Your personal information will not be shared with third parties unless it is required by law, for example, for the detection or prevention of crime.

3. JUSTIFICATION

  • as necessary for the performance of tasks carried out in the public interest, in this case the disbursement of funds to a variety of charitable organisations who meet TCCT’s charitable objects;

    purposes of fraud prevention and reducing credit risk); and

8. YOUR RIGHTS

You may instruct us to provide you with any personal information we hold about you. Provision of such information will be subject to the supply of appropriate evidence of your identity.

In some circumstances you may also have the right to:

  • request that we erase any personal data held about you;

  • restrict our processing of your personal data (for example to ask to suspend the processing of personal

    information to establish its accuracy or the reasons for processing it);

  • data portability (i.e. to request the transfer of personal data to a third party); and

  • object to our processing of your personal data.

    Requests in respect of the above should be made in writing to The Canbrick Charitable Trust, Globe House, Maidstone, Kent ME14 3EN. Please contact us at the same address if you have any reason to believe that information we hold about you is inaccurate. We will aim to respond to your request within one month from the date of receiving the request. Please note that we may, where legally permitted, reject any such request or limit the scope of our response (for example if, in the circumstances, the right does not apply to you).

    You will not generally have to pay a fee to exercise any of your rights described above. However, we may charge a reasonable fee if you make a request to see a copy of your personal information which is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in such circumstances. We may also charge a reasonable fee if you request further copies of the data following a request. The fee will be based on the administrative costs of providing further copies.

    If you have concerns about how we use your data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
