Privacy Policy
This privacy policy sets out how The Gillian Stevenson Charitable Trust CIO uses and protects any information that you give us.
As a grant-giving organisation, the Gillian Stevenson Charitable Trust CIO (GSCTCIO) has no need or interest in contacting those on its database outside of the grant application and grant monitoring processes, which only apply for the duration of that request or grant. Applicants are requested to provide GSCTCIO with their contact information when applying for a grant so that due diligence can be conducted by the Trustees of GSCTCIO during the grants panel consideration process. No-one other than GSCTCIO Trustees have access to this information and it will never be used for marketing purposes or sold to any external person or organisation. Applicants are encouraged to only provide contact and project details that are publicly available – e.g. on the charity’s website. Any records containing personal information made by GSCTCIO Trustees during the grant application and grant monitoring process are archived securely once the grant has come to an end.
GSCTCIO may change this policy from time to time by updating this page. You should check this page from time to time to ensure that you are happy with any changes. This policy is effective from November 2022.
