Commission on Justice in Wales Your Views: privacy notice

The Commission on Justice in Wales has been set up to review the operation of the justice system in Wales and set a long term vision for its future. To help us achieve these aims we are inviting ideas from the public about how criminal justice, civil justice and access to legal advice could be improved. You can contribute to this by completing this data collection exercise.

Personal data is defined under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as ‘any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified by reference to an identifier’. This data collection exercise does not explicitly ask for personally identifiable data, however participants may choose to provide personal data through the open ended question.

The lawful basis of processing information in this data collection exercise is our public task, that is,  exercising our official authority to undertake the core role and functions of the Welsh Government. Individual participation is voluntary.

Data for this exercise is collected via an online survey platform where data can only be downloaded by a limited number of Welsh Government officials. Any personally identifiable data will be removed by Knowledge and Analytical Services in Welsh Government before aggregate data is passed on to the Commission on Justice in Wales. At the end of this data collection exercise (end of February 2019), all individual responses will be deleted and only group data will be held.

Under GDPR, you have the following rights in relation to the personal information you provide as part of this evaluation:

• The right of access (request a copy of your own data)
• The right of rectification (correcting incorrect information)
• The right to object to or restrict processing of data
• The right to erasure
• The right to lodge a complaint with the information commissioner’s office.

The Welsh Government is committed to handling your personal data safely, securely and only for as long as we need.

If you have any concerns about how we use your personal data, we encourage you to raise them with the relevant team in the first instance.
