforcement areas. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under the Traffic Management Act 2004 and Transport Act 2000.

East Sussex is exercising official authority (for example, a public body’s tasks, functions, duties or powers) which is laid down by law.

Consultations

The processing of your data is carried out on the basis of legitimate interest in the task. Our consultations provide residents, businesses and other stakeholders the opportunity to comment on proposals which may impact them in the future. The processing of data is necessary to achieve accurate and informed results. The minimum amount of data is collected and used only for this purpose.

Access protection markings and disabled bays

We process your information because it is necessary for the performance of a task which is carried out in the public interest or as part of the Council’s official functions. In this case, responding to your request for a disabled bay or access protection markings.

Requests for new parking controls

Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the exercise of the Council’s official authority. In many cases, consent to process data will be requested. Recording the personal information detailed earlier ensures the smooth running of a service requested by the customer. Information is only used in ways that the customer would reasonably expect.
