Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 May 2026

Who we are

This website, reedcapitalexposed.co.uk, is operated by an individual acting in a personal capacity as a victim of the transactions documented on this site. The site is not operated by a company, legal firm or regulatory body.

For data protection purposes the operator is the data controller. You can contact us at: jamie.craddock@btinternet.com

The site operator is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office. ICO registration number: ZC138552.

What data we collect

We only collect personal data that you voluntarily provide to us through the contact form on this site. This may include:

• Your name
• Your email address
• A property address (if applicable)
• Information about your experience with the parties named on this site
• Any other information you choose to include in your message

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any analytics tools that collect personal data. We do not collect data about visitors who do not submit the contact form.

Why we collect it

We collect your contact details and the information you provide for the following purposes:

• To respond to your enquiry
• To connect you with other victims of the same scheme where relevant and with your consent
• To build an evidential picture of the scale of the scheme for the purposes of potential legal action and regulatory complaints

The legal basis for processing your data is legitimate interests — specifically the legitimate interest of victims in identifying others affected by the same scheme and pursuing remedies.

How we store and protect your data

Contact form submissions are processed by Formspree (formspree.io) and delivered to the site operator by email. Formspree's privacy policy is available at formspree.io/legal/privacy-policy.

Your data is stored in email correspondence held by the site operator. We take reasonable steps to keep this secure. We do not store your data in any database, CRM or third-party platform beyond Formspree's processing of the initial submission.

Who we share your data with

We will not share your personal data with any third party without your explicit consent, except in the following circumstances:

• Where you have given us permission to share your details with other victims for the purposes of a group action
• Where we are legally required to do so — for example, in response to a court order or regulatory requirement
• Where sharing is necessary for the purposes of legal proceedings in which you are involved

We will never sell your personal data or share it for commercial purposes.

How long we keep your data

We will retain your data for as long as it is relevant to the ongoing matters documented on this site — which may be several years given the expected timescale of the Operation Hazel prosecution and any civil litigation. If you wish us to delete your data at any point, please contact us and we will do so promptly.

Your rights under UK GDPR

You have the following rights in relation to your personal data:

• Right of access — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to rectification — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data
• Right to erasure — you can ask us to delete your data
• Right to restrict processing — you can ask us to limit how we use your data
• Right to object — you can object to our processing of your data
• Right to data portability — you can ask us to provide your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at jamie.craddock@btinternet.com. We will respond within one month.

Cookies

This site does not set any first-party cookies. Formspree may set a cookie when you submit the contact form for security purposes. Google Search Console verification uses a DNS TXT record, not a cookie.

If you wish to block all cookies, you can do so through your browser settings. This will not affect your ability to read or navigate this site.

Links to other websites

This site contains links to external websites including gov.uk, sfo.gov.uk and reportfraud.police.uk. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We recommend you review their privacy policies separately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page will always reflect the most recent version. We encourage you to review it periodically.

Complaints

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113. Our ICO registration number is ZC138552.
