NatureScot promotes, cares for and improves Scotland's natural heritage. We enable a greater awareness of nature and help people to enjoy nature responsibly.
NatureScot provides funding to organisations undertaking natural heritage projects which will deliver outcomes that help us meet our objectives. In order to provide this service NatureScot has to process personal data. This means that NatureScot is the data controller.
It's sometimes necessary to share this personal data with others. This is usually when your application or claim is being assessed. In these circumstances we might share your data with:
We must process your personal data so we can assess funding applications and award funding and as a result we are processing your data for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
This means you have the right to:
- we are using incorrect information;
- our use of your data is unlawful and you want us to restrict its use rather than delete it;
- NatureScot doesn't need your information any more but you need it for legal action;
- you have the right to object to information being used, and you are using that right.
You can find out a bit more about your rights in NatureScot's privacy notice on our website.
The UK Information Commissioner also has more information about your rights on their website.
To make a request please write to the Data Protection Officer giving us your name and contact details and a description of the data you want to see. We will respond as soon as we can and by 30 days after your request at the latest. We might ask you to provide some form of identification so we don't give data about you to the wrong person by mistake.
This means we will delete your personal data once we've finished the task we collected it for and any related audit or review period has passed. View NatureScot's main Privacy Notices.
