Privacy notice

This notice explains what information we collect when you use the site and what we do with it. Contact: info@ontheevidence.com.

Browsing the site

We do not ask for your name, email address or any other details to use the site.

We use Matomo to count visits and see which pages and charts are used, so we can improve the site. We have set it up to protect your privacy:

  • it does not use cookies;
  • your IP address is shortened before it is stored, so it cannot be used to identify you;
  • the data is [held on our own server / held by Matomo in the EU] and is not shared with anyone or used for advertising;
  • detailed visit records are deleted automatically after [12 months].

You can opt out of being counted here:

[The opt-out box appears here once Matomo is set up.]

Our web host keeps standard server logs, including IP addresses, for security, for up to [30] days.

If you email us

If you email us, we use your email address and message only to reply. We do not share them and we delete them when we no longer need them, normally within [12 months] of our last reply.

Storage on your device

The interactive charts remember the period and police force you last chose, using your browser’s local storage, so the page opens where you left it. This stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.

Your rights

You can ask what information we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing info@ontheevidence.com. If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
