Privacy

There's no sign-in or account system for visitors, and simply browsing and reading the site — every question, answer, verdict, search, and listing page — asks for no personal information and sets no cookies. Like most websites, the hosting infrastructure may generate standard technical server logs (e.g. IP address, page requested) purely for operating and securing the service; nothing beyond that is collected or kept about visitors who are just browsing.

What we collect, and why

If you submit the contact form, or leave feedback on a question's grading, we store the message you write, and the email address you give us if you choose to leave one — it's optional, and only used if we follow up with you. We use this only to look into whatever you've raised (a grading you think is wrong, a bug, a comment); we don't use it for marketing, and we don't sell or share it with anyone else, except as described below.

Submitting either form requires accepting a cookie prompt first, which then loads Google reCAPTCHA to block spam — this sends some information (such as your IP address) to Google. See Cookies for exactly what that involves and how to avoid it (simply don't accept the prompt; you just won't be able to submit the form).

How long we keep it, and your rights

We keep submitted messages and email addresses only for as long as it takes to review and act on them. There's no automatic deletion schedule yet — this is honest about where things stand during the current alpha-testing phase — but you can ask us to delete your message or email address at any time via Contact, and we will. You're also welcome to ask what we hold about you, or to correct it.

About the published content

The content published here — questions, answers, and the names of the MPs and ministers involved — is all drawn from the UK Parliament's own public record (see Data sources). It concerns those individuals only in their public parliamentary capacity, not as private individuals.

Questions or concerns

If you get in touch via Contact, we'll use whatever you send only to look into what you've raised. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can also complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
