Information you submit

We want the information on this site to be open and as easy to re-use as possible. When you submit information to this site we will work on the basis, unless you clearly state otherwise alongside your work, that you are granting the Crown a non-exclusive, irrevocable right to use and pass on all public information that you submit (for example descriptions of your ideas and screenshots of your apps) as well as the right to allow the re-use of that information. This is so that we can place the contents of this site under the same permissive licence terms as above. Your ideas and applications remain your own.

If you submit postcode searches directly via this website, they are not used for any other purpose than to provide you with the relevant data. Please check the terms and conditions of the third party websites linked from data.gov.uk.  

The accuracy of information from any third party sites published on data.gov.uk is the responsibility of those sites.
