Who we are and what we do
This website is maintained by the Royal Docks Team, a joint initiative by the Mayor of London and Mayor of Newham. Royal Docks Team (‘We’) are responsible for the management and coordination of development and regeneration activities in the Royal Docks Enterprise Zone.
We are not a legally distinct entity. We have been established and are accountable to the GLA.
GLA – also known as City Hall – is London’s regional government and the home of the Mayor of London, the London Assembly and the staff who support them.
Contact details for the Data Protection Officer (DPO) for the GLA, including London Assembly Members and the Greater London Returning Officer can be found on the GLA privacy rights page.
We are committed to protecting your privacy and processing your personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection legislation. This policy explains how the information we collect about you is used and kept securely. It also explains your privacy choices when using our website as well as your right to access your information.
Cookies
royaldocks.london places a piece of text - a cookie - on your device;
e.g. computer or smartphone. This is done so that we can provide services to you in a reliable and useful way, for example, enabling a service to recognise your device so that you don’t have to give the same information several times for the same task.
A cookie will typically contain the name of the website which placed the cookie on your device, the lifetime of the cookie and its name. It cannot be used to identify you personally.
We use the following types of cookie:
Session cookies: to ensure you are recognised when you move from page to page within our site and that any information you enter is remembered.

Why we handle personal information
Under data protection legislation, the GLA is only allowed to use personal information if we have a proper reason (known as a ‘legal basis’) to do so.
The ‘legal basis’ relied on to process the personal data we hold will depend on the way in which you have engaged with the Royal Docks Team GLA, or the service or product you use or sign up for. In most cases, however, our handling of your personal information will be necessary for the delivery of our public functions. In other words, when we use personal information we do so to deliver better public services to Londoners as individuals and as a whole.
