What we do with your data and why
We will use the information you provide to contact you as part of the grant assessment process.

Protecting your data
We keep your data secure in our database with appropriate security mechanisms in place. Our policy is not to share your data with anyone else or any other organisation, unless it is with other grant making organisations pursuant to their interest in making a grant to your organisation.

We will retain all data supplied to us for a minimum period of seven years, after which it is removed from the database.

Our responsibilities
The law require us to tell you the basis on which we process your data. If the law requires your consent to process data in a certain way then we will obtain it before carrying out that activity.

In practice this means we check that we will not cause you harm by processing your data and that it is not overly intrusive.
