1. Principles of Data Minimisation
Our platform operates under a strict principle of data minimization. We do not require user account registration, do not capture driving licence numbers, and do not track vehicle registration marks (VRMs) or Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) feeds.
All incident feeds broadcast through this website are derived from aggregated, anonymized public sector event trees published by National Highways and the Department for Transport.
2. Server Telemetry & Anonymous Logs
When you access ukroadclosures.eu, standard edge server logs capture non-identifying technical metadata necessary for network security, DDoS mitigation, and edge caching via Cloudflare. This includes:
- Browser user-agent string and operating system architecture.
- Referrer URL and HTTP response code.
- Truncated, anonymized IP addresses utilized solely for geographic regional caching (e.g. routing UK visitors to London edge nodes).
3. Cookie Directives & Local Storage
UK Road Closures does not deploy tracking cookies for behavioural profiling. Lightweight local storage may be utilized on your device solely to remember your preferred road filter selections (e.g. A38 or M25) between sessions. This data remains entirely client-side and is never transmitted to third-party ad brokers.
4. Third-Party Legal & Emergency Partner Enquiries
If you voluntarily submit an enquiry through our statutory compensation evaluation tool, your contact details are transmitted securely over TLS encryption exclusively to our designated SRA-regulated solicitor partner to review your Road Traffic Accident (RTA) inquiry. We do not sell or broker personal contact data.
5. Supervisory Authority Contact (ICO)
If you have questions regarding our data practices under the UK GDPR, you have the statutory right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or via helpline on 0303 123 1113.
