Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
๐ Key point: We do not store your Companies House API key on our servers. It is saved only in your own browser's local storage.
1. Who We Are
FilingAlert ("we", "our", "us") is a UK-based SaaS tool that helps businesses and accountants track Companies House filing deadlines. Our contact email is info@filingalert.co.uk.
2. What Data We Collect
When you use FilingAlert, we may collect:
- Information you submit via our contact form (name, email, message)
- Basic analytics data (page visits, browser type) via privacy-respecting analytics
- Company numbers you enter into the tracker (processed in real-time, not stored)
We do not collect or store your Companies House API key. It is held entirely within your browser's local storage and is never transmitted to our servers.
3. How We Use Your Data
Any contact form information is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
4. Companies House API
Our tracker app uses the official Companies House Public Data API. When you perform a company lookup, a request is made from our serverless function to Companies House's servers using your API key. We do not log or store these requests beyond the immediate response.
5. Cookies
Our website may use essential cookies to ensure the site functions correctly. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.
6. Your Rights (UK GDPR)
Under UK GDPR you have the right to access, correct, or delete any personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, email us at info@filingalert.co.uk.
7. Third Party Services
Our site is hosted on Netlify. Please refer to Netlify's privacy policy for information on how they handle infrastructure data. We use the official Companies House API (GOV.UK) for company data lookups.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
