Written Question
Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Palantir
Tuesday 6th December 2022

Asked by: Baroness Brinton (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the “purposes” currently active in the “Purpose-Based Access Control” feature in Palantir’s Foundry software in use in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities.

Answered by Baroness Scott of Bybrook - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities)

Being assigned a 'purpose' (now known as a 'project') gives a Foundry user access to different data on Homes for Ukraine, depending on their role. For privacy and security reasons, the access rights for users is carefully controlled. Foundry does not hold data not related to Homes for Ukraine and is not used for any other purpose.
