Privacy policy for Paul Maynard MP
Any personal information that you give to me will be handled confidentially
by me, the staff and volunteers in my office, in line with the requirements of
the Data Protection Act 1998. If you would like information about the Data
Protection Act 1998, this can be obtained from the Information Commissioner’s
Office through their website www.ico.gov.uk or advice line 08456 306 060.
What information do we collect about you?
My office collects personal information that is supplied to me in my role as a
Member of Parliament. It includes information supplied by my constituents and
others in relation to matters which I have been asked to pursue in the interests of
individuals and groups who live in my constituency such as:
• details of specific cases
• information provided by signatories on petitions
• responses to questionnaires and
• contact details for the purpose of communicating news and updates

I also collect information on use of my website using cookies.

How will we use the information about you?
If you ask me to pursue a matter on your behalf, I will use your information in
order to pursue the matter you have raised with me. My staff and volunteers
will normally see this information to find help and advice for you. Your personal
and sensitive personal information may be passed to other agencies (such as the
Department for Work and Pensions, the CSA, the local Housing Department) if I
believe this to be necessary to pursue the matter you have raised with me. Your
information may also be passed on to the House of Commons Information Office
to obtain further information about your case. I intend that only the minimum
possible personal information will be shared with other agencies, as necessary to
further your cause.
If you give me personal information about someone other than yourself, I may
need to check the facts with that other person. If you ask me to take action
on behalf of a friend or relative I may need to contact that person to confirm
that they are happy for me to act on their behalf. If you feel it would not be
appropriate for me to contact the other person, you should discuss this with me
when you give me their information.
Constituency news and events
I would like to send you information about constituency news and events,
but I will not use your contact details to do this unless you have said that you
would like to be sent this information. If you have said that you would like this
information, but later change your mind, you have a right at any time to let us
know if you no longer wish to be sent this information. If you wish to receive or
stop receiving this information, please contact my office.
Access to your information and correction
If you wish to see any information that I hold about you, if you want me to
update or correct any personal information that I hold about you, or if you have
any queries regarding personal data that I hold about you, please contact my
office.
