LiveLead uses freely available government data to create a searchable system for the purposes of lead generation. The data we use is used under the “Open Government Licence” or “OGL”.
The OGL was developed as part of the UK Government Licensing Framework in 2010.
The OGL permits anyone to copy, publish, distribute, transmit and adapt the licensed work, and to exploit it both commercially and non-commercially.
Use of the OGL is encouraged by the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015, regulation 12 of which requires licences to be as non-restrictive as possible.
The OGL is used by organisations at various levels within the UK Government, including:

The Intellectual Property in terms of the data we use and provide access to is owned by the UK Government and used with its permission by virtue of the above.
Any personal data within the application documents is openly published by each authority and therefore in the public domain.
