We're committed to protecting your personal data and ensuring it is processed fairly and lawfully. Information you provide to us will be processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation and subsequent legislation.
Purpose of processing
To support your small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) we may use your information to:
- check eligibility for support from the project
- register your business for support for the project
- carry out energy/resource data analysis and research for audit reports and/or grant applications
- process applications for Green Entrepreneurs grant funding
- send you communications that you have requested
- check information you have provided, or information about you that someone else has provided, with other information we hold
- obtain information about you from third parties, or give information to them to check the accuracy of the information, prevent or detect fraud or protect public funds
The third parties include government departments, other local authorities and private sector companies, as allowed by law.
The data we hold may include personal information such as:
- your name
- contact details
- financial information
- age
It may also include special categories of data such as your ethnicity, disability status, gender.
The legal bases for when we may use your personal data are if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject to or a task we must do or are empowered to do in the public interest. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
As part of the initial contact form you will be asked to confirm that you accept the uses of your personal data, as outlined here, and restated on the application form for funding. Although the word 'Consent' is used on the application form, this is not a reference to a lawful basis to use your data.
If we use special categories of data, it will be because it is necessary for the conditions relating to substantial public interest.
Definitions of legal bases and conditions for using special categories of data can be found on the Information Commissioner's website.
