Cookies and advertising
Door Number uses Google AdSense to show adverts. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technology to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites. In the UK and the European Economic Area this happens only if you consent through our cookie message, which you can reopen from the footer.
You can opt out of personalised advertising at g.co/adsettings, and see how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. The websites aboutads.info and youronlinechoices.com let you manage interest-based advertising across many companies.
We use no other advertising or tracking cookies. If we add analytics, we will update this page first.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, restrict or object to how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Use the contact page and choose Data request. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Security, transfers and children
We use HTTPS and limit access to the data we hold. Some providers, such as Google and Netlify, may process data outside the UK under approved safeguards. Door Number is not aimed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their data.
We will update this page, and its date, whenever our practices change.
Privacy and cookies: questions people ask
What personal data does Door Number collect?
Only what you give us: the details in a contact, report or referral form, plus standard server logs for security. You do not need an account to browse, and we do not ask for your name or email to view any page.
Does Door Number sell my personal data?
No. If you submit a referral form, your details come to us and are passed to a partner only if you ticked the box asking us to. Hosting and security providers process data for us under contract.
How do I opt out of personalised ads?
Use the Cookie settings link in the footer, or visit g.co/adsettings. In the UK and EEA, Google ads are personalised only if you consent.
Which cookies does Door Number use?
