Oldham Fire Service Data Privacy Rules 2026
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority manages data for Oldham residents visiting manchesterfire.gov.uk using Google Analytics with a 14-month retention period. IP masking and anonymisation protocols protect user identity during site visits tracking screen resolution and browser types. Email newsletter metrics including open rates and link clicks are monitored via MailChimp and visible to authorised GMCA staff. Most personal information remains stored on electronic systems within the United Kingdom rather than outside the European Economic Area. The authority explicitly prohibits sharing resident details with third parties for marketing or commercial research purposes. Users retain the right to unsubscribe from alerts or request access to held information through provided digital links.
