Data Protection and Freedom of Information
In order to provide members of the public with a
service, Ryedale District Council very often needs to
obtain personal information about its citizens. We must be very
careful how we handle such ‘personal data’ as the Council has a
legal obligation to treat this information in a specifc way.
Ryedale District Council also welcomes the coming into force
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FoIA). It is hoped that,
through the Act’s support for a culture of openness and
accountability, it will lead to a better public understanding of
how the Council carries out its duties, the reasons for the
decisions it makes and how it spends public money.
