Terms of use

By using this site you agree to these terms. They're short because the site is simple: free articles, browser-based tools, and a way to ask us about engineering work by email. There are no accounts or purchases on the site.

The articles, checklists here are general information about privacy compliance. They may not reflect the latest changes in every jurisdiction, and they aren't a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer about your circumstances. Reading the site doesn't create a lawyer-client or any other professional relationship.

Quotes and services

The services described on this site are offered by Opsware. Sending a quote request to [email protected] doesn't create a contract. Any engagement starts only when both sides agree scope and terms in writing.

The tools

The buyer's checklist and self-audit produce estimates and scores from your inputs and our stated assumptions. They're planning aids, not measures of legal compliance.

Reusing our content

You're welcome to quote short passages with a link back to the page. You may print or save pages for internal use, including in training. Please don't republish whole articles or present them as your own.

Acceptable use

Don't attempt to disrupt the site, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, or scrape it in a way that degrades service for others. Ordinary search-engine and AI crawling is fine and allowed in our robots.txt.

We link to statutes, regulators and other resources. We don't control those sites and aren't responsible for their content or availability.

No warranty and limits of liability

The site is provided as-is. We work to keep it accurate but make no guarantee that it's complete or current, and to the extent the law allows we aren't liable for losses arising from reliance on it.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. Questions go to [email protected].
