GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation came into force in May 2018 and requires organisations to state their policies regarding the protection of personal data. The Charles Wallace India Trust (CWIT) holds the personal data of all applicants seeking grants eg their names, addresses, telephone numbers and next of kin.
Scholarships
CWIT shares this personal data with the British Council which manages the application process for the Scholarships or long-term grants. You can read the Privacy policy of the British Council here. We also hold UK bank account details for scholarship awardees to whom we arrange to pay monthly living grants. These are shared only with our bankers when we issue instructions to set up Standing Orders, and not with the British Council.
