Privacy & data protection
How this website — and the programmes themselves — treat your information. Briefly: this site does not track you, and programme data is protected by the Act itself.
This website does not track you
Most websites quietly load advertising and analytics from third parties. This one does not. It is built to the standard a government service should meet:
- No cookies. The public website sets none — no consent banner is needed because there is nothing to consent to.
- No trackers, no analytics, no advertising. Nothing about your visit is profiled or sold.
- No third-party requests. Fonts, images and code are served from this website itself — your visit is not disclosed to font or script networks.
- Minimal hosting logs. Standard, short-lived technical logs kept by the host for security and reliability — nothing more.
Programme data is protected by the Act
When the programmes open, applicants’ information will be handled under the Bill’s common regulatory framework (Part 3): a statutory data-protection and confidentiality regime with lawful-disclosure rules, cybersecurity and record-keeping standards, and independent audit. Those duties sit in primary legislation — not in a policy that can quietly change.
If you register interest by email, your details are used only to notify you about the programmes, and are handled under the same framework. They are never sold or shared for marketing.
