Website privacy policy

Oldham residents who browse the Greater Manchester Integrated Care website are now told exactly what data is taken and why. A new privacy notice, posted on Monday, lists every click, form and cookie the site records while you read about local health services.

It also logs whether you open the newsletter and which stories you click, so staff can judge what matters to people in the borough.

Commenting on an article, answering a survey or using the 'have your say' form hands over the same contact details. The data sits on secure servers and is seen only by the small communications team that runs the Oldham-facing pages.

Cookies track which pages are popular and how visitors arrive, whether from Google or a Facebook post shared by a local group. The site does not try to match those crumbs to a named resident and the data is never sold or passed to advertisers.

If the policy changes again, the partnership promises to flag the update on the site and email everyone on the Oldham list.
