Damp and Mould


This guidance identifies the drivers and data protection considerations for using data relating to damp and mould, and the health of tenants and properties affected by it. Information is given to help organisations decide their position on how to build strong foundations for projects to comply with data protection legislation when processing damp and mould-related data.

There is a list of relevant legislation and lawful basis conditions and language that will help you justify the purposes for processing personal data.

Also included is a reference table highlighting how this type of data processing relates to the recommendations for senior management from the Housing Ombudsman’s 2021 Spotlight Report.
