SURVEY PRIVACY NOTICE

All OPCC surveys are completely anonymous – (no personal information is requested/collected or stored).

The OPCC use the results as anonymised statistics. Where participants have been asked to provide comments, these cannot be identified to a survey user.

Comments are combined with those gathered from other survey participants and are analysed as part of a group.

The OPCC provides these anonymised results to stakeholder partners such as Dorset Police, to help them gain a better understanding of what is working well and identify areas that may need improvement.
