What this notice covers
This notice covers this website and enquiries sent to us by email. Processing carried out when we deliver the court outcome notification service to a client organisation is governed by the contract with that organisation, by the data protection terms attached to it, and by the data protection impact assessment completed for the service. A summary is set out below; the contractual documents are the authoritative version.
This website
- There are no cookies, no analytics, no tracking pixels and no third-party scripts on this site.
- There is no form on this site. Nothing you type is submitted anywhere.
- No fonts, images or other assets are loaded from any external service.
- The site is served through a content delivery network, which processes request metadata such as IP address and user agent in order to deliver the page and protect the service against abuse. Retention of those records is [to confirm].
If you email us
We process the contents of your message, your email address and any information you choose to include, in order to respond and to keep a record of the correspondence. Our lawful basis is legitimate interests: responding to a business enquiry addressed to us. Retention is [to confirm]. Please do not send personal data about identifiable individuals, incident details or evidence in an initial enquiry. We do not need it, and if you send it we will delete it.
The service, in summary
- We receive identifiers from a contracted client organisation about incidents that organisation has reported, and we monitor published court information.
- Matching is rules-based and deterministic. There is no machine-learning scoring and no generative AI anywhere in the data flow.
- A match requires corroborating identifiers — an incident or police reference, a date, a venue. A name alone is never sufficient.
- Every release is reviewed by a person before it is sent.
- Records subject to reporting restrictions or statutory anonymity are suppressed, as are convictions that have become spent under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
- We do not build offender profiles, dossiers or watchlists, we do not produce analytics about judges, magistrates or court staff, and we do not score, rank or predict.
- Output goes to the contracted organisation for cases it reported. Nothing is published at record level and nothing is sold, syndicated or brokered.
- All processing and storage take place in the United Kingdom, in UK-region cloud infrastructure. There are no international transfers.
Your rights
Subject to the conditions in UK data protection law, you have the right to ask for access to personal data we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected, erased or restricted; to object to processing carried out on the basis of legitimate interests; and to data portability where it applies. To exercise a right, email dts@datatorturingsolutions.co.uk. We will respond within the statutory period.
If you are not satisfied with how we have handled your personal data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk. We would prefer to hear from you first so that we can put it right.
Changes to this notice
