Your data: Community Led Walkabouts

How we use your information

Community Led Walkabouts are held throughout the year across Aberdeen. Community Led Walkabouts aim to address concerns individuals or community groups have about the area they live or work in. Anyone can attend a walkabout.

When booking your place on a walkabout you will be asked your name, email address, which area of Aberdeen you live in and whether you have any concerns you'd like addressed at the walkabout. This data will be used to book your place and communicate with you about the walkabout, and help us to identify which council officers need to attend and also plan the walking route. 

We will also ask you if you have previously reported your concerns to us. For further details of how your information is used when reporting a concern, please see the relevant service privacy notice.

We may take photos at some of our walkabouts to use in promotional materials and on our website. We will let you know if any photos are due to be taken at the beginning of the walkabout. We will ask for consent to take photos at the point of booking.

How long we keep your information for

We will keep the information in relation to your booking for 2 years. If you report a concern, please see the relevant services privacy notice for further details on how your information will be kept.
