We collect Personal Data about you in a number of ways, such as:

Here are some examples of the type of information we may process about you. 

• Personal details e.g. name, email address

Who we share your data with

Scottish Water will need to share certain personal data, as appropriate. Your information will only be shared if it is necessary or required for example;

• We will generate and share learning attainment data with relevant internal Scottish Water project teams where this information is required to authorise access, for example to a system or site. It may also be shared with your named employing organisation or school as part of your full learning attainment record. This will be the organisation or school you enter and maintain within your personal profile.

This access is only approved for the purposes of system maintenance and support.

We host our data within Scottish Water data centres or out with Scottish Water on other UK or EU data centres. We have robust contractual arrangements with third parties addressing data protection.
