How we hold and process your information
Wavehill have been appointed by the Protected Landscapes Partnership to carry out research on the economic value of the National Trails, National Parks and National Landscapes. The aim of this research is to estimate and evidence the economic value of these designations to support future comms, publicity and advocacy work.
As part of this research, we are requesting a range of data from each designation. The data you provide will only be used for the purposes of this research and its output. Any personal information collected as part of the evaluation is kept confidential. All the information you provide will be shared with the Protected Landscapes Partnership, but no raw data will be shared with other organisations. Wavehill will produce a report based on the information but this will not identify any individuals.

Wavehill will delete the information you provide and all personal data relating to this research within six months of the end of the research.
If you have any queries regarding the evaluation, please feel free to contact either Megan Clark, who is leading the evaluation (megan.clark@wavehill.com) or Polly Martin at National Trails UK (polly.martin@nationaltrails.uk)
