Confidentiality and data protection
As part of this survey we’re asking for your email address. You do not have to give us this personal information. If you do provide it, we will use it only for the purpose of inviting you to provide further information on how you use our statistics.
The Department for Transport (DfT) is carrying out this survey to gather evidence on improving its statistical publications. This survey and the processing of personal data that it entails is necessary for the exercise of our functions as a government department. If your answers contain any information that allows you to be identified, DfT will, under data protection law, be the Controller for this information.
DfT’s privacy policy has more information about your rights in relation to your personal data, how to complain and how to contact the Data Protection Officer. You can view it at
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-transport/about/personal-information-charter.
Your information will be kept securely on a secure system within DfT and destroyed within 12 months or after our project has been completed, whichever is sooner.
