River Tay Freshwater Protection Order

 

DATA PROTECTION - PRIVACY NOTICE

WHAT WE NEED

The Tay Liaison Committee (TLC) is a non-governmental organisation. Its primary purpose is to oversee the operation of the River Tay Protection Order, (TPO) and to report annually, or when requested to do so, to Marine Scotland (The Scottish Government).

The TLC also provides a forum where fishing issues can be debated, and management recommendations made. 

The management of the TLC shall be vested in a committee which shall comprise six officers, namely Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Secretary, Minute Secretary, Treasurer, Recorder and ordinary members as required.

In managing the Tay Protection Order the TLC gathers in, and manages, access agreements and also manages TPO Wardens.

Every access agreement and Warden database holds personal information from the Owners, Agents and Clubs and Wardens as appropriate. The TLC is the “Controller” of all the personal information provided.

PERSONAL DATA

When you fill in an access agreement, or apply to be a Warden, we will ask you for the following personal information:

• Contact Details – Name, Address, Email Address, Phone Numbers,

WHY WE NEED YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION – CONTRACTUAL PURPOSES

We need to collect your personal information so that we can manage the TPO. We will use your personal information to:

• Provide you with core TPO services

• Send you communications by post or email in relation to essential TPO services including, but not limited to, general meeting notices, access agreement issues, complaints from members of the public, warden training etc.

If you do not provide us with all of the personal information that we need to collect, then this may affect our ability to offer the above services.

WHY WE NEED YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION – LEGITIMATE PURPOSES

We also process personal information in pursuit of our legitimate interests to:

• Manage access agreements for anglers to fish for freshwater fish species (Trout, Grayling and Coarse). These access agreements are specific for River Beats and Lochs in the Tay System and they come direct to the TLC from the Riparian Owners, Loch Owners or their Agents or via Angling Clubs which are responsible for gathering the information from those Owners and Agents.

• Manage the organisation and training of TPO Wardens. We hold information on each Warden.

• Respond to and communicate with Owners, Agents, Angling Clubs and Wardens regarding questions, comments, support needs or complaints, concerns or allegations in relation to TPO fishings, or other activities.

• Promote and encourage improvements to River Banks etc via Riparian Owners and Angling Clubs.

• If you make a complaint, we will use your personal information to investigate your complaint and take necessary action.

Where we process your personal information in pursuit of our legitimate interests, you have the right to object to us using your personal information for the above purposes.

If you wish to object to any of the above processing of your personal data, please contact the TLC Recorder by email (tayprotectionorder@yahoo.com).  If we agree and comply with your objection, this may affect our ability to undertake the tasks above for the benefit of you as a member.
