Privacy policy

Last updated 19 August 2026

This notice explains the limited technical data involved when you use Service Charge Guide.

Controller and contact

Dan Williams, operating Service Charge Guide, is the data controller. For privacy questions or rights requests, email [email protected].

Data and purposes

The site has no accounts, contact forms or uploads and does not retain case documents. Cloudflare processes limited technical request and security data, which may include an IP address, browser and device information, requested page, time and security events.

This processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of providing, securing and improving the site. Those interests are balanced against the site’s minimal-data design. There is no automated decision-making.

Analytics and cookies

Cloudflare Web Analytics measures aggregate page visits and performance. Cloudflare states that it does not collect or use visitors’ personal data, use cookies or local storage, fingerprint visitors, or track them across sites. Analytics does not log query strings, so the finder’s current step is excluded.

The site does not use advertising cookies. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary security cookies when required to protect the service. Blocking the analytics beacon does not affect access to the guide.

Sharing, retention and transfers

Technical data is shared only with Cloudflare for hosting, security and analytics, or where disclosure is required by law. Cloudflare retains unsampled Web Analytics beacon data for seven days and provides analytics reporting for the previous six months. Other technical records are kept only as long as needed for delivery, security and legal obligations.

Cloudflare operates internationally and describes its transfer safeguards in its Data Processing Addendum and Privacy Policy. Official links you open are controlled by their respective services.

Your rights

Where data-protection law applies, you may ask for access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability or object to processing. Some rights depend on the circumstances. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office or, where applicable, your local European data-protection authority.
