Privacy policy

What Insolvency News collects, why and how long we keep it.

Who we are

Tooltap Limited (company number 16206381) trades as Insolvency News and is the data controller for the personal data processed through this site. Our registered office is Unit C, Aldow Enterprise Park, Blackett Street, Manchester, M12 6AE, United Kingdom.

What we collect

We do not run advertising, third-party trackers, or analytics on the public site. The only personal data we process about visitors comprises (a) information already in the public record (directors' names, addresses on Companies House and Gazette filings, contact details published on a Gazette notice), and (b) what you choose to send us (name, email and comment body when you submit a comment; subject access requests by email). We do not enrich the public-record data with private databases or social-graph data.

Server logs

Cloudflare, our hosting provider, may keep request logs for security and abuse prevention. We do not retain server logs separately.

Cookies

The public site sets no cookies. The editorial admin area sets a single HttpOnly session cookie used solely to authenticate signed-in editors. It is cleared on logout.

Comments

If you submit a comment, we store the name and (optional) email address you provide, the comment body, your IP address hashed for abuse prevention only, your user agent string and the time of submission. We do not display the email address publicly. Comments may be moderated, rejected or removed.

Subject access

If you appear in our coverage and want to know what we hold about you, write to privacy@insolvency-news.uk. We will respond within one calendar month. In nearly every case our holdings are identical to the public record; we are happy to point you at the source notices.

Lawful basis

We process personal data on the basis of legitimate interest in reporting on public-record insolvency events under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f). Where you object to that processing, we will weigh your objection against the public interest in continued availability of the article. For comments, we rely on consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) -- withdrawn by asking us to remove the comment.

Your rights

You can ask us to confirm what personal data we process about you, request a copy, request correction or erasure, object to processing, or complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
