Data Protection Notice
1. Who we are
We are The Pye Charitable Settlement (“the Settlement”), established in 1965. We are a registered charity (Registered Charity Number: 242677).
Our Vision Statement is to establish the Settlement as a major independent source of funding for charitable causes in Oxfordshire with the result that the Pye name continues to be associated with benevolence within the County.
In making grants the Trustees seek to continue the Settlors’ interests while expanding them to encompass other causes. Although the Trustees have a wide discretion they mainly entertain applications from causes in, or relating to, projects in Oxfordshire.
We promise:-
• To do our best to keep your data safe.
• Never to supply your data to third parties, except as follows.
• To give you ways to control the use of your data whenever we can.
