We are NOT Cafcass
We are independent.

How We Protect Your Identity
Anonymous Ratings
When you submit a rating or feedback on this site:
- Your name is NEVER published. Your ratings are aggregated into anonymous statistics.
- No Case Numbers. We do not ask for, store, or publish court case numbers.
- Generic Data Only. We group data by region (e.g., "South East") rather than specific towns or courts, making it harder to identify individuals.
Safe Login
We offer login via Google or Email purely to verify you are a real person (one person, one vote) and to prevent spam bots.
- Your email address is encrypted and stored securely.
- We never share your email address with Cafcass, social services, or any third party.
Data & Cookies
What we collect
We collect only the minimum data needed to operate:
- Login Info: Your email address (hashed/encrypted where possible).
- Ratings: The scores you submit (1-5 stars) and checkbox selections.
- Timestamps: When a rating was submitted.
Cookies
We use small text files called "cookies" solely to keep you logged in while you use the site. We do not use invasive tracking cookies to follow you around the internet.
Right to be Forgotten
Under GDPR, you have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. If you wish to do this, simply contact us via the contact page or use the "Delete Account" button in your dashboard (coming soon).
