What is Notification?

Notification is the process by which the Council informs the Information Commissioner of how we process the personal data we hold.

The purpose of notification is to ensure the transparency and openness of the Council’s information handling practices by keeping people informed about how their personal data is handled.

Can I see the Council’s Notification?

The Council’s notification is kept on the Information Commissioner’s Public Register at which can be viewed by entering the ’London Borough of Waltham Forest’ into the data controller field.

Councillors also have individual notifications in relation to the work they carry out as data controllers.  These notifications can also be viewed on the Public Register by entering the name of the Councillor into the data controller field.
