Climate and nature survey privacy notice

The purpose of processing

The council is surveying residents for their views on Climate and Nature in Bath and North East Somerset. The feedback provided in this survey will help shape the council’s Climate & Nature Strategy.

We collect demographic data to understand broader trends and patterns, which will not be used to identify you personally.

As an incentive for participation in the survey we are offering a prize of a £50 voucher for one participant. To get in contact with the winner of the prize draw we will be collecting contact information which falls into the category of personal data. This is not mandatory so you can still complete the survey without giving your contact information. Your survey responses will be processed independently from your contact information.
