Privacy and safety
Keep the handbook useful without collecting people.
This public site is designed as a static guide. It avoids accounts, comments, uploads, public contact forms, analytics, public visitor reports, and user-to-user features.
The site helps people read public information and prepare their own evidence. It does not ask visitors to send personal data to the site operator.
Data minimisation
What this site does not do.
The site does not invite visitors to send personal details to the site operator. Official complaint links go to the relevant bodies.
The public pages do not set cookies, use localStorage, or load a public web analytics script.
The site does not collect, triage, upload, publish, or store visitor evidence involving health, abuse, vulnerability, capacity, care, finances, crime, or family matters.
Bill checker
The bill checker stays in the browser.
Local-only guidance
The bill checker creates an action list in the page. It does not submit the entered bill amount, household size, or selections to this site.
Templates are static
The download templates are plain text. Visitors should edit them privately before sending anything to a water company, CCW, a regulator, or another official body.

Privacy and cookie considerations.
The current public site does not collect visitor personal data through forms, accounts, comments, uploads, analytics, public reports, or public contact routes.
The analytics beacon has been removed. If analytics, advertising, tracking, or contact features are added later, this page should be reviewed first.
No visitor-submitted personal data or special category data is collected by this public site. Any future data-collecting feature needs a documented Article 6 basis, and any special category feature needs a separate Article 9 condition and safeguards before launch.
External official links open on other websites. Their own privacy notices, cookie settings, and contact processes apply there.
Ofcom check
Online Safety Act scope.
There are no posts, uploads, comments, profiles, private messages, or shared user content.
The site does not operate a search engine across multiple websites or databases.
The site is a water-bill handbook and does not publish or display pornographic content.
Comments, uploads, public submissions, embedded third-party search, forums, or messaging would need a fresh safety review before launch.
