Privacy policy

What we collect

Your answers to the screening questions. They are saved to us as you type, on a short delay - including if you stop partway and never finish, which is how we find out which questions people give up on. It covers the last step too: the name, email address and note you type there are saved as you type them, before you tick the consent box and before you press Send, so an abandoned form is stored as well - recorded as one you never consented to send. Plus the routes you ticked. Two things are held back: the optional free-text story box and the optional question about religious or ethnic background are saved only if you tick their own consent box, and until you do, that text stays in your browser and never reaches us. On the pages outside the screener, a short analytics record of the visit (see Analytics, below). Nothing else.

What we don’t collect

Documents - there is no upload feature anywhere on this site, so there is nothing to hand over and nothing for us to lose. Identity numbers, addresses, phone numbers or payment details - we don’t ask for any of them. Any answer content inside analytics events - those carry counts and categories only; your answers travel by the separate route described above.

Analytics

We run our own, self-hosted analytics - no third-party script, no cookie, nothing that follows you to another site. On the pages outside the screener, a visit records which page you were on, the campaign tag (utm_source) on the link you arrived through, your browser’s language setting, and your screen size. Not the referring site, and not the rest of the query string. There is no identifier that lets us join one visit to another.

Sharing with law firms

We only share your details with a partner firm if you specifically opt in to that, per route, and that choice is not pre-selected or bundled with anything else. Ticking that box is not what stores your details - by then we already have them. It is what allows them to leave Odarcon, and no firm sees a word of it until you tick it.

Retention and deletion

We have not settled retention periods yet, and we would rather say that than publish a number we are not holding ourselves to. To be deleted, email [email protected] and we will remove everything tied to that address: your report, the routes you asked about, and the screening session it came from. A saved session and a submitted report carry the same session id, so the two can be found from either end - including the case that used to defeat us, where someone typed their email into the last step and then closed the tab. An address captured that way is stored marked as not consented, it is never passed to a firm, and one email erases it. If you left without typing an email anywhere, nothing we hold names you, and there is nothing we can match a request against.

Your rights

This policy has not been reviewed against a specific legal regime yet, so we are not going to quote one at you. What we will do without waiting for that: tell you what we hold about you, send it to you, or delete it. Email [email protected] and a person will answer.
