Last updated: 9 February 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how UK Data Hub collects, uses and protects information when you use our website and services.

We are committed to handling personal data in an open and transparent manner.

2. Information we collect

When user accounts are available, we may collect account information such as email address, username, encrypted password, profile information and account preferences.

We may also collect technical and usage information such as pages visited, browser type, device type, operating system, referral source, approximate location and anonymised analytics data.

3. Analytics and behavioural data

UK Data Hub may use analytics services such as Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors interact with the website.

These tools may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about usage patterns, page performance, user journeys and site interaction.

4. How we use information

We use information to provide and improve the service, manage user accounts, understand usage patterns, fix technical issues, improve performance, detect security risks and communicate with users where appropriate.

Where required, marketing communications will be sent only with consent or where otherwise permitted by law.

5. Cookies and tracking

We may use essential cookies required for the website to function, analytics cookies to understand usage, and advertising or measurement cookies where relevant.

Most browsers allow you to control or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.

6. Third-party services

UK Data Hub may use third-party services for analytics, hosting, security, advertising, payments, email delivery and website optimisation.

These providers have their own privacy policies explaining how they process data.

7. Data storage and security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or destruction.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

8. Data retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

When an account is deleted, personal information will be deleted or anonymised within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data.

You may also have the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

10. Children’s privacy

The service is not intended for children under the age of 13, or 16 in some jurisdictions.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence.

Where applicable, we use appropriate safeguards to protect personal information in accordance with relevant data protection laws.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
