The information we collect
We will only collect personal information from you where we have a legitimate reason to do so and/or you give your explicit consent. When you register on our website, we only collect your name and email address. When you apply for a grant for your organisation from us, we will collect personal data so that we can contact you about your organisation’s application, assess the application, contact you about any grant we can or can’t make and about any monitoring of the grant. We will also seek consent to hold personal data to contact you occasionally with news, invitations and for your views on our funding programmes.
We intend to hold the minimum amount of personal data in order to process your grant application. If you give any personal data in your application about someone other than the main contact in the example (for example, the name of a project manager), we will ensure that data is kept confidential in accordance with our privacy policy, but it is your responsibility to ensure your organisation has its own consent for its inclusion in the application.
How we collect and store the information and its security
We receive registrations and grant applications via online forms built using software called Benefactor owned by Gallery Partnership Limited. Benefactor is hosted by Gallery Partnership on cloud-based Microsoft Azure servers.

Data stored in Azure is encrypted at rest using Microsoft’s Bitlocker. Benefactor Online applications are securely hosted with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the EU. AWS holds four ISO certifications. Data stored in AWS is encrypted at rest using AES256 security cyphers.

All personal data is securely stored on Benefactor, and Gallery Partnership gives its assurance that it will never view, access, sell, or distribute personal data held on Benefactor to a third party, unless it is required to do so by law.
