Credit Reports Help
UK Data company listing policy

We are a credit reference agency. Our website ukdata.com carries the details of every UK and Irish limited company, of which there are over 3 million. These details are publicly available from The Registrar of Companies, in certain cases The Registry Trust and also from various other company data websites.

When a limited company is formed it has a legal obligation to share the details of all principles of that business. Disclosure has always been accepted as the price one pays for the privilege of limited liability and removal from our database would in any event have little impact on the availability of the information in the market.

Removal of Company Information

While we understand some companies have reservations about being listed, we carry no information that is not publicly available elsewhere in the public domain and therefore we cannot remove or change data on our website unless it is inaccurate. If you have found information which is inaccurate, please contact us via the form at the bottom of the page or contact us.

Removal of Director Information

All of the information provided on Shareholders and Officers (including Director and Company secretary) is public access information. All current and historical data is held at the Registrar of Companies and is open to the public. For more information on the removal of a home address see Removal of Director address.

Data Protection

Limited company data is not subject to the Data Protection Act although we are registered under The Data Protection Act - No.X3017729 and the Consumer Credit Act 1994 - No.377566. There are no Data Protection issues involved in the submission of company data.

If we were to supply consumer data, i.e. a personal credit check, then there are specific criteria’s which have to be met with regards to Data Protection. Before any consumer checks are carried out, the individual who is going to be checked has to sign a data disclosure form.
