How we use your information
Aberdeen City Council is developing a Heritage & Place Programme which if successful will see around £5M invested in historic buildings, public realm, community activities and skills training between 2025-2030. We are seeking to engage, through surveys with building professionals, consultants, trades and contractors.
Where you have provided your name and contact information, Aberdeen City Council collects this contact information to provide you with the results of the survey, and further help us to develop the specifics of the Training Plan, or be added to the mailing list for Heritage and Place Programme funded training opportunities.
Every update you receive from us will give you the option to withdraw from receiving updates or you can email us at pi@aberdeencity.gov.uk at any time and we will remove your contact information.
How long we keep information for
Responses to the surveys will be kept until we complete the analysis that will inform the process of developing the Heritage & Place Programme. Thereafter, we will keep statistical and qualitative data beyond this point, but you will not be identifiable from this information. The resulting report may be published on the Council website until it is superseded and then retained indefinitely. This will not contain any data that can identify you as an individual.
We will keep your contact information for as long as you wish to continue receiving updates about the Heritage Place & Programme.
