Correct or remove an entry

If you are on this site and would rather not be, say so and the page will go. You do not have to give a reason and you will not be asked to justify it.

This edition has no page about you to remove. It publishes nothing about any named practitioner — see privacy. You can still ask for the held data about you to be deleted, and the request is actioned the same way: it is applied before anything is built, so it survives the next collection of the register and it holds if a later edition does publish names.

To remove an entry

Email dataprotection@assizedata.co.uk with the address of the page, or your name and the register you are on.

Why it stays gone

Removal is recorded against the register’s own identifier for your entry and applied when the site is built, before any page is written. That matters because you will still be on the regulator’s register: if the page were merely deleted, the next collection would find you again and put it back. Suppression at the source means the page is never created, and you leave no trace behind — no dangling link from a colleague, no gap in a town table, no count that does not add up.

It is recorded by identifier and never by name, because names are not unique and a name-based removal would either miss the person who asked or remove somebody who did not.

To correct an entry

Tell us what is wrong and it will be fixed, but read this first: almost everything here is reproduced from a regulator’s register, so if the register is wrong, correcting it here fixes one page and leaves the authoritative record wrong. The regulator is the place to start:

Two things this site derives rather than copies, and which are ours to fix: the split of a displayed name into forename and surname, and the separation of a free-text address into town and county. Both are described on methodology and both get things wrong.

Other rights

Access, objection, rectification and the rest are on privacy, along with who the controller is (Assize Data Ltd) and how to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.
