Trust & Security

Sourced. Dated. Honest about what we are.

SortedUK handles serious moments in people's lives. So every answer can be checked, every mistake is logged in public, and your data stays yours.

What SortedUK is — and isn't

SortedUK is a free, plain-English help platform that signposts official UK sources.

It is not a government body, not a regulated financial or legal adviser, not a charity, and not a law firm. Where a decision is regulated, we route you to the right official body or free service.

📚

Official sources, every time

Answers cite the UK bodies behind them — GOV.UK, HMRC, DWP, NHS, councils and regulators — so you can check the rule yourself, not just take our word.

📅

Verification dates

Guidance carries last-checked dates and confidence levels, so you know how current it is before you act. Frozen AI training data can't do that.

🔒

Your data stays yours

Guides and checkers need no login, and what you save stays on your device unless you sign in to sync it. AI answers (Ask Sorted, Decode, Plain English, Life Scan) need a free account, and the text you send goes to our AI provider, Anthropic, to get the answer. We never sell user data, and never sell vulnerable users' data to anyone.

Mistakes logged in public

When we get something wrong, we correct it openly and date it — a public record, not a quiet edit. Accountability you can see.

🤖

AI used safely

AI explanations are grounded in official sources, lower their confidence when unsure, and never pretend to be legal or financial advice. A human route is always offered.

The promise we keep →
🤝

Free human escalation

Every serious moment routes to verified UK help — Citizens Advice, StepChange, Shelter, Samaritans and more — with no affiliate fees taken on the way.

Honest status on data protection: SortedUK is a trading name of CA Capital Limited (company no. 10848369), registered with the ICO as a data controller (reference C1968991). Without an account, SortedUK's servers store nothing you type, and saved cases stay on your device. With a free account, we store your email, name and postcode, a daily count of AI requests, and any cases you choose to sync, until you delete them or your account. AI features send the text you submit to Anthropic to get the answer.

What each tool does with your data

This table comes from one file, the capability registry. The line under each tool's heading uses the same file, so the table and the tool pages say the same thing. Guides and checkers need no account. AI answers need a free account (no card), and the text you send goes to our AI provider, Anthropic, to get the answer.
