Your data.
Under your control.

Companies receiving data requests never have to pay to respond nor make an account with us
DATA CHECK — TAKES ABOUT TWO MINUTES

Find out who is holding
your data.

One email starts your check. We'll ask a few quick questions while the scan runs — then show you every company, breach and broker we find.

By starting a scan you authorise us to check your email against data brokers and breach databases on your behalf. See our Privacy notice.

UNDER UK GDPR

Companies hold your data. Brokers sell it. The person it describes gets nothing back — and no say.

The Data Union Café is a way for you to regain control through our 5 principles: data dignity, duty to the member, impartiality, confidentiality and solidarity.

Our values

Privacy and data dignity.

  1. 01Data dignity
  2. 02Duty to the member
  3. 03Impartiality
  4. 04Confidentiality
  5. 05Solidarity
Read our values

We believe the data economy needs better participation from institutions people trust: unions, co-ops, charities, and mission-driven businesses get discounted rates for their members.

For organisations
