Privacy Policy
Last updated 30 July 2026
Compass connects people who need UK immigration help with regulated professionals. This page says plainly what personal data we hold, why, and what you can do about it.
What we collect
Your account details (name, email, country, language and a hashed password, never the password itself), the answers you give in the structured intake form, the documents you upload, which are read automatically and cross-checked against your answers, and an audit trail of what happened on your file.
How we use it
To run your case: your form answers and documents build the evidence file a professional reviews, and your email is used to sign you in, to send you the save-and-continue links that reopen your form, and for messages about your case. Matching you with an adviser is done by hand by our internal team. No payment is taken in the product. We don't advertise to you and we never sell your data.
Automated document reading
Documents you upload are read automatically so your checklist can fill itself in. We use Google Gemini as our processor for this reading; it transcribes what the document says, nothing more, and it never decides anything about your case.
Who sees it
The regulated professional our team matches to your case sees your file, that is the point of the service. Our hosting providers process data on our behalf under contract. Nobody else.
How long we keep it
| Draft cases | Erased automatically after 30 days. |
| Submitted cases | Kept while your case is active, on the legal-claims basis. |
| Deletion | On request at any time, in Settings or by email. |
Criminal-offence data
Answers about criminal history are handled under the safeguards of GDPR Article 10: seen only by our internal team and the regulated adviser on your case, and never used for anything else.
Your rights
You can download everything we hold about you (Settings → Download my data) and you can erase your account and all its cases (Settings → Delete my account and data). You also have the full set of GDPR rights, access, rectification, objection, complaint to the ICO.
