Privacy notice

Who is responsible

My Best Solutions Limited, company number 14243668, registered office 167–169 Great Portland Street, 5th Floor, London W1W 5PF. FindThePlot is a trading name of that company and is the data controller for this site.

Using the free tools

The Class MA Checker and Site Snapshot run in your browser. You can complete either one, see the whole result, and leave, without giving us a name or an email address.

Two optional actions do store something:

• Creating a link to a result. This saves the figures and answers you entered, plus the working, against a random code. It does not include your name, email address or IP address. Anyone with the code can open it, so treat the code as you would a link to a document.
• Asking for a result by email. This stores the email address you typed, which tool it related to, the code for the saved result, and whether you opted in to occasional notes.

Sending a brief

We store what you enter on the brief form: the search parameters, your name, email address, phone number if given, company if given, and your consent choices. The lawful basis is your consent, and the purpose is to assess and respond to the brief and, if you instruct us, to run the search.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.
• We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies, and there are no third-party advertising pixels on this site.
• We do not add you to a mailing list because you sent a brief or used a tool. Marketing is a separate, unticked, optional box.
• We do not enrich, profile or score you against external data sources.

Processors

Form submissions and saved tool results are stored in a hosted database, and the site itself is served by a hosting provider. Those providers process the data on our instructions only. Where data is transferred outside the UK it is done under the safeguards those providers offer for international transfers.

How long we keep it

• Briefs: kept while the enquiry is live and for two years afterwards, then deleted.
• Email requests for results: kept for two years, or until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them.
• Saved tool results: kept so the link keeps working. They contain no personal data unless you typed personal data into a reference field.
• Records of a completed transaction: kept for six years where we are required to keep them.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, ask us to delete it, object to us using it, ask us to restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. Ask through the brief form or any email address we have corresponded from, and we will respond within one month.

If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a request, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Changes

If this notice changes materially we will say what changed rather than silently replacing the page.
