How we use your information
Aberdeen City Council carry out feasibility studies and options appraisals on their school estates prior to formal statutory consultation.
The information collected in these surveys, which may include questions about you will be analysed and used in business cases and reports to Councillors to understand your views and support the next steps to statutory consultation as appropriate.
Your name will not be recorded and questions should not allow for individuals to be directly identified. Any identifiable information inadvertently included will not be made available via any subsequent reports.
Where special category information is collected this will be used to provide statistical information within business cases and reports.
How long we keep information for
We will keep your response until we have completed the analysis that will inform the report. We will keep the anonymised summary information for one year from the end of the consultation.
