Who we are

Cyber Essentials Compare (cyberessentialscompare.com) is an independent guide for UK businesses. You can contact us at info@cyberessentialscompare.com.

What we collect

When you fill in one of our forms we collect what you enter: your name, business name, email address, phone number if given, location, business size and details of what you need. The checker on our homepage runs in your browser. Your answers are only sent to us if you then submit the request form.

We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

How we use it

• To reply to you and, where you have agreed, to share your request with up to three accredited certification bodies so they can contact you.
• For certification bodies who register interest: to contact you about listing options.

We rely on your consent, which you give by ticking the box on the form. You can withdraw it at any time by emailing us.

How long we keep it

We keep requests for up to 24 months, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your details sooner.

Who we share it with

We only share your details with the certification bodies you agreed to, and with the service providers that run this website and our email (Cloudflare and Google), who process data on our behalf. We never sell your data.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing info@cyberessentialscompare.com. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
