Terms and Conditions 

The Driving Standards Agency (DSA) is an executive agency of the data controller, the Department for Transport (DfT). Your personal data will be processed by DSA for the purpose of administering the Safe Driving For Life consultation. Postings to the forum pages of the website will not be counted as formal responses to the consultation. For your opinions to be counted in the consultation you should complete the questionnaire on the Tell us what you think! page of the website. Personal data processed on the forum pages of the website will be held for the duration of the consultation only and deleted thereafter. Formal responses to the consultation will be retained and used to inform future policy. Any personal data associated with these responses will be anonymised.  

This website does not use cookies or other technology to gather information about you without your knowledge, although users’ IP addresses will be automatically recognised by the web server.

Freedom of Information – Publication of Responses

In line with our policy on openness, it is our intention to make available the responses we receive.  We will publish them on our website – www.dsa.gov.uk - at the end of the consultation period, unless you specifically ask us not to do so. You should also be aware that we might have to disclose your response if asked to do so as part of a request for information made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You may ask that your response is kept confidential, but we will only be able to do this if withholding the information is consistent with the obligations under that legislation.  Please note that a confidentiality disclaimer generated by an IT system in e-mail responses will not be regarded as a confidentiality request.  If third parties ask for hard copies of responses, we will make a reasonable charge for processing and copying.

Personal data is not disclosed to, or shared with, any third parties other than in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. For further information, please see our website www.dsa.gov.uk. Details of the DfT’s / DSA’s registration with the Information Commissioner can be viewed on the Data Protection Public Register on the Commissioner’s website – www.ico.gov.uk.  DfT’s registration number is Z7122992.
