We do not ask for sensitive information such as health details. If you choose to share any during coaching, we treat it in strict confidence and use it only to support your development.

3. How we use your information

We use your information only for the purposes below, and only where the law allows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We do not sell your information, and we do not use it for automated decision-making.

 

4. Who we share it with

• The Founding Partners and facilitators who deliver the Fellowship, under confidentiality obligations.

• Your sponsoring institution, if you are a Fellow. We share attendance and agreed progress information with your senior sponsor. We do not share the content of individual coaching or mentoring conversations without your agreement.

• Service providers who support us, such as website hosting (Wix), email, video conferencing and accounting. They may use your information only on our instructions.

• Professional advisers or authorities, where the law requires it.

Some providers, including Wix, may store information outside the UK. Where they do, we rely on the protections UK law requires, such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contract terms.

​
5. Confidentiality and information about others

The Fellowship works with real philanthropic opportunities, so Fellows may discuss philanthropists, donors and colleagues during mentoring, coaching and workshops.

• We ask Fellows to share only what they need, and to anonymise individuals wherever possible.

• We treat anything shared about third parties as strictly confidential. We use it only to support the Fellow's development, and we do not record it in more detail than necessary.

• The sponsoring institution remains responsible for its own donor and prospect information, in line with its own privacy notice.

• Experiential exercises use fictional scenarios, not real individuals.
