      Sounds actually sensible to me

      Services data - GOV.UK

      Performance - Activity on GOV.UK
      Nope, this goes deeper than that, tracking individual transactions and matching them across services then using analytics to identify individuals. Not to name, address, inside leg measurement levels, but to say this person carried out all these transaction on Gov.uk services; so we now know they own a car, have a passport, a rough idea of where they live etc etc. Big data like this can be manipulated in a number of ways to produce useful information on the subject set. For varying definitions of useful.

      Given the individuals behind it their view of useful is probably not the same as most other people.
