Our lawful basis is your consent.
How we use your personal data
Personal data will be used by the Five Estuaries Offshore Wind Farm Limited project team and its consultants. We will not share your information with any third parties for the purposes of direct marketing. We use third parties as data processors to provide elements of services for us.

A summary of issues raised in response to this consultation may be shared with other Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects in development that potentially affect the same areas of land as the Five Estuaries Offshore Wind Farm project. We will not share your personal data with any other parties unless required to do so by law; for instance, the Planning Inspectorate may request copies of all consultation responses received in line with the Planning Act 2008. We do not, and will not, sell personal data.

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect any personal data we process.
Data retention
We retain personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate need to do so or to meet our legal requirements or in exercising our official authority.
When we have no ongoing legitimate need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Your data protection rights
You have the right to be informed about how and why we collect and use your personal data. This Stakeholder Engagement Privacy Notice forms part of our work to inform you about the personal data we hold about you and how we use it. As we have collected and processed your personal data with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
You have the right of access to the personal data we hold about you and if you would like to exercise this or any other rights then please contact us:
