The information will include details such as your name, address, contact details, financial information and details of any family members providing an income to your household.
Why we need this information?
Your information is being collected to allow the Trustees appointed by ߣsirÊÓƵ and Bute Council to make decisions on the distribution of funds, and the information sought is required to allow them to consider your application.
We need to know this basic personal data in order to measure your application against the distribution guidance and grant criteria, thus allowing trustees to make an informed decision on your application. If you do not provide this information then we will be unable to provide those services to you. We will not collect any personal data from you that isn’t needed for delivery of those services.
The lawful basis for collecting your information in these circumstances is:
Public task: The processing of personal information is necessary for the exercise of official authority vested in the controller, ߣsirÊÓƵ and Bute Council, in terms of the bequest made the Lamont Family, Kilfinan’
What we will do with your information?
From the point of your application being made we will retain the information provided on your application form, making this available to the appointed trustees of the Lamont Bequest. We will use your information to contact you about the outcome of your application and to make payment of any grant awarded. As part of the assessment process we will also consult with ߣsirÊÓƵ and Bute Council staff in Customer and Support ߣsirÊÓƵ to allow us to verify the information which has been provided on the application form. We will also share your information with colleagues in Finance to allow them to process the award.
You should be aware that your data will be stored on servers located within the United Kingdom. We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your data is kept secure and more information on how we do this can be provided by contacting the Data Protection Officer (contact details can be found above).
How long will we keep your information?
We will keep your information until all awards are issued to successful applicants, after which it will be destroyed under secure arrangements. If required, more information on our retention policy can be obtained from the Data Protection Officer (contact details can be found above).
