Personal data means any personal information that we hold, or are likely to hold, relating to an identified or identifiable living individual.  In practice, this means personal information we hold in connection with applications to us for grant funding and information provided about grants which we have awarded.

  1. The information we will collect:

We will collect and process personal information about an individual which has been provided in connection with an application or potential application for a grant or the award of a grant by completing application forms or reports, contacting us by phone, email or otherwise.  This information may include:

  • Where an applicant or potential applicant for a grant provides personal information relating to another person, we will ask the applicant or potential applicant to confirm to us that they have obtained consent on behalf of that person to provide the personal information to us
  1. How we use personal information:

Any personal information provided will be collected and processed in order to:

  • Undertake our procedures in relation to considering applications for funding, advising of the outcome of those considerations and where appropriate preparing contracts to provide an organisation or other persons with funding
  • Maintain records of how funding was utilised
  • Notify changes to our service

Our legal basis for using such personal information is that: (a) it may be necessary for the purpose of complying with legal and regulatory requirements for example in the case of a dispute; (b) for taking steps in relation to a contract awarding grant funding; and (c) where we have a legitimate interest in using the personal information. We will explain these legitimate interests in more detail at the time personal information is collected.

We may disclose personal information to selected third parties including:

  • Independent Assessors for the purpose of gathering further information on an application for a grant or the award of a grant
  • Our Accountants
  • Our Auditors
  • Where required to a relevant regulatory authority
  1. Where we store personal information:

Information obtained may be held by us and authorised third parties, as specified in Point 2 above. However, as we are the Data Controller of all information received and processed by us, all questions in relation to what information is held and how it is processed should be addressed to us.

We will hold personal information only for as long as is necessary and in accordance with our Archiving Policy.  Personal information will be kept securely to prevent unauthorised access by other people.

We can only be held responsible for the security of personal information once received by us, we cannot guarantee the safety of any correspondence sent by surface mail or email until we are in receipt of that correspondence. Thereafter we will use our security procedures to try to prevent unauthorised access.
