Privacy and safety
Keep the research public. Keep private people protected.
This page explains what the website does and does not ask from you. It is an information site, not a forum, case-upload portal, user-review platform, search engine, advice service, or evidence inbox.
What you can expect
The site is deliberately low-collection and low-interaction.
The public pages do not ask visitors to create accounts, upload evidence, post comments, leave reviews, send private case files, or message other users. That matters because privacy, evidence safety, defamation, and Online Safety Act risk increase sharply when a site starts collecting or hosting user material.
The Terms & Scope page records the hard exclusions: no contact forms, evidence uploads, case triage, analytics, accounts, visitor reports, named private allegations, or sensitive evidence routes.
ICO and PECR
The privacy rule is simple: collect as little as possible.
You should be able to understand any visitor-data use in plain language. This website avoids unnecessary cookies and keeps private case evidence off the public website.
No analytics beacon
No website analytics tracking is enabled
The Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon has been removed from the public pages. The website does not run an analytics script, visitor-account script, advertising pixel, or public case-submission form.

PECR
There is no analytics cookie banner because analytics tracking is not enabled
The public website does not set a site cookie for analytics or visitor accounts. ICO guidance says PECR applies to cookies and similar technologies, and that non-essential cookies generally need consent unless an exemption applies. If you later see analytics, embeds, ads, forms, newsletters, or third-party scripts, expect a fresh privacy explanation.

Hosting
Cloudflare delivers the public pages
The site is deployed through Cloudflare Pages and uses Cloudflare for security and delivery infrastructure. Hosting still involves normal infrastructure processing, but the public pages no longer include Cloudflare's analytics beacon. You should not be asked to send visitor messages or case files through this site.

Evidence
Private evidence must stay private
Names, addresses, vehicle registrations, claim numbers, medical evidence, disability evidence, hardship evidence, screenshots of letters, and court papers should not be published unless redacted, necessary, evidenced, and consented where needed.
Open evidence policy
No inbox
No public case-submission route is operated here
The website itself is not a place to send private ticket evidence. If you ever see a private submission route here, expect a named purpose, privacy information, security controls, a deletion route, and an explanation of whether it changes Online Safety Act scope.

Ofcom and Online Safety Act
This website does not look like a regulated user-to-user or search service.
The Online Safety Act covers user-to-user services, search services, and provider-published pornography. This site publishes provider-written research pages and does not let users upload, share, message, comment, review, or search multiple websites.
| Feature | Website position | Regulatory note |
| User-to-user content | Not present. No public comments, user reviews, account posts, uploads, or messaging. | Ofcom guidance is aimed at regulated user-to-user services where users can encounter content generated, uploaded, or shared by other users. |
| Search service | Not present. There is no site search and no search engine across multiple websites or databases. | Ofcom says an internal search of one website is not treated as providing a search service. |
| Pornographic content | Not present. | This subject is outside the website's purpose and should not appear here. |
| Case submission | Not present. | If you see an upload form, inbox, forum, comments, or public case wall, treat it as a different service and look for a fresh privacy and safety explanation. |

If the site changes
Features you should not see here without a fresh public explanation.
These changes would alter the privacy and safety position. If they appear, look for a clear notice explaining what changed, why it is needed, and how visitors are protected.
Not offered herePublic comments or reviews
User comments, star ratings, reviews, forum posts, or public case stories could create Online Safety Act, moderation, defamation, and personal-data duties.
Not accepted hereEvidence upload or contact forms
Case uploads can contain names, addresses, vehicle registrations, health data, disability data, debt details, and court documents. A full privacy notice, retention rule, security route, and consent process would be needed first.
Not part of this siteAI or search across live websites
A tool that searches multiple websites, displays third-party content, or lets users generate public content needs a fresh Ofcom and data-protection explanation before visitors use it.
Requires a fresh noticeNewsletter or mailing list
Email collection would need clear privacy information, retention limits, unsubscribe controls, and direct-marketing/PECR checks before any form appears.
Publication discipline
The research can be firm without exposing private people.
| Risk | Publication rule | Why it matters |
| Private motorist evidence | Aggregate first. Redact if a case detail is necessary. Avoid names, addresses, claim numbers, and registration marks. | The website is about system patterns, not exposing motorists. |
| Staff or individual targeting | Use company-level and official-register evidence. Avoid personal targeting unless a named person is central to an official filing and the wording is proportionate. | The audit should not mirror the pressure culture it is investigating. |
| Special category data | Do not publish medical, disability, neurodivergence, hardship, or vulnerability details unless there is a clear public-interest reason and safer wording is not enough. | ICO research guidance treats sensitive data as requiring greater care and safeguards. |
| Changed sources | Keep public links in the bibliography and keep screenshots/backups off-server with dates and redaction. | Evidence integrity should not require exposing private files. |
