Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information is collected when you use SafePostcode, how that information is used and stored, and your choices regarding your data.
SafePostcode is an information site that displays UK crime data provided by the UK Police API. We do not require you to register or provide personal information. When you browse the site we may collect limited data automatically, such as your browser type and device information, to understand usage patterns. This information does not personally identify you and is used solely to improve the service.
Any usage information is used to operate, maintain and improve the website. We may analyse aggregated, anonymised data to understand trends and ensure the accuracy and reliability of our content. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties. This website does not provide personalised recommendations or store user profiles.
We may use cookies or similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as recent searches) and to understand how visitors interact with our pages. These tools help us enhance the user experience. You can adjust your browser settings to disable cookies, though some features may not function as intended.
SafePostcode relies on the UK Police API and other public services to fetch crime statistics. These third‑party providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review those policies for more information on their practices.
We take reasonable measures to protect the information we process and maintain. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
SafePostcode is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified by updating the effective date below. Your continued use of the site after changes have been made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this privacy policy, or need assistance with your data, please reach out via the contact information provided on our homepage. Note that this page is provided for general information only; for specific advice or legal questions, consult a qualified professional.
