Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 July 2026

Chronology Builder is designed so that I hold as little of your information as possible. This policy explains what little I do process, and your rights.

Your chronology never leaves your device

Everything you type into the chronology, including case details, party names and chronology entries, is processed locally in your web browser. The Word and PDF documents are generated on your device, and work saved with the Save Project feature is stored as a file on your own device. Your chronology is not uploaded to me or to anyone else. There is no server that receives it, and I cannot see it.

Your account

No account is needed to use the tool. If you choose to create an optional free account, I process:

• your email address and a password (held by my authentication provider, Google Firebase Authentication; I never see your password);
• whether you have accepted the terms of use.

I use this information only to operate your account. I do not send marketing emails, and I do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. You can ask me to delete your account at any time by emailing the address below.

Fonts and libraries

The site loads the JavaScript libraries that generate your documents from public content delivery networks. Those networks receive standard web request information, such as your IP address, but none of your chronology content.

Who I am

The data controller is Sarah Okafor, practising barrister in England and Wales, trading as Chambers of Sarah Okafor. ICO registration: ZA226741. Contact: [email protected].

Legal basis and retention

I process account data because it is necessary to provide the service you asked for (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(b)). Account data is kept until you ask me to delete it. I keep no copies of your chronologies at any time.

Where data is processed

Account data is processed by Google Firebase, which may store it outside the UK. Google provides appropriate safeguards recognised under UK GDPR for such transfers.

Your rights

You have the rights under UK GDPR to access, correct, delete and port your account data, and to object to or restrict processing. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk). To exercise any right, email me at the address above.
