Privacy Policy

We may collect limited technical data automatically when you use the site, including:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, device information, ISP, referring pages, timestamps and basic click data.
• Analytics data: aggregated site usage information through tools such as Google Analytics 4.
• Cookie data: information stored in cookies or similar technologies for site performance and audience measurement.

We do not ask readers to submit HMRC sign-in credentials, Government Gateway passwords or tax account passwords through this site.

We may use technical data to:

• keep the site running securely and reliably;
• understand how readers use our independent P800 guidance;
• measure traffic patterns and improve content quality;

For routine analytics, site security and similar operational uses, we generally rely on legitimate interests under the UK GDPR, where that basis is appropriate. Those interests include understanding traffic, maintaining the site, preventing abuse and improving how readers find clear explanations of P800 and HMRC guidance.

Analytics on this site relies on your consent: the tools only load after you accept cookies in the consent banner, and you can change your choice at any time.

Cookies and similar tools may be used to:

• remember basic site preferences;
• analyse traffic and aggregated reader behaviour;

This site does not currently display advertising, and no advertising cookies are set. If advertising is ever introduced, this policy will be updated before that happens.

We use Google Analytics 4 to analyse usage in an aggregated way. The analytics script only loads after you accept cookies in the consent banner, and we do not use those analytics reports to identify individual readers personally.

We aim to keep technical and analytics data only for as long as it is reasonably needed for reporting, security and site improvement. Where Google Analytics 4 is used, the default reporting retention setting is typically limited rather than indefinite.

UK users may have rights under the UK GDPR, including the right to:

• request access to personal data we hold about them;
• request correction of inaccurate data;
• request deletion in some circumstances;
• object to certain processing;
• request restriction of processing in some situations;
• lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

If you have a privacy question about this site or want to report an issue in this policy, you can contact us at [email protected].
