Some pages render content that your browser requests directly from third-party services. When that happens, those providers see your IP address and browser information as part of the technical request. This is standard for any site that embeds maps or external media. The providers we currently load content from are:
- Esri and CARTO, for the satellite and label tiles shown on the counter-terrorism map;
- OpenStreetMap, for the confirmatory postcode map shown within the Local Crime Snapshot;
- Wikimedia Commons, for the national-flag graphics in the By Nation section.
Typefaces used on the site are self-hosted on our own domain so loading the site does not, by itself, send a request to any external font provider.
These providers process request data under their own privacy notices. We do not send them your form submissions, your postcode, or any identifier linking the request to you.
Our live news and counter-terrorism feeds (from gov.uk, the National Cyber Security Centre, Counter Terrorism Policing, GNET, Bellingcat, and similar sources) are fetched by our server, not your browser, so those providers do not see your IP address when you load the Intelligence Hub.
