What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Contact forms

When visitors complete a contact form on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. We will store the information you provide us with to respond to your query. We will erase the data we collected on this basis when it is no longer required.

Grant application form

If you apply for a grant through our website, we collect the data we need for the application process. This data corresponds to the entry fields on the application form. Additionally, we also collect your IP address and browser agent string to help with spam detection. We will store the information provided during and after the grant review process until it is no longer required.

If you have an account and you log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
