Report requests

When you submit the report-request form, we collect the four fields you provide (full name, email, location, category), the timestamp of submission, your IP address, and your browser's user-agent string. The IP address and user-agent are used solely to detect spam; they are deleted automatically after 30 days.

The four fields you provide are stored in our triage system and used to reply to your request. If you ask us to delete the row, we do, immediately.

Customers

If you commission a report, we hold your name, email, business name, postcode, the market(s) purchased, and the Stripe payment record (which we receive from Stripe and which contains no card data). We never see or store full card numbers.

Invoices are kept for six years to satisfy UK tax law. Other customer data is kept for two years from the date of last contact.

Businesses appearing in reports

Reports analyse public reviews of businesses. The data we collect — business name, address, category, public reviews — is sourced exclusively from public surfaces (Google Maps). Reviewer display names are kept as part of the review attribution; reviewer email addresses, phone numbers, and any other contact data are not collected.

If you are a business and you'd like to know what we hold about your business, or you would like us to delete it, email info@ratemyratings.com. We respond within 30 days.
