Purpose and legal basis for processing
Flying Start is a Welsh Government funded project.
Our purpose is to provide a service to parents and children under 4 years of age in disadvantaged areas in Gwynedd. This involves the provision of quality, part-time childcare for 2-3 year olds, an enhanced health visiting service, access to parenting programmes and speech, language and therapy support.
In order to do this we need to collect personal information about you and your family.
We must do this in line with data protection legislation, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.
The legal basis we rely on to process your personal data is article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR, which allows us to process personal data when this is necessary to perform our public task.
If the information you provide us contains special category data, such as health, religious or ethnic information the legal basis we rely on to process it are articles 9(2)(g) and (h) of the GDPR which mean that we are processing in the substantial public interest and for health purposes.
