Privacy Notice for Petersfield Greenspace People Survey

Purpose of this Survey

We are conducting this survey to gather opinions and demographic insights that will help inform greenspace planning in the town.  Your responses will contribute to evidence-based decision-making and inclusive project design.

What Data We Collect

We ask participants to voluntarily provide:

  • Age (within a range)
  • Sex/gender identity
  • Postcode, beyond GU31 or GU32 if possible
  • Other demographic details relevant to the project – e.g. ethnicity, whether you consider yourself to have a disability.

We do not collect names, full addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses unless you offer them. We do not track IP addresses.

The legal basis for processing your personal data

We process your data under the lawful basis of:

  • Consent: You choose to participate and provide information voluntarily.
  • Legitimate Interests: The survey serves a public interest and does not infringe on your rights.

Unless you have provided your email address, it is impossible to withdraw your responses from the analysis because it will not be possible to identify your specific information in the survey dataset.  

How your data is used

Your responses will be:

  • Analysed to identify trends and inform project decisions
  • Shared in summary form with stakeholders (e.g. local councils, community groups)
  • Stored securely and never used for marketing or profiling.

Data security and storage

We use secure, encrypted systems to store and analyse data. Access is restricted to authorised personnel only. Data will be retained for 12 months after collection and then securely deleted.
