Privacy policy
Last updated: 11 November 2026
The short version. We do not collect, store or see your personal details. They stay on your phone.
Who we are
people.uk is a free app for reporting noise to public bodies. It is made and run by a volunteer, in a private capacity. It is not a government or council service.
What the app saves, and where
When you set up the app you enter your name, address and email. These are saved only on your phone.
- There is no account and no password.
- Your details are not sent to us, and we do not hold a copy.
- The app keeps a list of the reports you have made, with the time and type of noise, so it can show you a running count. That list also stays on your phone.
- You can change or delete your details in the app at any time. Deleting the app deletes everything.
When you send a report
The app writes an email for you and opens your own email app. You tap Send.
- The email is sent from your own email account, by you. The app never sends a report on its own and cannot see your emails.
- The email contains your name, address, email address, and the time and type of noise you reported.
- It goes to the public bodies listed in the app for your address: the council, the mayor, your councillors, your MP and the local police.
- We do not receive a copy.
Once you send a report, each public body that receives it handles your details under its own privacy policy.
Petitions
When you look at petitions, the app asks the UK Parliament petitions website for a list of open petitions. Nothing about you is sent.
Ideas you send us
The app lets you tell us what else you would like to report. If you choose to send ideas, only your ticks and anything you type are sent. Your name, address and email are not. Ideas are collected using a Google Form, so Google handles what you send.
Tracking, adverts and analytics
The app has none. It does not track you, show adverts or measure how you use it.
This website
This website does not use cookies, tracking or analytics. The company that hosts the website may keep basic technical logs, such as the internet address of a device that visits, to keep the site running and secure.
Children
The app is meant for adult residents reporting noise from their own home. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If the app changes in a way that affects your privacy, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
