inspire* Accelerator Foundation (“We”) are committed to protecting and respecting your privacy.

​

This policy (together with our terms of use, cookie policy and any other documents referred to on it) sets out the basis on which any personal data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.

​

The General Data Protection Regulation ((EU) 2016/679) (GDPR), effective on 25 May 2018, gives data subjects (living individuals in respect of whom personal data is processed) enhanced rights and protections in relation to their personal data.  We are committed to safeguarding the privacy of the users of our services.  Therefore, we have updated our Privacy Policy so we are completely clear as to what personal data we collect, why we collect that personal data and how we handle it.  We, Inspire Accelerator Foundation of 53 King Street, Manchester M2 4LQ are the Data Controller (as that term is defined in data protection legislation).

​

Please read the privacy policy carefully. By visiting our website (www.thegunnercookefoundation.com) you are accepting and consenting to the practices described in this policy.

​

3.2 We may need to share your personal information with certain selected third parties including:

 

(a) our business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the purpose of performing any contract we have with you or them.  In particular, we use third party companies to process your personal data in order: (1) to provide our case management system for us, (2) to carry out our identity and credit verification checks, to provide: (3) legal support services (including the processing of information by the courts service and barristers), (4) confidential information destruction and deletion services; (5) data storage services; (6) communication facilities; (7) document production services; (8) event support and management services; (9) public relations services; (10) banking services; (11) to manage legal filings and registrations; (12) legal search services; (13) conferencing facilities and call answering facilities; and (14) any other services which we deem are necessary to properly manage our business and comply with our legal and regulatory obligations.

​

This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.

​

4. Where do we store your personal data?

​

We will always try to ensure that your personal data is processed within the European Economic Area.  In some circumstances this will not be possible.  In circumstances where it is necessary for us to transfer your personal outside the European Economic Area, we will only transfer such personal data to third parties where we have carried out due diligence on such third parties to ensure they will protect your personal data using similar standards and safeguards as we have.  We will also have contractual provisions in place with such third parties to ensure your personal data is protected.  Such contractual provisions will be based on the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for the transfer of data outside the EEA or such other appropriate standards as are required from time to time by the European Commission or the UK Government.  You consent to the transfer of your personal data outside of the EEA, as long as we comply with these requirements.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not always secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, and we will maintain appropriate technical and organisation measures to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our website; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

​

5. Storage and deletion of personal data

​

(a) Any personal data that we process will be deleted from our systems once we have completed the purpose for which we were processing the personal data. In some cases, the purpose for which we are processing your personal data will last for a considerable period (for example, if you are a long term client of ours, we will need to store your data until our relationship with you comes to an end).

​

(b) We will determine the period for which we need to retain your data, acting reasonably, and taking into consideration a number of factors such as your relationship with us, your engagement with us, and the fulfilment of contracts we have with you.

​

(c) We may need to retain your personal data where this is necessary to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, or to protect the vital interest or the vital interests of another natural person.

​

6. Data security

​

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal data to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

​

We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.

​

7. Your rights

​

7.1 Under data protection laws you have the following fundamental rights:

7.2 You can ask us to provide you with details of any personal data we hold about you.  You do not have to pay us a fee to access your personal data unless we believe your access request is unfounded, repetitive or excessive.  In this case we may charge you a reasonable fee to access your personal data or we may decide not to comply with your request.  We will notify you if this is the case. We will require you to provide appropriate evidence of your identity before we respond to your request. Typically this identification evidence will be a photocopy of your passport or photo driving licence, which a solicitor or bank has certified as being a true copy of the original and a copy of a recent utility bill detailing your current address.
