Privacy policy

Last updated: May 2026

This policy explains how we handle personal data on policebrutality.co.uk. We are a UK-based public-interest platform. We comply with the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.

What we collect

  • Account information — email, display name, password hash.
  • Forum content — posts and replies you submit.
  • Complaint case data (if you choose to use the complaint support service) — incident details, evidence, correspondence.
  • Technical logs — IP address, user agent, request timestamps for security and abuse prevention.

How we protect it

  • Strict row-level security on every database table — public users cannot read complaint data.
  • Evidence files are stored in a private bucket, accessed only via signed URLs.
  • Admin actions are recorded in an audit log.
  • Multi-factor authentication is enforced for admin accounts.
