If you have any questions about anything in this Privacy Notice, or you wish to request access to the data we hold about you, you can contact us using the details above.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and up to date. Please do let us know if any of that data changes during the time we hold it.
What data do we collect from you?
We may from time to time collect, use, store and transfer the following personal data about you:
· Your full name (first name and surname)
· Your contact details, including email addresses and telephone numbers
If we need to collect any personal data for any legal reason, or under the terms of a contract we have with you, and you do not provide that data when requested, then we may not be able to carry out our obligations under that contract. In such circumstances we may have to cancel our contract with you, but we will notify you if this is the case.
Third party links and websites
Our Website may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins or applications. By clicking on any of those links or enabling those connections, you may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control those third-party sites and we are not responsible for what they may do with data they collect about you. We recommend that you read the privacy notices of each third-party site in order to understand how they may collect and process your data.
How do we collect your data?
We only collect data from and about you when we interact with you. This may be in various forms and circumstances. You may provide us with data such as names, addresses and email addresses when you correspond with us by post, phone, email or otherwise. This includes data you provide when you:
o apply to us for a grant
o enquire about the Trust and our grants
o contact us via the web enquiry form on our website.
Usually the only data that is ‘personal data’ will be your name and contact details, as the rest of the information we require will relate to the organisation applying to us for a grant. However, if you include any other personal data in your application, such as details of any individuals within the organisation, that data will be processed in accordance with this privacy notice.
Our website does not use cookies or any other automated technologies, and we do not collect any analytical or similar data.

We have set out below the purposes for which we use your data, and the legal basis (or bases, depending on the purposes for which we are using that data) that we rely upon in order to do so.

If we have awarded a grant to your organisation, by law we also have to keep certain basic information about that grant (which could include personal data) for six years after ceasing to work with you, for tax and Charities Commission purposes.
If you contact us to enquire about the Trust or our grants, whether via our website contact form or otherwise, we may retain your personal data in order to respond to your enquiry or otherwise communicate with you from time to time.

You also have certain rights to object to our processing your data, to restrict that processing or to transfer your personal data. If you would like any more information about, or would like to exercise, any of these rights please contact us. You will not be charged any fee to do so, unless your request is clearly unfounded, excessive or malicious, in which case we may either refuse to comply or we will charge a reasonable fee.
We will make every effort to respond to legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer to do so, if your request is complicated or you have made more than one request. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
You are entitled to make a complaint at any time to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, if you feel that our processing of your personal data is not compliant with our legal and regulatory obligations. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns before you contact the ICO, so we would be grateful if you would contact us in the first instance.
