Privacy policy

This privacy policy explains how NHS England uses information when you visit the Digital Prevention Services Portfolio (DPSP) website.

Information we collect

When you visit this website, we collect your IP address, user agent, page URL and title, referring page, language and screen information. A user agent is information sent by your browser when you access the website.

We use this information to understand how the website is being used and to improve it. We do not use it to identify you directly.

How we store information

We use your IP address and user agent to create a pseudonymous identifier for analytics. Pseudonymised information is still personal data under data protection law.

We keep this identifier for up to 2 months, after which it is deleted. We keep the other analytics data, excluding your IP address, for up to 2 years. Once the identifier is deleted, the remaining data is anonymised.

We have obligations under the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. Our lawful basis for processing this information is public task. This means we process it because it is necessary for us to carry out a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority.

Your rights

You have rights over your personal information, including the right to ask for a copy of it, to have inaccurate information corrected and, in some circumstances, to ask for it to be deleted or for its use to be restricted.
