Dear Dr Bevan

Request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002

Thank you for your email received on 18 September 2009 requesting that the following information be provided to you:

“I see from the recent press release [1] about free golf for under 18s that:

"In order to play on the course, young people will be required to book in advance and have a valid Kidz Card or Young Scot Card".

Can you please confirm for me that this is indeed the policy; that council officials would not accept alternative documents or evidence as proof of age?

Looking at the application form for a Glasgow Young Scot Card, I see that children are required to explicitly opt out if they object to data sharing and the associated activation of a Citizen's Account, rather than being required to opt in if they do consent to data sharing.

I should be grateful if you could provide me with a copy of the Privacy Impact Assessment associated with the Glasgow Young Scot Card and its application form, and any other documents pertaining to the decision to require an opt-out rather than an opt-in.”

The Council is treating your request as a request under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

On inspecting our records, it would appear that Glasgow City Council does not hold the information which you have requested. Neither does anyone else hold it on our behalf. Accordingly we are unable to comply with your request.

The information which you have requested is held by Cultural and Sport Glasgow, which are now a separate entity to the Council. You can make a Freedom of Information request to them by contacting:

Information Services Manager

If you are dissatisfied with the way Glasgow City Council has dealt with your request you are entitled to require the Council to review its decision. Please note that for a review to take place you must:

Executive Director of Corporate Services

Glasgow City Council

City Chambers

George Square

Email: [email address]

You will receive notice of the results of the review within 20 working days of receipt of your request. The notice will state the decision reached by the reviewing officer as well as details of how to appeal to the Scottish Information Commissioner if you are still dissatisfied with the Council's response. You must request an internal review by the Council before a complaint can be directed to the Scottish Information Commissioner.

If you have any further queries regarding this process, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
