Contribute & data
What personal information should I avoid publishing in a WasteSpot submission?
Share only the information needed to describe the public place, waste report or material listing, and avoid unnecessary personal data.
Complete answer
The answer
For a recycling centre, use public business or authority contact details rather than a private person’s information. In photos, avoid faces, licence plates, home addresses or other personal details unless they are genuinely necessary and appropriate.
For Waste Exchange, publish contact details only if you are comfortable making them public and they are appropriate for the listing.
What to do
- Prefer public organisational contact details.
- Avoid unnecessary personal information in text and photos.
- Use the privacy contact if you need a data correction or removal.
