Who is responsible
This website is run by the National Epidemiology Branch, Ministry of Health & Wellness, Jamaica. The Ministry is responsible for personal data collected through it under the Data Protection Act, 2020.
Browsing
The site sets no cookies, uses no analytics or advertising, and loads nothing from other servers.
The web server logs each request: IP address, page and time. Search terms are part of the page address, so they are logged too. Logs are used to keep the site running and secure.
Your browser stores two small items for this site, one for emoji support (WordPress) and a page count (Elementor). Neither is sent to us.
Data enquiries
The data enquiry form collects your name, email address and, if you give it, your organisation, with the figures you need and how you will use them.
Enquiries are emailed to the National Surveillance Unit and stored on the website. They are used only to answer your request and to record data released, and are not shared outside the Ministry unless the law requires it.
Disease reporting
Case reports are not collected through this website; see How to report a notifiable disease. Do not send patient details through the data enquiry form.
Your rights
Under the Data Protection Act, 2020, you can ask to see the personal data held about you, have it corrected, and object to its use. Email surveillance@moh.gov.jm.
You can also complain to the Office of the Information Commissioner.
