1. Who we are
sexoffenders.co.uk publishes information from publicly available sources for legitimate public interest and community safety purposes. For privacy enquiries, contact [email protected].
2. What data we process
We process information about convicted offenders drawn from publicly available publications (including courts, police statements, and mainstream media reporting) and data you voluntarily provide (e.g., when you submit a correction request). Where available, we disclose the source for each offender. Server logs may include IP addresses, user agents, and request metadata necessary for security and performance.
3. Lawful basis
We rely on legitimate interests to publish and maintain this website in the public interest. Where applicable (e.g., when you contact us), we rely on consent or our legitimate interests to respond and maintain records of communications.
4. Accuracy, reporting restrictions, and safeguarding
We are not the original publisher of the underlying information and we do not claim that content on this website is always complete, accurate, or up to date. Our intent is to reflect information that has already been lawfully published elsewhere and to minimise risk of harm.
Reporting restrictions and children: We do not intend to publish content that is subject to reporting restrictions, identifies a child, identifies or enables identification of a victim, or otherwise breaches safeguarding obligations. If you believe any page contains restricted information (including anything involving a child) or should not be public for legal reasons, please contact us immediately at [email protected] with the relevant URL(s) and details.
Urgent removal procedure: Where we receive a credible report of a potential legal issue (including reporting restrictions/children) we will, where appropriate, restrict access to the content or remove it while we investigate, and we will act urgently.
5. Retention
Public record data is retained while it remains relevant to the public interest purpose of this site. Correspondence and logs are retained for as long as necessary for security, compliance, and audit purposes, then securely deleted.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location and circumstances, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing. To exercise rights or raise concerns, contact [email protected]. We will consider requests in line with applicable law and our overriding public interest purpose.
7. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect data. However, no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Cookies and analytics
We may use cookies or similar technologies for basic site functions and aggregated analytics. Browser settings can be used to block cookies, though some features may not function properly.
