Privacy
Short version: no analytics, no cookies, no tracking — and the names in the source register stay off every page.
What this site does not publish
The DVSA file names, on every row, the transport manager and the directors or partners of the operator, as natural persons. This site removes both while reading the file for its pages: they are on no page, in no search index, in no API and in no dataset we sell.
The same applies to the operating centre address. The file gives a full street address; the pages here keep only the postcode area — the one or two letters at the front. No page carries a street or a full postcode.
This matters because of what republishing would create. A register that is only downloadable as eight bulk files does not let anyone look up which haulage businesses a named person directs. A searchable, indexed site would.
The one exception: the dated licence check
The dated licence check is a report on one licence, prepared on request for a business vetting that operator — a shipper, a freight forwarder, a contractor. It reproduces what the DVSA publishes for that licence, including the names of the transport manager and of the directors or partners, and the operating centre addresses, and crosses them with Companies House and the Environment Agency register of waste carriers.
- Source: the DVSA operator licence records, Companies House and the Environment Agency, all public registers.
- Purpose and lawful basis: checking an operator before working with it, a legitimate interest of the requester (UK GDPR article 6(1)(f)). The register publishes these names precisely so that operators can be checked. The requester states the purpose when ordering.
- Who receives it: only the person who ordered that report. Nothing is published.
- How long: we keep a copy of a report for 12 months, then delete it.
- Your rights: if you are named in the register, you can ask what we hold about you, ask for a correction, or object to your name appearing in these reports, at the contact address. A correction of the register itself is made by the DVSA.
What your browser sends
No analytics, no advertising, no cookies, no third-party scripts. The site is static files.
Your search never reaches a server. The query lives in the
part of the address after the #, which browsers do not transmit.
The lookup is done in your browser against static index files. We cannot see
what you searched for, because it is not sent.
The hosting provider, Cloudflare Pages, records ordinary server logs — IP address, time, the file requested — as any host does. We do not have access to a per-visitor analytics view and do not run one.
If you send us a message
Three forms on this site collect an e-mail address: a request to move something, a request for bulk access or a dataset, and an order for a dated licence check. All are handled by Formspree, which forwards them to our mailbox.
What we do with what you send:
- Report orders — we prepare the report, send it with a payment link, and keep the order and the report for 12 months.
- Bulk access and dataset enquiries — we reply, and we keep the exchange while the enquiry is live and for as long as we have a business relationship.
- Haulage requirements — we reply, and we pass the requirement on to licensed operators so they can respond to you. That is the point of the form and it is what happens to your message. We do not sell lists, and we do not pass anything on if you tell us not to.
Ask us to delete what you have sent and we will, at the contact address. If you would rather not use a form, write to us there directly.
