What information do we collect about you?
We collect your name and email address when you subscribe to our enewsletter and/or to a Clwstwr event. When you apply to participate in Clwstwr funding calls, we collect the data you provide for your Expression of Interest and subsequent Fullscale Application forms for our records, reporting to UK Government and academic research at Cardiff University, University of South Wales and Cardiff Metropolitan University. This information is not published online.
Your personal data will be held in a customer relationship management (CRM) system. Our current CRM system provider is Hubspot. You can read their Privacy Notice at: https://legal.hubspot.com/product-privacy-policy.
How will your information be used?
Your contact details will be used to email a regular enewsletter promoting Clwstwr Creadigol events and funding calls. Information supplied through an expression of interest and application forms will be used to inform funding decisions and evaluate and report on the Clwstwr programme.
What is our legal basis for processing your personal data?
The data subject has given consent to the processing by signing up to a Clwstwr enewsletter (hosted on Mailchimp) and/or Clwstwr event (on Eventbrite). Legislation gives individuals a specific right to withdraw consent and you have the right to withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing from the enewsletter or contacting us regarding your data.
As Clwstwr is a Research & Development (R&D) partnership between higher education and creative industries, any personal data supplied on expression of interest forms and application forms will be processed as part of a research project in the public interest. It may also be processed in order to enter into a contract with companies who apply for funding from the project.
Who receives your information?

UKRI has a statutory obligation to arrange studies of the programmes to which they provide financial support. In turn, as recipients of that support, we have a legal obligation to provide the organisations carrying out the studies with the information they require for that purpose e.g. the evaluation of the Creative Industries Clusters Programme. We are also required, under the GDPR, to provide you with information about how we use the personal data that you share with us during the course of the programme and update this information if any additional uses become necessary.
You should already have received information about how we use your data. Please note that in addition to the uses already communicated to you, we will be sharing your name, employer name, address, email address, telephone number and Companies House Reference Number with: Frontier Economics and BOP Consulting (the organisations leading the evaluation of the CICP on behalf of AHRC/UKRI) and Strategic Research & Insight (SRI) (the organisation conducting the survey element of the study). We will also be sharing either your name (if you are a sole trader) or the name of your employer / company, as well as the web address for your business with Curator (the organisation conducting the cluster case study data analysis element of the study). This information is being shared for the purpose to ‘improve the economy, efficiency and effectiveness’ of the programme.
