Your data: Accessing Money Advice and Advisory Services Survey
How we use your information
Aberdeen City Council is asking you to take part in this survey so that you can tell us about your experiences in accessing advice and financial services in Aberdeen. Your responses will help us identify key issues and opportunities to improve access.
We do not need your name, address, or any other contact details as part of this survey so you can respond anonymously. If you do identify yourself in any of the responses to the questions we have asked, we will not use this information in our analysis.
We also ask questions about you. This information is voluntary. By providing this information, you help us monitor the statistical data to ensure the Council is interacting in a balanced way with groups of people with protected characteristics as defined by the Equality Act 2010.
Who we share information with
Summary data will be published within a report that will be considered by the Council. No personal information will be included in the report, and you will not be identifiable from the information. If you provide any comments, we may use them in the report, but you won’t be identified as having made the comment.
How long we keep your information
Responses will be kept until we complete our analysis of all the surveys. We will keep statistical data beyond that point, but you will not be identifiable from this information. The analysis and the final report will not have your name or any other information that might tell someone else who or where you are. The report will also go on the Aberdeen City Council website and will be kept permanently.
Your rights
You have rights in relation to your data, including the right to ask for a copy of it. See more information about all of the rights you have as well as contact details for the Council’s Data Protection Officer. You also have the right to make a complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office if you think that we haven’t handled your data properly.
Our legal basis
Aberdeen City Council is the Data Controller for your information. Wherever we process personal data we must have a legal basis in data protection law and tell you what it is. The Council’s legal basis for this processing is that it is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
In doing so, we may also process special categories of personal data, should you choose to provide equality and diversity information. The Council’s legal basis for doing so is that it is necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, for the purpose of equality monitoring.
