Fleet Management Privacy Notice

Read the privacy notice for Fleet Management.

South Ayrshire Council staff may be required to operate a vehicle as part of their duties of employment. As a vehicle operator South Ayrshire Council has a responsibility to ensure all employees driving on behalf of the Council have the required entitlement on their licence to drive legally on the public highway and are driving in a safe manner in line with Council policies and procedures. To meet this requirement regular licence checks are carried out by Fleet Management and staff may be allocated driver key fobs.

As the 'data controller' for the personal information - or data - we hold about you, South Ayrshire Council decides how your personal information is used/processed, and what it is used for.

This statement provides more details about this and provides information on how to get in touch with us if you need to know more.

Your personal data - what is it?

Personal data is information relating to a living person who can be identified from that data. Identification can be based on the information alone, or in conjunction with any other information. The processing of personal data is governed by the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and supplemented by the Data Protection Act 2018.

How will we use your information?

Driver DVLA Checks

Driver Key Fobs

Your personal information will be used to validate the driving licence check with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). On completion of the DVLA's online e-consent form, we will check your name and address on our transport management system against your employee record held in the Council's HR database (a paper consent DVLA D906 form is available for completion where employees do not have an email address). Once this validation is complete, your name, address, employee number and driving licence number will be sent to DVLA who will then return the driving licence check information.

Your personal information will be used to establish which driver number you have been allocated, and to ensure that staff who are driving South Ayrshire Council owned vehicles are driving in accordance with the Council's policies and procedures.

Where it is reported your driving standards have failed to meet Council policy or legal requirements this data may be used for investigation purposes, e.g. where traffic violations or parking offences are reported to us.

What is the legal basis for using/sharing your information?

Our legal basis for using and sharing your personal data is that the processing is required for the purposes of carrying out obligations and exercising rights of the Council in the field of employment, i.e. to allow the employee to meet their employment contract requirements where driving on behalf of the Council is a mandatory requirement of a job role.

Who will we share your information with?
