FixMyStreet Pro and GDPR

GDPR is on everyone’s minds at the moment: the new data protection regulations come into force in May and will give new rights to citizens as regards the storage and use of their personal data.

We’re fortunate at mySociety in that we’ve always adhered to strong principles when it comes to privacy. That said, we’ve not always been great at setting those protocols down in writing, and the arrival of GDPR has been very good for us in that respect.

Over the past few months, we’ve been very busy creating internal documentation and updating the privacy policies which sit on each of our sites, so that we all know we’re on the same page. Staff now have a set of written guidelines that we all adhere to; users can very clearly see how we use and store their personal data, and how to opt out if they wish to.

FixMyStreet Pro, a service we host, but which allows our client councils access to users’ personal information, has required particular thought. The result is our data sharing and security agreement, a document which we hope that you, as a potential or existing client, will examine with care.

Got any questions? Don’t hesitate to drop us a line.
