Your rights

Right to object (Article 21)

We show director information on the basis of legitimate interests. You can object to this at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. When you object, we hide your profile while we review your request. We will then remove it unless we have compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, and we will explain our reasons if we decide that.

Right to erasure (Article 17)

You can ask us to delete your data, for example where you have objected and there are no overriding grounds, or where the data is no longer needed.

Right to rectification (Article 16)

If something we show is wrong or out of date, we will correct it. If the error is on the Companies House register itself, we will tell you how to fix it there.

Right of access (Article 15)

You can ask for a copy of all the personal data we hold about you.

What removal means

Your profile page is taken down and your name no longer appears in our search results.
Your name is shown as "Director details withheld" on company pages.
We ask Google and Bing to drop the old page from their results. This can take a few weeks on their side.
We keep a minimal record (your name, month and year of birth, and the date of your request) so that your profile stays hidden when the register updates. We use it for nothing else.

This does not change the Companies House register. Your information will still be public on the official register and on other sites that copy it. You can ask Companies House to protect your residential address, or remove some information from the public record, at gov.uk/government/organisations/companies-house.
