Data Supply Charges & PAF® Licence Fees
Our pricing model consists of 2 elements;
-
Our charge for data supply according to the type and content of data, geographic coverage, and the number of updates required.
-
Royal Mail Licence fees which will depend on the level of data - "Full PAF®" or "Part PAF®", how the data is used, and how many end-users have access. There are also options to licence on a transactional basis.
-
"Full PAF®" means data at delivery point level including building names and numbers, organisation names and PO Boxes.
-
"Part PAF®" means data at postcode level or below including what used to be known as "Thoroughfare" and "Locality" level.

Please note that postcode data is supplied and licensed on a legal entity basis and must not be copied or distributed to any third parties.
Our unique price calculator covers most of the common options and will return the annual data supply charges and licence fees according to your parameters.
PAF® Licensing and the Data Protection Act 1998
PAF® is classed as personal data for the purposes of the Data Protection Act even though "Part PAF®" does not contain full address data. Some postcodes are unique to individual address, and postcodes can (in conjunction with other data) identify individuals.
Therefore data protection clauses are included in the Royal Mail licence terms.
Currently we can only supply postcode data for use within the EEC or other countries approved by the Information Commissioner's Office.
