CHART Data Protection Summary

Last updated: 22 June 2026

This page outlines the main data-protection position for CHART.

1. Overview

CHART uses a combination of public and licensed or open datasets where applicable, including Companies House-derived company information and other analytical sources used by the product.

It also processes account, support and service-operation data needed to provide a hosted business-to-business software service.

2. What CHART is designed to do

CHART helps professional users search, interpret and analyse UK company, governance, innovation, provider, project and local economic intelligence.

It is intended to support research, analysis, engagement and strategy work.

3. Customer and user responsibilities

Customers and users are responsible for:

  • using CHART with appropriate professional judgement;
  • verifying information that is material to legal, financial, regulatory or similarly high-impact decisions;
  • protecting account credentials and limiting access to authorised users; and
  • avoiding unnecessary personal data in comments, notes or saved workspace fields.

4. Interpretation safeguards

  • Data freshness, completeness and coverage vary by source and filing behaviour.
  • Some links between companies, people, providers or projects depend on matching or inferred relationships.
  • Outputs are intended for analytical decision support, not as definitive legal or financial conclusions.
