This notice explains how The Red Book uses information under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. It is a working fiscal ledger in your browser. It is not an HM Treasury service and it does not open an account for you.
Who is the controller
The operator of this app is the data controller for any personal data that appears on this device. No organisation behind the ledger receives your minutes. Nothing is sent to a server for profiling, advertising or analytics.
What is stored, and why
- Ledger data. Treasury minutes, stress-scenario toggles and unfinished sliders. Stored in your browser under a local key so the desk survives a refresh. Lawful basis: legitimate interests in running the tool you asked for, and PECR storage that is strictly necessary for that service.
- Privacy choice. Whether you have seen this notice. Lawful basis: legal obligation to inform you, and consent recorded on this device.
Do not type names, National Insurance numbers, health records or other personal data into minute reasons. The fields are for fiscal narrative, not casework.
What we do not do
No user accounts. No cookies for advertising. No sale of data. No special-category data is requested. No automated decision with legal effect. Server logs, if any, are those of the host platform for delivering the page — not a profile of your ledger.
Third parties
Type is loaded from Google Fonts. That request can include your IP address and is a transfer outside the UK. It is used only to render the page. The live preview may also be framed by the host. Neither is used to build a marketing file.
Retention
Data stays on this device until you wipe it, clear site data, or the browser expires local storage. There is no cloud copy to keep or to export from us.
Your rights
You can access what is stored by using the ledger itself. You can erase it with Wipe this device below, or by clearing the site in your browser. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk. Because we never receive a copy, we cannot fulfil a subject-access request from our side — there is nothing held off the device.
Wipe this device
This erases minutes, drafts, scenarios and the privacy choice from local storage. The next visit will show the notice again.
