Privacy
We are committed to respecting and protecting your privacy.
The purpose of this privacy statement is to inform you about the type of information that we gather about you when you visit our Site, how we may use that information and whether we give it to anyone.

What personally identifiable information is collected on this site?
Visitors may supply personally identifiable information (such as name, address or telephone numbers) when enquiring about The Bridge Educational Trust.
The Bridge Educational Trust does not collect personal information from you unless you provide it to us. This means that you can visit our site without telling us who you are or revealing any personally identifiable information about yourself.
How is it used?
When you supply information about yourself for a specific purpose (registering, asking for advice, making an enquiry), we use that information for that purpose only. If an application is submitted the information will be circulated to the Trustees in order that they can assess the merits of the application for the purpose of determining whether a grant is appropriate. Specific personal information contained in an application form will be retained for a period of 3 years in accordance with the Trust’s retention of records policy. More general information (applicant’s name, grant details) will be held indefinitely within the Trust minutes and IT records.
From time to time we may also use your information to contact you for market research or to provide you with information we think would be of interest.
Changes of use of data
Should any material changes be made to the ways in which we use personally identifiable information, we’ll take commercially reasonable measures to obtain e-mail consent from you. We will also post the changes to our use of personally identifiable information on our site at least 30 days prior to a change.
Security
We have taken various steps to put in place security measures to protect this Site from loss, misuse and alteration of information. Our security measures meet or exceed all industry standards for the protection of personally identifiable information.
