Privacy Policy

The Trust’s data controller is a trustee, Robert Cunningham, who can be contacted through the Secretary to the Trustees at secretary@gmctf.org. We collect information from you and the referees that you nominate in order to decide whether we are able to offer you a grant towards your studies. We consider this to be a legitimate interest under data privacy law. We do not collect information about you from any other source. The information you provide is needed so that we can judge whether to award you a grant and is shared only with the trustees and members of the committee. It is never shared with anyone else. Your data will be deleted immediately after each trustee meeting. If you are successful in being awarded a grant, we will ask for bank details from you. We will only hold these as long as we are paying you a grant.

If you are unhappy with the way we use your personal data, you can withdraw from the grant award process at any time and we will delete your data. You can also contact the Information Commission at ico.org.uk.
