Know your rights โš–๏ธ

The Guardian Directory ยท Phase 1

Your company & rights directory ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Find companies, your rights, complaint routes and letters for purchases and contracts.

Companies are listed for navigation. Company-specific contact details, policies and escalation addresses are not yet independently verified. General UK guidance is not a guarantee of eligibility.

How Guardian helps

Choose a company, check the relevant consumer-rights guidance and start a tailored complaint letter. Attach your receipt or contract for a stronger case. Always confirm the correct complaint contact on the company's official website before sending.

Settings โš™๏ธ

Manage your data and review what is stored on this device or in your signed-in cloud account.

Data controls

The main receipt organiser and some tools store information on this device. The separate Cloud Library uses your signed-in Supabase account for cloud receipts, complaints and evidence. Exporting or resetting local demo data does not delete cloud records. Keep your own copies of important evidence.

โœ“ Cloud sign-in and basic receipt/complaint storage
โœ“ Receipt photo scanning (review extracted details)
โ—‹ Independent security and cross-device recovery checks
โ—‹ Verified company contacts and detailed rights rules
โ—‹ Gmail / Outlook integration and automatic checks
โ—‹ Account deletion and complete privacy documentation
โ—‹ Native iOS and Android release

Free beta and your data

Consumer Guardian is being prepared for a free beta. Some features are still experimental. Do not rely on it as your only record of a receipt, deadline or complaint. It provides general information, not personalised legal advice.

To stop using the local demo, export anything you need before choosing Reset demo. For cloud account or data deletion, please contact the service operator through the support channel you used to join the beta. An automated cloud account deletion process is not yet available. Never send passwords or sensitive evidence by ordinary email.
