This website provides information about UK postcodes and places. You do not need to create an account or provide your name or contact details to use it. This notice explains how the operator of Postcode Info uses information about visitors, including when displaying advertising through Google AdSense.
Our web servers may automatically record technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, referring page, and the date and time of a request. We use server logs where necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot and maintain the website. Our legitimate interests in providing a reliable and secure service are the legal basis for this use.
If you choose to allow advertising cookies or similar technologies, Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive information from this website. This can include cookie or device identifiers, IP address, browser and device information, approximate location derived from your IP address, pages viewed, interactions with adverts, and information about your consent choices. They may use this information to deliver and measure adverts, prevent fraud and abuse, limit how often adverts appear, develop and improve services and, where you consent, personalise advertising.
We use Google AdSense, an advertising service provided by Google. Google may use cookies, web storage, pixels or similar technologies to serve and measure adverts on this website. Depending on your choices, adverts may be personalised using information about your activity on this and other websites, or non-personalised and selected using contextual information such as the page you are viewing and your general location. Non-personalised adverts may still use cookies or similar technologies for purposes such as frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention.
Google and the ad technology providers involved in showing an advert may act as separate controllers of the information they process. The providers available on this website, their purposes and their privacy information are listed in the consent message under Manage options. You can also read how Google uses information from sites that use its services and manage advertising associated with your Google account through My Ad Center.
We use a functional cookie to remember a preference you request, such as whether distances are shown in miles or kilometres. This cookie is not used for advertising or to track your activity across websites. It is set for up to one year and is necessary to provide the preference you selected, so we do not ask for consent to use it.
We use Google's consent management platform (CMP) to explain the advertising purposes and providers that apply to you and to record your choices. Where consent is required, advertising cookies and the use of personal data for personalised advertising are based on your consent. You can choose Consent or Manage options. Refusing consent will not prevent you from using this website, although you may still see non-personalised adverts.
You can review or withdraw your consent at any time using the Privacy and cookie settings link shown on the website. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that took place before it was withdrawn. You can also delete cookies using your browser settings; doing so may reset your saved preference and cause the consent message to appear again.
Information used for advertising may be shared with Google and the ad technology providers identified in the CMP. These organisations may process information in the UK, the European Economic Area and other countries. Where information is transferred internationally, the relevant provider is responsible for using an approved safeguard where required, such as an adequacy regulation or standard contractual clauses. Please see each provider's privacy information in Manage options for details.
Consent records and advertising information are retained for the periods described by Google and the relevant ad technology providers in the CMP and their privacy notices. We keep server logs only for as long as reasonably necessary for operation, security and troubleshooting, unless a longer period is required by law.
Depending on the circumstances, UK data protection law may give you the right to ask for access to, correction or deletion of your personal data, to restrict or object to its use, and to receive certain data in a portable format. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
To exercise these rights in relation to information controlled by Postcode Info, email privacy@postcode-info.co.uk. For information controlled by Google or another advertising provider, please contact that provider using the details in its privacy notice. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
This policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes to the website or applicable legal requirements. Any updates will be published on this page.
