Employer Green Skills Initiative (EGSI) Privacy Notice

How we hold and process your information

Wavehill is conducting a survey on behalf of Grŵp Llandrillo Menai (GLLM).

The information gathered will be used to help Grŵp Llandrillo Menai understand the impact and effectiveness of the Employer Green Skills project. The project aims to support employers and individuals to develop the green skills needed to respond to the transition to net zero, including through training, upskilling, and support linked to decarbonisation and sustainable business practices.

People taking part in the survey have been selected because they have taken part in, engaged with, or benefitted from the Employer Green Skills project. Participation in the survey is voluntary. You can decide not to take part before or during the survey and can choose not to answer certain questions if you prefer.

Any personal information collected as part of the survey will be kept confidential. Your answers to the survey will not be made public in a way that could lead to you or your business/organisation being identified without your consent. The information will only be used for research purposes. Wavehill will produce a report based on the data collected, but this will not identify any individuals or organisations unless express permission has been given.

Your personal data will be deleted within six months of the completion of the evaluation. Your survey responses may be linked anonymously to other project data sources for non-commercial research purposes only, unless you ask for this linkage not to take place. The anonymised data will be held securely and will only ever be used for non-commercial research purposes. We do not share or use your information for commercial or marketing purposes.

The survey may collect some personal data, such as your name, role, organisation, and contact details. Where this information is collected, it will only be used for the purposes of the evaluation.
