Some services on this website require us to collect personal information from you. To comply with the Data Protection Act, we have a duty to tell you how we store the information we collect and how it is used. Any information you do submit will be stored securely and will never be sold to any third party.
Privacy statement
Vision Zero South West (VZSW) is a partnership of organisations working together to reduce people killed or seriously injured from a road traffic collision, rather than a legal entity in its own right. The information you provide may need to be shared to the relevant Partner, in order to fully investigate and answer the request.
Partners represented at VZSW include Office for Police and Crime Commissioner, Devon & Cornwall Police, Cornwall Council, Plymouth City Council, Torbay Council, Devon County Council, National Highways, Devon & Somerset Fire Rescue Service, Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service, Devon Air Ambulance, Cornwall Air Ambulance, South Western Ambulance Service Trust, University Hospital Plymouth Trust & TTC (road safety training organisation).
Please note enquirers received via the Contact form will initially be received by Cornwall Council to either respond to on behalf of the VZSW Partnership or to deem who the appropriate information holders are. Where the request requires response direct from a Partner, we will advise you of this. We will seek permission to forward your request or advise you how to make contact.
If your request involves information from a number of VZSW Partners, Cornwall Council will act as the CenterPoint in which a response will be sent acting in our capacity as the main administrator of the group. We will only share details of the request and personal information will be removed. We will contact you to get your permission if it becomes necessary to pass on any personal information.
Any information you do submit will be stored securely with restricted authorised access and will never be sold to any third party. Correspondence received will be kept for a period of 12 months to assist any ongoing enquires. Once twelve months has passed, records will be deleted.
Who will control my data?
The Data Controller for all the information you provide on this form is Cornwall Council, New County Hall, Treyew Road, Truro TR1 3AY. Data Protection Registration Number: Z1745294

USER ANONYMITY AND PERSONAL INFORMATION
Log files are maintained and analysed of all requests for files on this website’s web servers. Log files do not capture personal information but do capture the user’s IP address, which is automatically recognised by our web servers.
Aggregated analysis of these log files is used to monitor website usage. These analyses may be made available to the partner agencies involved in VZSW to allow them to measure, for example, overall popularity of the site and typical user paths through the site.
Except as stated already, no attempt will be made to identify individual users. You should be aware, however, that access to web pages will generally create log entries in the systems of your ISP or network service provider. These entities may be in a position to identify the client computer equipment used to access a page. Such monitoring would be done by the provider of network services and is beyond the responsibility or control of VZSW.
VZSW will make no attempt to track or identify individual users, except where there is a reasonable suspicion that unauthorised access to systems is being attempted. In the case of all users, VZSW reserves the right to attempt to identify and track any individual who is reasonably suspected of trying to gain unauthorised access to computer systems or resources operating as part of VZSW web services.
