Who are we?

Data Cymru is a Welsh local government company, and we offer lots of different services that help people find and use data effectively.

Where is my data stored? Who can see it?

The data you upload to the tools is stored in a server. (A server, in this case, is a large computer that stores lots of information).

Data Cymru does have access to what you upload but we do not plan to check this data, at any time. It will only be used to make this website work!

How long do you keep my data?

What you upload is kept on a server for 60 days, after which it is automatically deleted.

What is personal data?

Personal data is information about you. For example, your name, date of birth, email address or your telephone number.

It’s usually safer if you don’t give out any personal data unless you really need to – and for these exercises there is no reason for you to upload personal data.

Do you track my use of DataBasic?

To help us understand how many people are using DataBasic, we count how many visitors we get. We gather information about your visits to the site to help us improve your experience, but don't gather information that could be used to identify you.

Like most websites, we use small files called 'cookies' to help us with this.

What if I don't want that?

If you decide that you don't want us to count your visits to DataBasic, you can stop it by turning off 'Analytics' cookies in the cookies menu at the bottom left corner of any page.

Can I find out more?

Of course, you can email enquiries@data.cymru to ask any questions.
