Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how ShareCodeCheck.org (Share Code Check) handles information when you visit the website or use its free tools. Share Code Check is an independent, informational website about UK share codes and related verification processes. It is not affiliated with the UK Home Office or GOV.UK.
This policy is written to be plain and specific to how this website actually works, rather than a generic legal template.
Information We May Collect!
Share Code Check is designed to be used without creating an account. Depending on how you use the site, the following categories of information may apply:
- Information you voluntarily provide — such as your name and email address, if you fill out the Contact form
- Technical information — browser type, device type, and operating system, collected automatically by standard web server logs
- IP address information — your approximate IP address, used only for basic security and traffic purposes
- Cookies — small files that may be used for essential site functionality and, if enabled, analytics
- Analytics information — aggregated, non-identifying usage data such as pages visited and time on site, if an analytics tool is active.
Important:
The share code format checker and role-based routing tool on this site are designed to run in your browser. They do not transmit your share code to our servers; the tool only helps you identify which official GOV.UK service to use next. This design choice is intentional, so you never need to enter sensitive immigration data into a third-party website.
| Data Type | When It’s Collected | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Contact form details | When you submit the Contact page | To respond to your message |
| Browser/device data | Automatically, on every visit | Site security and basic diagnostics |
| Cookies | During your browsing session | Site functionality and, where enabled, analytics |
| Share code entered in the checker tool | Never sent to our servers | Processed only in your browser, for format checking |
How We Use Information?
Any information we collect is used to operate and improve the website, respond to contact form submissions, understand which content and tools are useful to visitors, and maintain basic site security. We do not use collected information for automated decision-making about individuals, and we do not sell personal data to third parties.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Share Code Check may use cookies that are necessary for the site to function correctly, and, where enabled, cookies that help us understand general traffic patterns. You can usually control or disable cookies through your browser settings; doing so may affect some site functionality.
Analytics
If an analytics service (for example, a privacy-focused analytics tool or Google Analytics) is active on this site, it will be named here, along with a link to that provider’s own privacy policy. Analytics data is used only in aggregate form to understand which pages and tools are helpful to visitors.
Third-Party Services
The Contact form on this site may be processed through a third-party form provider. Any third-party service used to operate this site processes data under its own privacy policy, which we encourage you to review.
External Links
Share Code Check links to official government resources, including GOV.UK, and may link to other informational sources. These external websites operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of any website we do not operate, and we encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information there.
Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, such as responding to a contact form message or maintaining basic analytics records. We do not keep personal data indefinitely without reason.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by this website. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights relating to personal data, such as the right to ask what information is held about you or to request its deletion. If you have questions about your data, you can contact us using the details below.
Children’s Privacy
Share Code Check is intended for general adult audiences researching UK immigration-status verification processes. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the site operates or to comply with legal requirements. The date of the most recent update will be reflected on this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
