How we use your information
By taking part in this engagement exercise, you will help Aberdeen City Council understand what matters to you, your family and your community about the options being considered to deal with/remove the Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) roof panels that are present in some properties in the Balnagask area of the city.
Your responses will be used to inform recommendations to, and decisions by, Aberdeen City Council.
Any report that the Council considers will not include personal identifiers. If you choose to provide any comments, we may use them in the Council Report that will be available on the Council website, but your comments will not be linked to you.
Once a record of your response is received it will be stored in our management system and used by the technical advisors to inform the wider consideration of the various mitigation/remove options.
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
Our external technical advisors, will help us with the drop in sessions and online survey. We will give them your addresses only, so they can send you the information pack about these opportunities.
After we get your responses, we will pass these to our external technical advisors who will analyse them and write a technical report for the Council.
How long we keep your information
Responses will be kept until we complete the analysis that will inform the recommendation and decision by Aberdeen City Council. Thereafter, we will keep statistical data beyond this point, but you will not be identifiable from this information.
The Options Appraisal will be communicated to Council in the form of a Report and supporting appendices, which will be published on the Council website and will be kept permanently. This will not contain any data that can identify you as an individual.
Your rights
You have rights in relation to your data, including the right to ask for a copy of it. Visit the Your data page for more information about the rights you have, as well as the 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 we have not 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 or in the exercise of the official authority vested in the Council.
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.
