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.

Secure government records chamber visual for privacy and statutory data protection
Data protection as statutory dutyWebsite privacy, applicant records and lawful disclosure rules sit inside a controlled public-sector information environment.
Public website privacy

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.
Statutory data custody

Data protection is part of the operating architecture.

The Bureau is designed around a clear custody chain: public website privacy, interest notifications, applicant records and lawful disclosure controls are separated by purpose, law and auditability.

Controlled information environmentPublic website privacy, notification records, applicant files and lawful disclosure duties are treated as separate layers of public-sector trust.
01

Public website

No advertising trackers, no analytics profiling, no third-party font or script disclosure.

02

Interest notices

Contact details are used only for official opening notices and programme updates.

03

Applicant records

When the programmes open, applicant information sits inside statutory confidentiality and record-keeping duties.

04

Lawful disclosure

Disclosure is governed by law, cybersecurity obligations, audit and public-sector accountability.

Statutory protection

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.
