Privacy, in plain English.
TheftScore is designed to work without an account and without building a profile of individual riders.
My bikes and areas
Followed views, labels such as “owned” or “considering,” and the last figures you saw are stored in your browser. TheftScore checks those public views for changes without creating an account or storing your personal list. Removing an item or clearing site data deletes the browser copy.
Insurance quote lab
The quote lab stores its profile label, candidate motorcycles, scenarios and entered quote results only in local storage in your browser. Those records are not submitted to TheftScore. Export happens only when you request a local JSON file; reset or clearing site data removes the browser copy.
Local area lookups
A postcode query is reduced to an outward code and used to request aggregated local vehicle-crime context. Completed monthly aggregates are cached so public services do not have to be queried repeatedly. TheftScore does not create a rider profile from the lookup.
Stolen vehicle reports
If you report a stolen vehicle, the registration, vehicle type, make, model, colour, date, area name, any details you write and any photo you add are published on the map after a person reviews the report. The pin sits near the centre of the postcode district with a small offset, never at the address. The full postcode is used only to check the report and is not published. Photos are re-encoded in your browser and stripped of camera and location data before upload. A one-way hash of your connection, which changes daily, limits how many reports one connection can send. You can mark the vehicle recovered or withdraw the report at any time with the private link shown after submission; withdrawing deletes the report and photo. Recovered reports leave the map after 30 days. Every report, with its photo and postcode, is deleted 12 months after it was submitted. If a visitor uses "Report a problem" on a pin, the reason and a daily-changing hash of their connection are kept with the report until it is approved again or deleted.
Contact
TheftScore controls the information described on this page. If you email contact@theftscore.co.uk, the message and address are processed so the enquiry can be answered. They are not added to a marketing list. Routine correspondence is removed within 12 months after the enquiry is closed unless it must be kept for a legal or security reason.
Cookies and measurement
TheftScore uses aggregate measurement to understand which pages and features are useful. Optional Google Analytics loads only if you allow it through the analytics choices. It is not used for advertising or to build rider profiles. TheftScore's own daily aggregate counters are retained for up to 13 months.
External links
Links to other websites have their own privacy practices. They open outside TheftScore and are governed by those services.
