> What this site collects, what it deliberately does not publish, and what happens to a message you send.

## Privacy

No analytics, no cookies, no tracking — and one column of the source register that never gets through the door.

### What this site does not publish

The source register carries a `Locations` column. Most of the time
it holds a mining tenement code, but a few hundred rows hold a street address —
and roughly a quarter of permit holders are named in a way that shows no company
marker, which means some of them are individuals.

That column is dropped when the file is read, before anything reaches a
database. There is **no geography anywhere on this site**: not on a
page, not in the search index, not in the datasets we sell. Holder names are
published, because a public register of permits is about who holds them; where
they live is a different question, and nobody asked it.

### What your browser sends

No analytics, no advertising, no cookies, no third-party scripts. Static
files only.

**Your search never reaches a server.** It lives in the part of
the address after the `#`, which browsers do not transmit, and the
lookup runs in your browser against static index files. We cannot see what you
searched for, because it is not sent.

The host, Cloudflare Pages, keeps ordinary server logs — IP address, time,
file requested — as any host does. We have no per-visitor analytics.

### If you send us a message

Two forms collect an email address: a general enquiry, and a bulk access or
dataset enquiry. Both are handled by
 
Formspree , which forwards them to our mailbox.

- **Bulk access and dataset enquiries** — we reply, and keep the
exchange while the enquiry is live and for as long as we have a business
relationship.
- **General enquiries** — we reply, and **we pass the
enquiry to holders whose authority is in effect** so they can respond to
you. That is the point of the form. We do not sell lists, and we pass nothing
on if you tell us not to.

Ask us to delete what you sent and we will, at
[the contact address](/contact.md).

### If you hold an authority

Your authority is a public fact and we republish it as the department does,
minus the location column. If something here is wrong, write to us and we will
look at it the same week.
