This site is designed to enable you to securely interact with the various States of Guernsey services via a single portal.

The only data that it collects, which can be related to you personally, is the data you enter on screen. The information:

  • is transmitted securely (encrypted)
  • is stored on our secure data centre in Guernsey and only accessible to authorised staff or suppliers
  • will only be used by the States of Guernsey (unless there is a legal reason to pass it on or we must enforce or apply our terms of use or other agreements)
  • will only be used in relation to the provision of services, to maintain your record in the Register of Contact Details and/or to compile aggregated statistics

The States of Guernsey processes any personal data that it collects in accordance with the Data Protection (Bailiwick of Guernsey) Law 2017, which provides for your rights as a Data Subject. To find out more about how the personal data you send the States of Guernsey via my.gov.gg is processed once it has been received, please refer to this Fair Processing Notice.
