How we use your information
If you are issued with a fixed penalty notice (FPN) following a noise complaint, Aberdeen City Council keeps a record of any personal information you provide and personal information the Council receives from Police Scotland in our database. This information will include your name and address and details of the complaint against you. This information will be shared with our housing teams, social care and wellbeing teams, city wardens, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue and NHS Grampian. If applicable, the information will also be shared with your registered landlord and other third sector agencies (e.g. Community Mediation, Victim Support etc.) who work collaboratively in addressing antisocial behaviour in our communities. If a FPN is not paid within 28 days this information will be shared with the Procurator Fiscal for consideration of prosecution.
How long we keep your information for
We will keep your information for 2 years from the date of the last complaint for the offending property.
