Privacy, in plain English
- What we collect: your answers to the questions above, and only the first half of your postcode. No name, no email, no address.
- How we recognise you: when you first report, your browser is given a random ID and keeps it in local storage, so you can come back and update your answer instead of adding a new one. It isn't linked to who you are.
- What's public: only totals and percentages. Nobody, including us on this page, can see an individual report. A district only appears once 5 or more people there have reported.
- Spam protection: Cloudflare Turnstile checks you're a person when you first report. Cloudflare and our database provider see your IP address to do that and to limit abuse; we don't store it with your answers.
- No tracking: no advertising, no analytics, no tracking cookies.
- Where it lives: in a Supabase database in the EU (Frankfurt). The site is served by Cloudflare.
- Who might see the figures: we may share aggregated figures, never individual reports, with journalists, researchers or charities working on fuel poverty.
- Changing your mind: use Withdraw my report above to delete your report straight away. If you've cleared your browser data, we can no longer tell which report was yours.
