Data Protection

Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service is committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy. We recognise that keeping your information accurate, secure and properly handled is essential to maintaining public trust.

 

The UK General Data Protection Regulation and the Data Protection Act 2018 set out how organisations must collect, use, store, share and dispose of personal information. They also give individuals a number of rights in relation to their own personal data, including the right to request access to information held about them.

 

When we collect your personal data, we will normally explain what it will be used for, who it may be shared with, and whether you have any choices about how it is used. We will only use the information we hold about you for lawful purposes and only collect the minimum personal data necessary to fulfill those purposes.

 

If you want to understand more about how Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service uses your personal information, please view our Privacy Notice.

 

If you would like to request access to your personal information you can make a subject access request, please use our contact form. We may need to ask for proof of identity before releasing personal data, and where records include information about other people, some information may need to be withheld or redacted where the law requires this.
