Privacy

Plain-language statement of what we hold, why, and who can reach it.

What we collect

  • Account details: email address, and optionally a display name and phone number.
  • Report content: reservation details, what happened, financial impact and the outcome you want.
  • Evidence: files you choose to upload.
  • Operational records: consent records, notifications and audit events describing actions taken on your case.

What we never collect

  • Full payment card numbers, CVV codes or bank credentials. We record only the payment method type.
  • Government identity documents, unless you volunteer one for identity confirmation and we explicitly request it.
  • Location tracking or advertising identifiers.

How evidence is stored

  • Evidence lives in private storage that is not publicly addressable.
  • Access requires an authenticated request and is served through short-lived signed links.
  • Only you and authorised reviewers can retrieve your files. Access is recorded in the audit trail.

What is never published

  • Your name, email, phone number or address.
  • Confirmation numbers and payment details.
  • Uploaded evidence files.
  • Internal reviewer notes.

Publication and consent

  • A report is private by default. It becomes publicly visible only if you consent and a reviewer publishes it.
  • Consent is versioned and recorded. You can withdraw it, after which the public entry is removed.

Your rights

  • Access, correct, export or delete your account data by contacting us through the corrections page.
  • Withdraw a report at any time.
  • Ask which categories of data are held about you and why.

Third parties

  • The platform uses a hosted database, authentication and file-storage provider to operate.
  • Transactional email, mapping, analytics and error monitoring are integrated behind service abstractions; where a provider is enabled, only the minimum data required is shared, and analytics events never contain report content.
