This privacy notice explains what you can expect when the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) collects and processes your personal information.

The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is a public authority, established in legislation through the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. For the purposes of this notice, the term PCC is used to encompass the person elected as the Police and Crime Commissioner and any staff authorised to work for or on their behalf or under their direction and control (the OPCC).

The OPCC obtains, holds, uses, and discloses personal information for two broad purposes:
·       The remit and power of the PCC, which includes rendering assistance to the public in accordance with OPCC policies and procedures; and any duty or responsibility of the PCC arising from common or statute law.
·       The provision of services to support the remit of the PCC. We operate in compliance with the United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Data Protection Act 2018 (UK).
