General Privacy Notice
Under data protection legislation, The Christchurch Charitable Trust (referred to by the use of “we” or “us” in this notice) seeks to explain to anyone (referred to as “you” in this notice) from whom we collect personal information for any purpose: (a) your rights in respect of the information which we collect, and (b) our obligations for handling and safeguarding that information.
The information we need in order to be able to assess your application will be collected from you and from other sources which are publicly available and will be limited to the information we need to do carry out the assessment. Any additional personal information which you provide may be included at your request. Any information which comes into our possession from any other source will not be used unless you confirm that we may keep or use it.
Except where we may be obliged to do so by law, you may be assured that your information will not be shared with, exchanged with, passed on to or sold to any other organisation unless you have asked us to do so or you have given express permission to us to do so. In the case of your application being made jointly to other organisations, then we reserve the right to contact that other organisation to establish whether they will or will not be providing support. In the case of your application being successful and a grant being made, we reserve the right to announce the making of the grant unless you have specifically asked us not to (as indicated in our terms attached to the application).
All information collected will be held securely, retained for as long as it is needed to continue to provide services, or as long as the information is required for accounting or tax purposes, and will be disposed of securely when no longer required.
You have the right to know what information we hold about you, to have inaccuracies in it corrected and to request deletion, although you should note that requesting deletion may result in our being unable to continue to provide any of the services for which that information has been collected.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office if you believe that we have not carried out our obligations satisfactorily. They can be contacted at www.ico.org.uk, or you can call their helpline on 0303 123 1113.
