Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important

Lars B Andersen is the Data Controller for your personal information and is committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and Data Protection Act. If you have any concerns or questions about how your personal information is looked after, please contact contact@larsandersen.city

Your personal information

Personal information is anything that directly or indirectly identifies and relates to a living person, such as a name, address, personal email address, telephone number, date of birth, photographs, video recordings (including CCTV) etc.

Some personal information is ‘special category data’ and needs more protection due to its sensitivity. This includes any information about an identifiable individual that can reveal their sexuality and sexual health, religious or philosophical beliefs, racial origin, ethnicity, physical or mental health, trade union membership, political opinion, genetic/biometric data. Personal information relating to criminal offences and convictions, although not ‘special category data’, is still sensitive in nature and merits higher protection.

Purpose

The personal information that you provide will only be used to communicate with you for the purposes of the election of Sheriff for the year 2027/28 and subsequent events only up until the end of September 2028.

How the law allows us to use your personal information

There are a number of legal reasons why we will need to collect and use your personal information in different circumstances. Generally, we collect and use personal information where:

• you, or your legal representative, have given consent,
• the processing is necessary for pursuing the legitimate interests of the Data Controller or a third party, except where the data subject’s interests or fundamental rights and freedoms override the Data Controller’s interests.

Your rights regarding your personal information

• transfer your personal information to another provider in a commonly used format;
• not use automated decision-making processes to make decisions about you.

If you have any questions or concerns about how your personal information will be processed or if you wish to exercise any of the rights above, please contact contact@larsandersen.city
