Like most website operators, the Ministry collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Our purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how visitors use our blog. From time to time, the Ministry may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of our blog.

The only direct contact option* on this blog is the Guest Blogger option. That initial contact only records your submitted name and email. Future correspondece is not itself recorded. If a guest blog is posted, more is retained. Details on that is below.

* If you wish to contact the Ministry about others matters, please visit the main website. There is also a link to this contact form at the bottom of this page.

When you contact us intending to post a guest blog, we will record your submitted name and email address. In the course of your correspondence with staff, we will request more inofrmation. This information will be used to maintain a relationship with you, and to include in your guest blog posting.

Common bits of information requested include a profle photo, your social media links, a link to your blog, and any other things that will help users identify you as the author of the guest posting. This information is made public in your blog posting. We will not post publically anything if requsted.

Once your post is live, you may at any time request that we remove it entirely, or remove other supplied pieces of identifiable information. Such arrangements may be made via our exisiting correspondence.
