Why we collect your personal data and how we justify it in law
Wells Harbour Commissioners will need to collect personal data for many reasons and this will vary depending on the person, sometimes referred to as the data subject. In all instances, we will process your personal data using one of the six lawful conditions as follows:
- Using your consent, given prior to any processing;
- To comply with our legal obligations;
- To fulfil our contractual obligations;
- When acting in your vital interests;
- When processing is necessary for tasks in the public interest; or
- For the purposes of our legitimate interests, where we asses that this action does not over-ride your rights and freedoms as they affect the use of your personal data.
The reason we collect your personal data and against which lawful condition, will be set out in the privacy notice that is prepared to suit your circumstances. In all cases we will strive to respect our legal obligations such that our processing of personal data shall be:
- Processed fairly, lawfully and transparently;
- Collected for a specified, explicit and legitimate purposes;

The use of cookies on the Wells Harbour Commissioners website
This website does not use cookies with members of the public who visit the website. No analytical data of users’ web browsers are accessed by WHC. Routine access, security and error logs are generated by the third-party web service providers to maintain acceptable service levels and to identify possible security infringements.

Where the personal data is processed and stored
All personal data that we collect or generate, whether in hard copy form or held on an Office IT system, is processed and stored at Wells Harbour Commissioners.
Change of purpose of processing
From the outset, we state the purpose for which we collect your personal data. If this purpose is changed, we will contact you with the relevant information and take further appropriate action if required. If the basis of processing has relied on your consent, we will not act upon any change of purpose until we have re-established your consent against the new purpose. If you choose not to respond we take it that you have not given your consent.
How long we keep your personal data for after your involvement in Wells Harbour Commissioners has ended
Regardless of your relationship with Wells Harbour Commissioners, once it is clear that you are no longer involved with us and we have no lawful reason to process your personal data, we will either delete or destroy it in accordance with the schedule set out in your Privacy Notice.
Please note that Wells Harbour Commissioners will have a legitimate interest to retain some information such as your name, your vessel (if appropriate) and period of involvement, but only for the purposes of maintaining statistics. These details will not be shared with a third party unless we are legally obliged to do so.
Information about your rights
The GDPR puts much greater emphasis on transparency of processing and accountability by all parties involved in handling your personal data. It also extends the rights of individuals in respect of their personal data. It should be noted that these are qualified in so much that they do not necessarily apply in all situations. For ease of visibility, the rights are listed directly below
- Right to be informed;
- Right to access;
- Right to rectification;
- Right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’);
- Right to restrict processing;
- Right to data portability;
- Right to object to processing; and
- Rights related to automated decision making and profiling.
