Privacy

Having the confidence to impart any private information to the council via online forms or applications requires reassurance - it's important to us that, when you choose to do so, your privacy is not compromised and that we behave in a clear, responsible manner.

We regard protecting your personal information as critically important - we will only ever require this information to provide current services and plan for future service areas.

Any personal information provided by you is stored in databases owned by either Gwynedd Council or an organisation used by the Council to provide on line services on its behalf.

Unless prompted through law we will never impart any personal information to companies, businesses or individuals.

When using debit cards to make any on line payments - council tax etc., card details will be encrypted along with other security measures.
