Consent

There will be occasions when we will need to get your consent to process and use your information and data. In these circumstances, it’s your decision if you want to give us your consent for us to do this. You can also choose specifically what you agree to us using your data for and how long you give us your permission to use it. 

Consent is your free and informed decision to agree to the processing of your personal data for a specific purpose. 

Network Homes / SW9 Community Housing collects consent for:

  • Representative consent - this is when you allow another person to speak or act on your behalf in certain matters, this also includes permitting Network Homes authority to speak with third parties where consent is needed. Please refer to our Representative Consent dedicated page for details.
  • Photos - we will collect your consent from affirmative action for large events and written consent for smaller events. Where consent is obtained via affirmative action, there will be disclaimers at those events advising what photos you pose in will be used for and directions on how to not participate in any photos. 
  • Remaining on housing waiting lists for intermediate rents properties - this is a closed process with an existing waiting list. Therefore no consent from new applicants will be obtained for this.

How does Network Homes / SW9 Community Housing manage consent?

When you give us consent to process your data, we will save the record on a secure database. This is managed by the Business Support Team except for photo consent, which is managed by the Communications Team. You can withdraw consent at any time. If you would like to withdraw consent, please drop us an email at dpo@sw9.org.uk or call our office on 0207 326 3700.
