Why are you processing my personal information?

Under the Avian Influenza (Preventative Measures) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007 bird keepers are required to register their birds.

It will also be used to help DAERA carry out risk assessments.

The Department takes data protection, freedom of information and environmental information issues seriously. It takes care to ensure that any personal information received from you is dealt with in a way which complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (2016) and Data Protection Act (2018).
