Privacy and data

Information on this page explains the NHS Safeguarding apps privacy policy and data usage.

This privacy statement only covers the website app version (www.nhssafeguarding.app). It does not cover all sites that can be linked to from this site, so you should always be aware when you are moving to another site and read the privacy statement on that site.

What information do we collect?
The NHS Safeguarding app collects anonymous statistics indicating visits and content usage. No personal information is required or requested to access the services and content in the app.

Use of cookies
Where services are delivered on the internet, this sometimes involves placing small amounts of information on your device, for example, computer or mobile phone. These include small files known as cookies.

These cookies collect information about how you use the website, which pages you visited and which links you clicked on. All of the data is anonymised and cannot be used to identify you.

Changes to our policy
If our privacy policy changes in any way, we will place an updated version on this page. Regularly reviewing the page ensures you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we will share it with other parties.
