Privacy statement

Last updated 30 May 2026. How I collect, use, store and protect your personal data when you use this site or get in touch with me.

Who is responsible for your data

I, Cllr Nikki Lloyd, am the data controller for personal data submitted through this website (cllrnikkilloyd.com). I act in my capacity as the elected Reform UK Councillor for the Greenlands and Lakeside ward of Redditch Borough Council.

For data protection enquiries you can contact me at nicola.lloyd@redditchbc.gov.uk or by post at C/O Redditch Borough Council, Redditch Town Hall, Walter Stranz Square, Redditch, B98 8AH.

Casework that needs to be passed to council officers will be processed under the council’s own privacy notice. You can read that on the Redditch Borough Council website.

What personal data this site collects

You only give me personal data if you choose to. The forms on the site are the only places that collect it.

Community feedback form

If you submit ward feedback I collect the following.

  • Your chosen contact method, and your email or phone if you provided one.
  • Whether you are a resident of Greenlands, Lakeside, or elsewhere.
  • The type and details of your submission, including any photos you attach.
  • Whether you would like a follow up reply.
  • Optional newsletter consent and email, optional issue category, and an optional rating of local maintenance.

Newsletter contribution form

If you submit a piece for the monthly newsletter I collect the following.

  • Your name and email, and optionally a phone number.
  • The type of contribution, your proposed title, and the body of your submission, including any files.
  • Confirmation that you grant permission to publish and that the content is original.
  • Whether you would like your name withheld if the piece is published.
  • Optional feedback on the existing newsletter format.

Newsletter subscribers

If you subscribe to the newsletter I collect only your email address and the date you subscribed.

Contact form

If you send me a message through the contact page I collect the following.

  • Your name and email address.
  • An optional phone number.
  • The category of enquiry and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

Like any website, basic technical information is recorded by my hosting provider so the site can serve pages and stay secure. This includes a temporary record of the request, the page visited, your approximate location at country level, and a generic device or browser type. No analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies are used. See the cookies policy for more detail.

Why I collect your data, and the lawful basis

  • To respond to enquiries and casework. Lawful basis: legitimate interests, and where relevant the performance of a task carried out in the public interest as an elected councillor.
  • To send you the monthly newsletter. Lawful basis: your consent, given when you tick the subscribe box.
  • To consider your submission for publication. Lawful basis: your consent, given in the publication agreement on the newsletter contribution form.
  • To keep the site running and secure. Lawful basis: legitimate interests in maintaining a working, safe website.

Who I share your data with

I use a small number of suppliers (data processors) to keep the site and database running. They are bound by data processing terms and cannot use your data for their own purposes.

  • Supabase stores form submissions, newsletter subscribers, contact messages, and any uploaded files. The database is hosted in the EU (London region).
  • Vercel hosts the website. Pages are served from edge servers, which may include locations outside the UK.
  • If and when I begin sending the newsletter by email, a UK GDPR compliant email provider will be added to this list before any emails are sent.

I will share your information with Redditch Borough Council, other councillors, or council officers only where it is necessary to progress your casework, and only with as much detail as is required. I will not pass your details to anyone else without your permission unless I am legally required to do so.

International transfers

Where data is transferred outside the UK or the European Economic Area (for example by Vercel for technical reasons), it is protected by appropriate safeguards including standard contractual clauses recognised under UK GDPR.

How long I keep your data

  • Casework and feedback is kept for the duration of the current council term, and for up to six years after, to allow for follow up enquiries and audit. After this it is deleted.
  • Newsletter contributions are kept for as long as you remain happy for them to be considered for the newsletter. If you withdraw consent, your contribution and contact details are deleted within one month.
  • Newsletter subscribers are kept until you unsubscribe. Unsubscribed records are removed within one month unless retention is required to honour your wishes (for example to avoid re-adding you).
  • Contact messages are kept for up to three years from the date of the last contact, then deleted.

Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the right to ask me about the personal data I hold about you, to correct it, to ask for it to be deleted, to restrict how I use it, to object to certain uses, and to ask for a portable copy. To exercise any of these rights, email nicola.lloyd@redditchbc.gov.uk with the subject line “Data request”. I will respond within one calendar month.

If you have given consent (for example to receive the newsletter) you can withdraw it at any time. The unsubscribe link in any newsletter email is the simplest way.

If you are unhappy with how your data has been handled you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk, or by telephone on 0303 123 1113. I would appreciate the chance to put things right first, so please consider getting in touch with me before contacting the ICO.

Children

This site is intended for adults. If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian to use the forms on your behalf.

I may update this statement from time to time to reflect changes in how the site is used or to keep it aligned with the law. The latest version will always be at this URL, and the “last updated” date at the top of the page will tell you when it was last revised.
