Friends reconnected

1. INTRODUCTION

We do not store any data electronically. Data is gathered from information you freely sent to us, by mail, email or during a telephone conversation. In any event, nothing is ever retained electronically. It’s transferred into hand-written form and solely used for the purpose of the search.

What our people finder search services deliver can generally be found in various public records.  That means we never source any information which is not held in the public domain.

Our role is to deliver information more easily and ready-packaged. To trace the information yourself involves travelling to various public records across the country. However, our expertise involves piecing together all the various elements of the information. Criss-crossing and dissecting it.

We protect the privacy of all personal information you might provide us with by storing it offline.

By using the site, you agree to our Terms and Conditions.

By providing us with any data you must be over 13 years of age.

Friendsreconnected is the data controller and we are responsible for your personal data).

It is very important that the information we hold about you is accurate and up to date.

2. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Obviously, we need ‘the subject’ of the Search Data that includes data relating to the person you are asking us to locate for you such as their name, last known address, their age or date of birth etc. We refer to this information solely in order to fulfil your search request and locate the person you have requested. We only ever source information that is freely available within the public domain.

3. HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We hold in paper document form historic relevant information which you freely provide about you and the individual you are seeking.

We may also obtain information from publicly available sources such as Companies House and the open Electoral Register based inside the EU.

4. DATA RETENTION

We will only retain any and all information for as long as necessary to fulfil your request. Thereafter, it’s destroyed.
