Use of data
Kolossi Communal Council generally collects only the personal information necessary for the purposes for which it was provided to us, as stated at the point of collection.

General Data Protection Regulation allows us to process personal information, so long as we have a legal ground under the law to do so. It also requires us to inform you what those grounds are.  As a result, when we process your personal information, we will rely on one of the following processing conditions: 

•    Legal obligation: this is when we are required to process your personal information in order to comply with a legal obligation, such as keeping records for tax purposes or providing information to a public body or law enforcement agency;

•    Legitimate Interests: we may process information about you when it is in our legitimate interest to do so.  In these cases, we consider and evaluate whether any of the related processing may result in outweighing your own interests, in which case we shall not perform that processing; or
•    Your explicit consent: we may occasionally ask you for specific permission to process some of your personal information, and we will only process such information in this way if you freely and unambiguously agree to us doing so.  You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting Kolossi Communal Council at kolossi1@cytanet.comcy
