Our legal basis
Aberdeen City Council is the Data Controller for this information. Whenever we process data, we need to have a legal basis in data protection law for doing so. The Council understands our legal basis for processing your data as being part of our public task because producing a strategy for parental involvement and engagement is part of our public task. In carrying out this function, the Council is also likely to process special categories of personal data. The Council understands our legal basis as being necessary for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes.
