Well the easy way to find out is to ask the authority's data protection officer, let them do the hard work for you.

Title: Who are Imperial, and how much do they know about us? Why is my NOR generated and hosted by their servers?

This is very off-piste, but I'm curious.

Does anyone know, or has anyone previously come across, a company called Imperial? (www.Imperial.co.uk) - not to be confused with the university (.ac.uk).

Looking through the NOR that got sent through to me via email, I see that the .pdf has a number of attributes that track back to Imperial.co.uk. It appears to be generated using a script or batch processing service on the Imperial servers, thus it must be generated and hosted remotely from the council systems. It also references a 'Helen Clements', who I've quickly identified as https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-clements-50a724196/

Where on earth has my information ended up? Does the council have permission or the right to ship my personal information around like this? I havent seen their name mentioned in any correspondence.

Photo of the properties/meta data to the NOR .pdf attached, and pasted below for ease of copy. Clearly it links to an external service
