Elland Rail Station and Access Package Survey

For the purposes of the Data Protection Act 2018, the ‘controller’ of the personal data which you provide in the survey is the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (“The Combined Authority”, “we”, “us”) of Wellington House, 40-50 Wellington St, Leeds LS1 2DE (tel: 0113 251 7272) who are the responsible statutory body for the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (“LEP”) and WY Metro. The Combined Authority is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office with registration number ZA051694.

The Combined Authority is collecting this data and will process it for the purpose of evaluating the Elland Station and Access Package projects. We want to collect data about your journey experiences so we can use the information to improve our transport hubs and services.

We will share the overall survey results with Calderdale Council; however, this will not contain any identifiable information.

We will not share your information with any other organisation or third party. There may be other circumstances in which we may share or use certain information about you, which are:

1. if we have a legal obligation to do so or if we are required or requested to do so by a competent authority such as the police or a court;
2. if we need to use or disclose your information to obtain legal advice or in connection with legal proceedings;
3. if we need to share your information to protect your vital interests if you are unable to give us consent or it is unreasonable for us to ask for your consent in the circumstances (e.g. if you are injured).

We will retain your information for up to 6 months from the completion of the evaluation baselining activity. This is in accordance with our information retention policy and on the expiration of such period we will safely delete it. The survey platform will capture your computer’s IP address when you complete an online survey, however, we will not use this data further.

Information provided to the Combined Authority will be processed lawfully under:

• Article 6(1)(e) of UK GDPR which states that processing is necessary for the purposes of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority of the controller

‘Special category’ data (data pertaining to an individual’s ethnicity or health) will be processed under:

• Article 9(2)(g) of UK GDPR which states that processing is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, which in this case is the equality of opportunity or treatment

As a data subject you have a number of rights under the DPA. These include the right to access the information which we hold about you. In some cases, you may have a right to have your personal data rectified, erased or restricted, and to object to certain use of your data.

If you are unsatisfied with the manner in which we collect or handle your personal data, you have a right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Information about how to make complaints can be found on the ICO’s website at https://ico.org.uk
