Privacy
Fair Payment is published by Domain Farm Ltd. Most of the site needs nothing from you. This page explains the few times we handle personal information and what we do with it.
Customer alerts
If you sign up for customer alerts, we keep your email address, the list of companies you chose, the dates you signed up and confirmed, and a one-way code made from your internet address and the month, which we use only to stop abuse of the sign-up form.
We use them for one thing: to email you when something changes for a company on your list. We ask you to confirm your address before any alert is sent, and you agree to the emails when you sign up. That consent is our lawful basis, and you can withdraw it at any time with the link in every email.
We do not sell, share or rent your address or your list, and we do not use them for marketing. They are stored on our own server, not with a mailing list company. When you stop your alerts, we delete your list and address straight away. A sign-up that is never confirmed is deleted after seven days.
Company check orders
If you order a company check, we keep the details you give us (your name, email address, phone number and business if given, the company you asked about and any notes) to take payment, run the check and send you the report. Payment is handled by Stripe, which has its own privacy notice. The credit reference agency we use is told only which company to report on, not who asked.
We keep order records for six years, because the law requires us to keep accounting records. We do not use them for marketing.
Company lookup
When you look up a company that has not filed a payment practices report, your browser asks our server to fetch that company's public record from Companies House. We keep a short-lived copy of the answer to avoid asking twice, and nothing that identifies you.
Our data
The figures on this site come from public records: payment practices reports filed with the government, The Gazette and Companies House. The names of directors, insolvency practitioners and petitioners appear only as published in those records. Our sources notice explains how we use that information for journalism and research.
Your rights
You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email editor@fairpaymentcampaign.co.uk. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
