Privacy and cookies

How ADA uses cookies, storage and contact data

ADA uses essential cookies and browser storage to keep the service secure, remember choices and support the member portal. Optional analytics or marketing storage is not currently loaded by ADA and must not be introduced unless a visitor has chosen to allow it.

Your choices

Use the Privacy & accessibility button to accept or reject optional future analytics/marketing storage and to change accessibility settings. You can also clear browser storage at any time.

Newsletter and enquiries

Newsletter and enquiry forms send the details you submit to ADA and, where configured, HubSpot. Marketing consent is separate from service contact.

Member portal

Member-only areas use session cookies to protect access. Evidence, risk and assessment storage is still prototype-level until database and evidence storage are connected.

Contact

For privacy or accessibility requests, contact hello@whereisyourproof.com.

Prototype storage notice

Some member workspace records are currently stored only in the user's browser. That includes Foundation answers, risk entries, organisation-profile edits, member-forum prototype posts and the encrypted administrator audit trail. This is suitable for prototype use and early demonstration, but it is not the final production data-retention model.

Before ADA accepts real assessment evidence at scale, these records should move to controlled server-side storage with retention rules, access controls, backup/restore procedures and auditable deletion/export workflows.

Privacy choices

ADA uses essential cookies and storage only by default.

Essential cookies and local storage keep the site secure, remember your privacy/accessibility choices and support member login. ADA does not currently load analytics or advertising cookies; these choices are recorded so optional tools can only be introduced later with consent.
