How we use your information
Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership (ACHSCP) is responsible for commissioning and working collaboratively with unpaid carer support services in Aberdeen City.
We are asking you for your thoughts and opinions from anyone who has accessed or used carer support services. We will use the information we collect as part of this consultation and engagement process to ensure that services for unpaid Carers are more tailored to their needs.
The consultation also asks questions about you. This information is voluntary. By providing this information you help us to 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.
How long we keep your information
We will keep a copy of your response until we complete the analysis. We will keep summary data for 3 years beyond publication of any strategy documentation.
Your rights
You have rights in relation to your data, including the right to ask for a copy of it. See more information about all the rights you have, how they work in practice as well as 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 this information. Wherever we process data, we need to make sure we have a legal basis in data protection law for doing so. The Council understands our 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. This is because enabling participation in decisions and processes which are aimed at improving outcomes is part of our public task under the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015.
We may also process special categories of personal data, should you choose to provide equality data. The Council understand our legal basis for doing so as being necessary for reasons of substantial public interest, for the purpose of equality monitoring.
