Privacy Policy

Information collected automatically

This website does not automatically capture any specific personal information from you (such as name, phone number or email address) that allows us to identify you individually. When you visit the website, the web server records technical details for statistical and security purposes, such as:

• the Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer or device;
• the type of browser and operating system used;
• the date and time of the visit, and the pages visited.

We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting the site, unless an attempt to damage the website has been detected, or unless required by law.

Information you provide

If you choose to send us your Feedback, the form asks for your name, email address, telephone number, designation, organisation, city and comments. This information is used only to consider and respond to your feedback. It is not sold, shared or disclosed to any third party, except where required by law.

Departmental officers who sign in to the website provide a username and password. Passwords are not shown to anyone and are used only to sign in.

Cookies

A cookie is a small piece of data that a website sends to your browser. This website uses only a session cookie, which is needed for the website to work (for example, to keep the security code of a form, or to keep an officer signed in). It does not contain personal information, and it is deleted when you close your browser. No cookie is used to track you across other websites.

Third-party services

Some pages use services provided by other organisations to display fonts, icons or translation (for example, Google Fonts, Google Translate and a public content delivery network). When such a page loads, your browser connects to these services, which may record technical information such as your IP address under their own privacy policies.

Security

Reasonable technical and administrative safeguards are used to protect the information held on this website from unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure. See the Security Policy.

Links to other websites

This website contains links to other websites. The Directorate is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. See the Hyperlinking Policy.
