Privacy and safety

Use the handbook without handing over your story.

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.

Simple position.

The site helps people read public information and prepare their own evidence privately. It does not ask visitors to send personal data to this website.

Data minimisation

What this site does not do.

No accounts or comments.

Visitors cannot register, post, message, upload files, or publish content for other visitors to see.

No public contact form.

The site does not invite visitors to send personal details here. Official complaint links go to the relevant bodies.

No cookies or analytics beacon.

The public pages do not set cookies, use localStorage, or load a public web analytics script.

No casework or sensitive evidence.

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.
