Introduction

When responding to this request for feedback, the Welsh Government will become the data controller for any information you provide. The information you provide will be used to inform decisions on the future of the rough sleeper data collection. Any information you provide will be used anonymously and will not be publicly attributable to you unless we ask for your consent.

Welsh Government will retain your email address, and any personal information you provide as part of your response, for up to a year and will only use it if we need to contact you to further understand the responses you have provided. We will not share your personal information with any third parties. 

Any non-identifiable information (such as a summary of the decision we make based on feedback from all users) will be retained indefinitely.
