Everything else on the site works without an account or an email address.
The short version
- The site shows no advertising and sets no advertising cookies.
- It runs no analytics or tag-manager script and no social media widgets.
- Pages, downloads and the case search work without an account or an email address.
- The contact form stores what you type into it.
- The deadline-alert box stores your email address and the case you chose, and it is switched off at launch.
- The host sees connection data, as every web host does.
Who is responsible for your data
The publisher named on the imprint page is responsible for the data described here, and until the entity is confirmed the block below is a placeholder and the contact form is the way to reach the team.
- Controller: entity to be confirmed
- Address: to be confirmed
- Contact: the contact form
Nothing on this page names a person or a company yet, because that decision is still open. The imprint and contact page carries the same placeholder and will be updated at the same time as this block.
What is stored when you only read or download
Reading a page, using the case search or downloading a CSV or JSON file sends no form data to this site and creates no account. The site does not ask who you are before it shows you a court record.
The case search runs in your browser over a public index file, and every download is a static file. The only trace of a visit is the host's connection log, described below. The files themselves are listed on the open data: download the case records page.
What is stored when you send a message
The contact form stores your email address, your message and, if you give them, your name, the topic and the page concerned, together with the page you sent it from and the time, so the team can answer and find the statement you mean.
| Field | Stored | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address (required) | Yes | To reply to you |
| Name (optional) | Yes, if given | To address you |
| Topic (one of five options) | Yes | To route the message |
| Page concerned (optional) | Yes, if given | To find the statement you mean |
| Message (10 to 5,000 characters) | Yes | The content of your request |
| Page you sent it from | Yes | To give the message context |
| Date and time | Yes | To keep the order of requests |
| Hidden spam-trap field | No, only checked | To discard automated submissions |
The editorial team replies by email, usually within two working days.
What is stored when you ask for a deadline alert
The deadline-alert box, when it is switched on, stores your email address, the case identifier of the matter you chose and the page you were on, and it sends one email when a claim deadline, hearing or payment date for that matter changes.
The same address is stored once per case, so a second request for the same matter changes nothing.
The box is switched off at launch, so no alert address is stored today.
What this site does not do
The site runs no advertising, no affiliate link, no analytics or tag-manager script, no social media widget and no third-party font request at page load, and it sets no tracking cookie.
- The one typeface is served from the site itself, so no font service sees your visit.
- The only script on the page handles the two forms and stores nothing in your browser.
- Links to courts, regulators and administrators open like any other link and leave this site.
- No address from either form is exported, forwarded or used for marketing.
- No operator, law firm or advertiser receives any data from this site.
The reason is set out in our charter: no operators, no ads, no law-firm money, and this policy applies the same rule to personal data.
Who else sees the data: the host
The site is served by Cloudflare, which as the host processes connection data (IP address, requested page, time, browser string) in its logs and stores the two forms' data in Cloudflare Workers KV, a storage service of the host, on behalf of the publisher.
Cloudflare may set a technical cookie for security, and it publishes its own privacy notice. No other processor receives data from this site.
How long data is kept, and how to have it deleted
Messages are kept for as long as needed to answer and to document a correction, deadline-alert addresses until the matter's last recorded date has passed or you ask for deletion, and the exact periods are set in the placeholder below until the publisher confirms them.
- Retention of messages: 24 months, after which the host deletes the record automatically
- Retention of alert addresses: 24 months after the sign-up, after which the host deletes the record automatically, or earlier on request
To have your data deleted before then, write through the contact form from the address you used. The team confirms the deletion by email.
Your rights and how to use them
You can ask what is stored about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to the alert emails at any time, by writing through the contact form with the email address you used. The reply route is the same as for any message, and the imprint and contact page names the form.
- Applicable law and supervisory authority: to be confirmed
Which law applies depends on the country of the publishing entity, and this page states it once the entity is confirmed.

Questions people ask
Does the site set cookies?
The site itself sets no cookie and uses no tracking; the host may set a technical cookie for security, which this policy names once that is confirmed after launch.
Can I download the case records without giving an email address?
Yes, every file on the open-data page is a plain download under CC BY 4.0 with no form, account or email address. The files are listed on open data.
How do I stop deadline alerts?
Write through the contact form with the address you used and the alert is deleted; while the box is switched off at launch, no alert address is stored at all.
What this page does not cover
Court documents, administrator notices and regulator pages linked from case pages are published by their own organizations under their own policies; this policy covers only what this site stores.
The court records themselves are listed under all gambling lawsuits by category.
Sources and method
This policy describes the site as built on the date shown at the top of the page and is reviewed whenever a form, a script or a host setting changes; the way the case records are sourced is a separate matter, described on how every case is sourced and checked.
