Personal data we collect:

Your IP address - this is pseudonymised by redacting the second half of the address
Referrer (what page you arrived at one of our web pages from)
Information about your device, Operating System (OS) and browser

We do not use this data to personally identify individuals, but it is possible that it could be used to do so, particularly if combined with other datasets.

You can opt out of this processing: if you select “Disable Analytics” in our cookie pop-up or have set your web browser to "I do not want to be tracked" (DoNotTrack is enabled) then Matomo will not track your visit.

Data processors: 360Giving, Open Data Services Co-operative Limited, Mythic Beasts.

No data is transferred to third countries or international organisations.

Data uploaded to this website

This application is designed so that people can submit files to the application, allow the application to process them and to then display information about them, generate alternative file formats of the original data, and provide those files for download.

Please do not submit any non-public personal data to this application.

Data processors do not make use of any of the data within the files for purposes other than to create reports for you about the data you have submitted and to review the operation and output of the website.

We do create and store metadata about your use of the application, and about the files/data that you have uploaded in order to monitor how the application is being used.

We may use the data, metadata, and reports to identify users whose submissions have failed validation and contact them to help them resolve issues with their file.

Deleting our copies of the files

When you provide data to the application, we store the data you have provided in order to process it for you. We also enable derived versions of the data to be downloaded. Those derived versions and the original data are stored on our server.

After a period of time, we will delete those files from our server, meaning they are no-longer available for download.

Information about how long files will be stored is made available to users directly through the interface, but will be for no longer than one year from the date of submission.

If you believe that any information we are holding on you is incorrect or incomplete, please write to or email us as soon as possible at the above address. We will promptly correct any information found to be incorrect.
