Information about how your data will be handled
Devon Wildlife Trust will hold your personal details on our secure database. These details will only be shared with organisations and individuals that are directly involved with project (e.g. funders, partners and contractors) on the basis that a suitable data sharing agreement has been signed.
We only share data with our research and funding partners to meet our contractual obligations and to demonstrate the work delivered with their funding and only with strict measures in place to protect your privacy.
The relevant details we hold include name, address, contact details, farm boundary, habitat area advice, and interventions undertaken with the assistance of DWT advisers. These are used for monitoring and reporting purposes. We do create maps & mapping layers to track our engagement, influence, and for modelling where interventions could be targeted, but this data is held securely and, when shared, will be done is in a way that does not compromise farmer anonymity, data protection or project partners.
We will use these details to keep in touch with you about NDNS, future projects that we believe are relevant and to stay in touch about the wider work of the Devon Wildlife Trust.
Regarding Upstream Thinking project landowners only:
Data and outputs collected will be used for specific purposes of modelling and understanding Upstream Thinking impacts and for future South West Water business planning. In the future the Exeter University team will use anonymised, aggregated data within reports and scientific papers.
More information about our land advisory projects
Upstream Thinking is a partnership project run on the Exe, Otter, Tamar & Roadford, Tavy, Dart, and Yeo & Wistlandpound river catchments and by Devon Wildlife Trust, Westcountry Rivers Trust, University of Exeter, FWAG and South West Water to improve water quality and quantity above drinking water abstraction points through land management. We are working alongside farmers and land managers, providing advice and assistance to make improvements to water quality and biodiversity. This will be done through advice, workshops, our capital grant scheme, countryside stewardship and where appropriate with volunteer help.
The Northern Devon Natural Solutions (NDNS) project works with farmers and landowners to improve water quality in our watercourses, increase biodiversity across the landscape, mitigate flood risk and sequester carbon into our soils. This is delivered through 1:1 advice, peer to peer learning with farmers, as well as with capital interventions funded through government schemes, such as Countryside Stewardship, other sources as and when they become available, and finally a small NDNS capital grants pot. The project focuses on 50 waterbodies within the Torridge and Taw catchments.
The Avon Valley Project supports landowners in South Devon to restore wildflower-rich grasslands, improve woodlands for wildlife and monitor water quality. As well as working along the river Avon, we also work with landowners in the neighbouring catchments, such as Gara, Kingsbridge & Salcombe and Erme/Yealm.
