We collect and handle personal data so that we can deliver services to residents in Clapton Park Management Organisation.

This privacy notice applies to any personal data collected by us or on our behalf, by any format – phone, letter, email, online, or face to face.

We collect and handle data to:

• Provide the service you’ve asked for – e.g. if you apply for a service we will use your
  data to process this application
• Confirm your identity and eligibility when you apply for services
• Stay in contact with you e.g. if you sign up to one of our newsletters to get
  information about services
• Fulfil legal obligations
• Provide information to government, including Hackney Council, when the law says
  we need to
• Assess our performance, ensure value for money, and to set targets for departments
• To detect and prevent fraud and crime

What legally allows us to collect and handle information about you?

There are 6 options available to us to legally ‘process’ your personal data. For each service we make it clear to you what option(s) we have chosen in our lower level privacy notices.

The most common for us will be ‘legal obligation’ or ‘public task’ because our focus is delivering services to you that are required, or permitted, by other existing laws.

Other options that we make use of are ‘contract’ – for example we have employment contracts for our staff; and in emergencies we may use ‘vital interests’ where it is a matter of life and death to use or share data.

We avoid, but may sometimes need to use ‘legitimate interest’ and will always explain what this legitimate interest is in the relevant lower level privacy notice.

We avoid asking for your consent where possible because we know that most of the services we provide aren’t available from elsewhere, so the consent can’t be freely-given.
For services that are more optional we may use this method.

If you give us your consent to process your data, you have a right to withdraw your consent
whenever you want to.
