Personal data

The pipeline files hold totals by area only. The firm list holds company names, numbers and registered offices exactly as Companies House publishes them, and names no director or other person. Some small companies use a home address as their registered office: use the list for business contact only, in line with UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.
