The data controller for this research project is Historic England – see Contact below. The data controller ‘determines the purposes and means of processing personal data’. The legal basis for this research is ‘public task’ – the processing is necessary for Historic England to perform a task in the public interest or for its official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
Taking part in this research is voluntary and you have the right to withdraw from the research at any time – see Your rights below.
How your data will be used
If your organisation/property received HSF monies to fund a repair, your contact details have been shared with us by Historic England. If your organisation worked on a repair that was funded by HSF, your contact details may have been provided by Historic England, the organisation/property whose repair you worked on, or the lead contractor on the repair project. Your contact details will only be used for the purpose of contacting you in relation to this research, and will only be accessible to those members of the research team who contact you directly.
Your organisation/property name will be used to match administrative data on HSF funding collated and shared with us by Historic England, with data we collect from you during the research. The purpose of this data matching is to ensure the evaluation provides a detailed and nuanced picture of how the process of distributing HSF funding and the impacts of repairs it funded might vary according to the nature and extent of the repair, and the type of property being repaired.
The research is confidential. This means that your organisation’s/property’s identity will only be known by Ortus Economic Research and Morris Hargreaves McIntyre for the purposes of this research. Historic England will not know you have taken part and will only receive aggregated data (which means your data will be mixed in with the views of many other organisations/properties) and research reports will only contain anonymous data (which means you and your organisation/property will not be named, nor identifiable from any of your answers).
How we keep your information safe

This includes encryption, password protection and limiting access to personal data to key staff only.
