Privacy policy

Who we are

For the purpose of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 the Data Controller is The Tudor Trust, 7 Ladbroke Grove, London, W11 3BD. If you have any questions about this privacy statement you can contact us at datacontroller@tudortrust.org.uk

The Tudor Trust will review and may update this statement from time to time. You should check this page periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes.

Why we collect personal information

We collect personal information from you for the purpose of assessing a grant application, and to enable us to support and monitor a grant once it has been made. Tudor’s approach to funding is built on the foundation of strong relationships, so we also keep personal information in the longer term so that we have a clear record of our interaction with your organisation. This helps us to understand the way in which our relationship with your organisation has developed over the years.

In making an application to The Tudor Trust you are responsible for proving, when required, that you have the necessary agreement and permission of any individuals identified in the application to pass their information to The Tudor Trust. This includes permission to use any photographs included in the application or in grant reports as part of the grant monitoring process.

In making an application to The Tudor Trust and accepting any grant made you give us permission to process your personal information; however you can withdraw your consent at any time by writing to us.

How we process your information

We will use the personal information you provide only for the purposes of assessing a grant application, and managing or monitoring any grant made. Tudor may also process personal data for the purpose of promoting and organising meetings and events related to its grant making activities.

We do not make decisions about grant applications using automated processes.

Your personal information will not be shared with third parties unless it is required by law, for example, for the detection or prevention of crime.

We will not keep personal information for longer than necessary and will destroy information securely according to our data retention policy. Information provided through grant applications and grant monitoring reports may be retained for up to 8 years after our last date of contact with the organisation.
