Privacy notice

When you request research access, we store the name, email address, organisation, and intended use you type into the form, and the time you sent it.

To stop automated abuse, we also store a one-way, salted hash of your IP address for up to a day. We never store the address itself, and the hash cannot be used to find it.

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies and runs no third-party analytics. We do not buy, sell, or share personal data.

We use your request only to review it and reply to you. A small team at Meridian can read it. We do not add you to a mailing list.

We keep access requests for two years after our last reply, then delete them. You can ask us to delete yours sooner at any time.

You can ask for a copy of what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by replying to any email we have sent you.

If you are unhappy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority.
