Privacy Policy

Who we are

This website is operated on behalf of Cllr Blossom Young, Your local councillor for Beckton, Newham Council.

What information we collect

When you use the contact, casework enquiry, or newsletter sign-up forms on this site, we collect the information you provide — typically your name, email address, and the content of your message, and for casework enquiries, your postal address and the type of issue you're raising. Form submissions are processed via Formspree, a third-party form service — see their privacy policy at formspree.io for details of how they handle data in transit.

How we use it

We use the information you submit only to respond to your enquiry, follow up on casework on your behalf with Newham Council or other relevant bodies, and — if you sign up for the newsletter — to send occasional updates, which you can unsubscribe from at any time.

How long we keep it

Casework correspondence is retained for as long as necessary to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period afterwards for reference, in line with standard councillor casework retention practice. [TODO: confirm exact retention period.]

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have inaccurate data corrected, and to ask for it to be deleted, subject to any legal obligation to retain it. To exercise these rights, contact us atBlossom.Young@newham.gov.uk.
