Unless otherwise agreed with you, we will only collect the minimum personal data required to deliver the service, which includes your name and address. It does not include any special category personal information, or information relating to criminal convictions or offences. Failure to provide the information could result in us being unable to deliver your requested waste container.

The information will be used to deliver our waste service, a task we carry out in the public interest under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, in accordance with Article 6(1)(e) of GDPR.

The information provided will be shared with North Somerset Environment Company Ltd (NSEC), in order for them to deliver the container(s). We will not use your personal information in a way that may cause you unwarranted nuisance, and your data is never shared or processed outside of the UK.
