For the purposes of the Data Protection Act (2018) and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the ‘controller’ of the personal data which you provide in the attached form is the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (“the Combined Authority”, “we”, “us”) of Wellington House, 40-50 Wellington St, Leeds LS1 2DE (Tel: 0113 251 7272). The Combined Authority is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office with registration number ZA051694.


The Combined Authority is collecting this data and will process it for the purpose of supporting a benchmarking research project that aims to understand how we can improve the awareness of the innovation support available to help businesses develop their ideas, pursue their innovation projects and access the right support to grow, collaborate and add to our region’s economy. As part of this, we are asking business owners to help shape how we engage and promote the LEP’s innovation support programme, Connecting Innovation via an online survey.


There is an opportunity at the end of the survey to tell us a little about your business and to sign up to receive dedicated innovation news from the LEP and take part in further research. It should be noted that this is entirely optional, and any information provided is confidential and will be anonymised during reporting. You also have the right to opt-out of providing this information at any time.


We will not share your information with any other organisation or third party. There may be other circumstances in which we may share or use certain information about you, which are:


  • if we have a legal obligation to do so or if we are required or requested to do so by a competent authority such as the police or a court;
  • if we need to use or disclose your information to obtain legal advice or in connection with legal proceedings;
  • if we need to share your information to protect your vital interests if you are unable to give us consent or it is unreasonable for us to ask for your consent in the circumstances (e.g. if you are injured).


We will retain your demographic and firmographic information for the duration of the analysis and on the expiration of such period we will safely delete it. For those who provide contact details in order to sign up to receive communications, these details will be added to the relevant mailing lists.


Information provided to the Combined Authority will be processed under Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR which states that processing is necessary for the purposes of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.


As a data subject you have a number of rights under the DPA. These include the right to access the information which we hold about you. In some cases you may have a right to have your personal data rectified, erased or restricted, and to object to certain use of your data.


If you are unsatisfied with the manner in which we collect or handle your personal data you have a right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office. Information about how to make complaints can be found on the ICO’s website at https://ico.org.uk
