Council Public Meetings - Webcasting
To allow open and transparent access, Live streaming and webcasting takes place at all public South Ayrshire Council Meetings. Where this filming takes place, your image may be live streamed online.
Details of webcasting are presented within each meeting agenda; there is public signage in place which advises of filming taking place on entering the meeting venue; and a clear announcement of the live streaming of the meeting is made by the Chair of the Panel before the meeting commences. We also notify you of our intention to live stream and broadcast public Council meetings on our website. As the 'data controller' for the personal information - or data - we hold about you, South Ayrshire Councildecides how your personal information is used/processed, and what it is used for. This statement provides more details about this and provides information on how to get in touch with us if you need to know more.

Processing is necessary under the terms of the UK GDPR for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the data controller as per Article 6(1) (e) of the UK GDPR, being legislation that underpins the ability of the public to have open access to Council meetings - the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, Part IIIA, Section 50A.
