Privacy Policy

DAP’s privacy policies are based on respect for international standards and comparative best practice of information privacy protection.

Information concerning usage of DAP

DAP collects information which identifies, for each page accessed on DAP, the network identity of the machine which has accessed it. DAP retains this usage information for purposes of network analysis, usage analysis, and research into usage patterns for the purpose of improving DAP services. Access to and use of this information is restricted to DAP management and staff, and to researchers working on DAP projects and subject to an agreement to adhere to this Privacy Policy.

DAP does not disclose or publish information which identifies individual machines, or potentially identifying sub-groupings of addresses, without consent. DAP does publish aggregated information about usage patterns.

DAP reserves the right to gather more extensive information that stated above (i) about any attempted access to DAP which raise security issues (and, where necessary, to make disclosures to relevant authorities); and (ii) for network analyses on an occasional basis.

Personal information contained in DAP databases

DAP databases are purposive for enabling the public to use them as legal precedents on points of law, practices and procedure of the Courts and of public interest. Some DAP databases contain personal information, including the decisions of Courts and Tribunals. The personal information is indeed available on the publicly available databases of relevant public bodies. It is the responsibility of the public bodies to determine, subject to international standards and the requirements of the laws under which they operate, the appropriate balance between the privacy interests of individuals and the public interests in dissemination of the information. In particular, if personal data is to be anonymised before publication, this is done by the public body concerned. DAP does not and cannot censor part or all of the information that comes originally from publicly available databases of relevant public bodies.

DAP does not give a general consent to the contents of these databases being indexed by other web sites. DAP makes an exception to this general rule in some cases to allow other law web sites to index selected DAP databases.

DAP also monitors whether any robots attempt to index these databases in disregard of the Robots Exclusion Standard, and takes steps to exclude any that do so from any access to DAP.

DAP reserves the right to exclude access to its databases by users or sites that are in apparent breach of any such legal requirements.
