Privacy Policy

The short version

This site does not use cookies. It counts page views with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and does not identify or profile you. It does not collect your email address. It does not require you to create an account. I do not know who you are when you visit.

What data is processed

When you visit any page, your browser automatically sends technical information to the servers that host this site. This includes:

• Your IP address
• The page you requested
• Your browser type and operating system
• The page that referred you here (if any)
• The date and time of your visit

This data is processed by GitHub Pages and Cloudflare, which host and serve this website. They process this data to deliver the page to your browser, protect against attacks, and maintain service performance. I do not have access to individual server logs or IP addresses.

Cookies and tracking

This site sets no cookies. It uses no tracking pixels, no fingerprinting, and no advertising technology. There is no cookie banner because there are no cookies to consent to.

One third-party script is loaded on every page: the Cloudflare Web Analytics beacon. It reports page views to Cloudflare in aggregate so I can see which pages are read. It sets no cookies, does not use localStorage, does not fingerprint your device, and does not follow you across other sites. Cloudflare describes it as privacy-first analytics; I see counts, not visitors. Details: cloudflare.com/web-analytics.

The area lookup on the homepage sends the postcode you type topostcodes.io, an open service, to resolve it to a local authority. Nothing else you type is sent anywhere. A correction to this page was made on 7 September 2026: earlier versions denied using any analytics or loading any script from a third party, which was not true while the Cloudflare beacon was in place.

This site does not use localStorage, sessionStorage, or any other browser storage technology.

Fonts

All fonts are self-hosted on asylumstats.co.uk via Fontsource. No external font services (such as Google Fonts) are contacted when you visit this site.

Embedded content

Some pages embed video content from YouTube (using the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain). YouTube may set its own cookies and collect data when you choose to play embedded content. Each embed is clearly marked. I have no control over YouTube's data processing.

Lawful basis

The limited data processing described above (serving web pages via hosting infrastructure) is carried out under UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f), legitimate interests. The legitimate interest is operating a publicly accessible website. Given the minimal data involved and the absence of cookies, profiling and cross-site tracking, this processing does not override your rights and freedoms.

Your rights

Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Request access to any personal data held about you
• Request correction or deletion of that data
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)

In practice, I hold no personal data about visitors. If you contact me with a request, I will confirm this within one calendar month.

Retention

This site keeps nothing about your visit. Hosting logs are held by GitHub and Cloudflare under their own retention policies, linked above, and I cannot access them. Aggregate page counts are kept by Cloudflare Web Analytics and contain no personal data. If you email me, I keep the correspondence only as long as it takes to deal with your request, then delete it.
