This website is operated by Reform UK Party Ltd ("we", "our", or "us"), which is the data controller for the personal information collected through this reporting service.
This service allows members of the public to provide factual information about suspected illegal working. Reports are assessed and, where appropriate, may be shared with the relevant public authorities.
The purpose of this website is to receive reports relating to suspected illegal working so that appropriate information may, where considered necessary, be passed to the relevant enforcement authorities.
Reports are treated as allegations only.
Submitting a report does not establish that any offence has occurred and no assumptions will be made about any individual or business solely because a report has been received.
Depending upon the information you choose to provide, we may collect:
You may also choose to submit your report anonymously.
Unless specifically requested by a competent public authority, please do not submit:
We do not ask you to provide special category personal data, such as information about a person's racial or ethnic origin, health, religion, political opinions or sexual orientation, unless it is genuinely necessary and relevant to the report.
We process personal information under Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR (Legitimate Interests).
Our legitimate interests are:
Where reports contain information relating to alleged criminal offences, such information is handled in accordance with applicable provisions of the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Information submitted through this service may include allegations concerning the commission of an offence. Such information may constitute criminal offence data for the purposes of Article 10 UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Where we process criminal offence data, our lawful basis under Article 6 UK GDPR is Article 6(1)(f) (Legitimate Interests). In addition, for the purposes of Article 10 UK GDPR, we rely upon Schedule 1, Part 2, paragraph 10 of the Data Protection Act 2018 (preventing or detecting unlawful acts).
This processing is necessary for the purpose of receiving and assessing information concerning suspected unlawful activity and, where appropriate, preparing relevant information for disclosure to a competent public authority. The processing must take place without the consent of the individual concerned because seeking consent could prejudice the prevention or detection of unlawful acts.
Reports received through this service are treated as allegations only. Receipt of a report does not establish that an offence has been committed, and Reform UK does not determine criminal liability.
We ask reporters to provide factual information only.
Reports should be based upon genuine observations or information honestly believed to be true.
A report is not proof that unlawful activity has taken place.
Where appropriate, information may be shared with:
We will not publish reports received through this service.

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling when assessing reports submitted through this website.
All reports are subject to human review.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect information submitted through this service.
These measures include secure transmission, restricted staff access, audit logging and other appropriate security controls.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.
Reports which proceed to substantive assessment will normally be retained for two years from closure of the report.
Reports which are clearly irrelevant, malicious, unintelligible, duplicate, outside the purpose of the service or otherwise unnecessary will be deleted as soon as reasonably practicable following assessment.
Information may be retained for longer where necessary because of an active complaint, regulatory enquiry, legal proceedings, request from a competent public authority or another documented lawful reason.
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal information will be securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
Depending upon the circumstances, you may have the right to:
Certain rights may be restricted where providing information would prejudice the prevention or detection of crime, law enforcement activities or the rights and freedoms of others.
If you provide information about another individual, please ensure that it is relevant to your report and provided honestly and in good faith.
Do not include unnecessary personal information.
