Privacy notice.

Information we collect

We do not collect any information that identifies you. The intake form has no field for your name, email address, phone number, or any other identifier, and no such value is stored with your case.

When you submit a complaint we collect only what you choose to write: the employer name, work location, city, county, supervisor or manager name, HR contact, job title, employment status, and a single written account of what happened. There are no category checkboxes, no date fields, and no attachment fields.

Information we do not collect

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, account credentials, social security number, financial account information, medical records, or immigration status.

We do not accept attachments of any kind — no photographs, screenshots, documents, or files. Nothing is uploaded with a case.

We do not collect browsing analytics, advertising identifiers, device fingerprints, IP addresses as case data, or third-party tracking cookies.

Because the account is yours alone, we cannot screen it for your own name. Please do not include your own name, contact details, or any of the sensitive information above — a description naming you defeats the anonymity the form provides.

How information is used

Information you submit is used to create and maintain a case file, to organise your account, to determine the current stage of your complaint, and to put your account to your employer.

Information is never sold, rented, or shared for marketing purposes.

Anonymity

Every complaint submitted through this form is anonymous. Anonymity is not a setting you choose; it is the only mode the form has. There is no identity field to complete and no opt-in path that would attach your details to a case.

Cases are tracked by case number alone. Because no contact details are held, no attempt will be made to contact you, and a case note or status change never records an outreach that did not happen.

If you want to add to a case, submit a new complaint and reference the earlier case number.

Access and security

Complaint records are intended to be accessible only to authorised NCWA case reviewers handling intake. Reviewers are instructed not to add identifying detail to case notes.

This website is currently a frontend prototype. Records submitted through it are stored unencrypted in your own web browser, and the demonstration access control can be bypassed by anyone with browser developer tools. No real confidential employee information should be submitted to this build.

Retention

We retain case files for as long as necessary to support the complaint and to provide the resources relevant to it. Closed files are archived rather than deleted immediately.

Because this prototype stores everything in your browser, clearing your browser data deletes your records permanently. There is no server-side copy and no backup.

Your choices

You may choose not to provide any optional information, and you may leave the entire written description brief. You may check the status of your case at any time using your case number.

Because we hold nothing that identifies you, a request for a copy of the information associated with your case cannot be matched to a person. If you need a copy of what you submitted, use the case number together with the description you wrote, and contact intake@ncwa-advocates.org.

Contact

Questions about this notice can be sent to intake@ncwa-advocates.org. Please do not send confidential details by ordinary email.
