Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect information.

1. Information We Collect

The site sends your postcode to Postcodes.io for lookup. The full result is held in the current browser tab’s session storage. Comparison and map searches use the lookup service, and opening a full comparison result saves that result in the tab.

2. How We Use Information

Your browser requests map resources directly from OpenFreeMap by default, or from the map provider configured for this deployment. Those requests can disclose your IP address and the map area being viewed.

To load area context, the server sends the postcode representative point or area code to the relevant geographic data providers. See Data Sources for the providers and coverage.

3. Data Protection

Cloudflare hosts the site. Successful eligible lookups may be cached in server memory for up to 24 hours under a keyed hash. The cache stores area details without the full postcode. Map view bounds may be sent to the Environment Agency to load flood zones.

The share summary is generated in your browser with country-level location information. The checker link opens the homepage.
