ENCTS Wakefield Pilot Surveys Privacy Notice

Read our privacy notice for the May 2026 SNAP survey.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about a living person that means we can work out who they are. When we collect your personal data, West Yorkshire Combined Authority is what is known as the ‘data controller’.

As the data controller, we will:

  • Only keep your data that we need to provide services you have requested and do what the law says we must
  • Keep your data safe and accurate
  • Only keep your data as long as we have to
  • Collect, store and use your data in a way which does not break any data protection laws

Why are we collecting your personal data?

The purpose for collecting your personal data is to better understand current travel behaviours, identify any barriers to travel created by the weekday off‑peak restriction, and assess the impact of allowing free pre‑09:30 travel for Disabled ENCTS and Companion Pass holders. This work forms part of our ‘public task’, which means we are carrying out one of our official functions as a Combined Authority.

What data are we collecting?

Personal data processed for this project includes:

  • Name and email address (to contact you)
  • Postcode, age range, gender, opinions, travel habits, racial or ethnic origin, health or disability data (to inform the research)

Who are we sharing your data with?

West Yorkshire Combined Authority does not intend to share personal data we collect for this survey with any other organisation. There are some rare circumstances where we would share data (e.g. if we received a court order) and these are covered in the main ENCTS travel pass privacy notice.

How long do we keep your data for?

We will keep the personal data collected for this project until May 2027, at which time it will be securely destroyed.

What if I have any questions?

If you would like to read West Yorkshire Combined Authority’s corporate privacy notice, which includes further information about your rights under the UK GDPR and how to contact the Data Protection Officer, it is available on our privacy and cookies policy webpage.
