This privacy policy explains how What County Am I In? ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and protects your information when you use our website at whatcountyamiin.uk.
We are committed to minimal data collection. Here is what we process:
When you visit our site, Cloudflare (our hosting provider) estimates your approximate location based on your IP address. This is used solely to auto-detect your county. We do not store your IP address, and we do not request browser geolocation permissions.
If you enter a postcode, it is processed server-side to return county information. Postcode lookup results are cached temporarily to improve performance. We do not log which postcodes individual users search for, and no lookup is tied to any personally identifiable information.
Our site does not set any first-party cookies. We do not use analytics cookies, tracking cookies, or preference cookies.
Third-party services embedded on our site may set their own cookies:
We use the following third-party services:
We do not maintain any user database. Cached postcode results are stored temporarily for performance and automatically expire. No personal data is retained.
Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.
Under UK GDPR (the UK General Data Protection Regulation), you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since we do not collect or store personal data, there is typically nothing to request. If you have concerns, please contact us.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
