What information do we collect?
When you use the NFRC Charitable Trust’s services and visit the website, we may need to collect your personal information. We will not collect personal information beyond what is necessary but are legally required to hold some types of information to achieve our objectives.
During the grant application process, the NFRC Charitable Trust will ask for your explicit consent to hold your personal information, so that we may assess, in the strictest confidence, your eligibility for financial assistance. This information includes contact data, information relating to your (or your deceased family member’s) employment, and any sensitive information that you may voluntarily provide, as part of your description of your circumstances.
Sensitive data might include your racial or ethnic origin, marital status or sexual orientation. Should you provide any additional sensitive data voluntarily, you acknowledge that you give us consent to hold it. Sensitive data is only stored when we have received your express authority to do so and we are unable to process a grant application which would require us to store sensitive data unless you sign the necessary consent form.
Information may also be supplied about you from your (or your deceased family member’s) employer, or connected agents, for the purposes of verification of eligibility as a beneficiary.
How is your information used?
We may use your information to:
- Assess and process a grant application
- Make a grant payment
- Send you information relevant to your grant
You may withdraw your consent at any time during the application process. Once your application has been assessed, your data will be held for six years, for accounting and assessment purposes.
Who will the information be shared with?
The NFRC Charitable Trust will only share information with the trustees, their agents and your (or your deceased family member’s) employer in order to assess a grant application, with your consent. We will not exchange information with any other organisation or individual unless we have a legal obligation to do so.
Data security and integrity
We take all reasonable measures to ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate and we take appropriate measures to safeguard it from unauthorised access or improper use. The information will be stored in a secure, password protected file or locked folder. Only users authorised by the NFRC Charitable Trust will have access to this data.
Electronic data and paper records will be held for six years and then destroyed. The consent forms agreeing to the storing of your personal information and any records required to be stored for longer to meet statutory requirements.
Right to restrict your data
You may request that we cease processing the personal information we hold about you. If you make such a request, the NFRC Charitable Trust shall retain only the amount of personal information concerning you (if any) that is necessary to ensure that the personal information in question is not processed further.
Right to access your data
You have the right to access your personal data and supplementary information. If you want to access the information that we hold about you, please contact us at 31 Worship Street, London, EC2A 2DY.
