These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of cybersafe.news (the “website”), operated by Cybersafe News (“we”, “us”, “our”). By using the website you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.
Contents
1. About the website
Cybersafe News publishes news, analysis and practical guidance about cyber security, data breaches, privacy and technology. The website is free to read. We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of it at any time.
2. News and information, not professional advice
Our content is published for general information and journalistic purposes. It is not legal, financial, technical, security or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice tailored to your circumstances. Security threats and vulnerabilities change quickly; information that was accurate when published may become outdated. Before acting on anything you read here – for example applying a patch, changing configurations or responding to an incident – verify it with the relevant vendor, official advisories or a qualified professional. Any action you take based on our content is at your own risk.
Responsible use of security information. Some articles describe how attacks or vulnerabilities work so that readers can understand and defend against them. You must not use any information from this website to access systems, networks or data without authorisation, or for any other unlawful purpose.
3. Acceptable use
When using the website you agree not to:
- break any applicable law or regulation, or encourage anyone else to do so;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, its servers or databases, probe or scan it for vulnerabilities without our written permission, or interfere with its security features;
- disrupt or overload the website, for example through denial-of-service attacks, excessive automated requests or by introducing malware;
- scrape, copy or harvest content or personal data in bulk by automated means, or use our content to train or build commercial datasets, except as permitted by law or with our written permission (normal search-engine indexing and feed readers are permitted);
- impersonate any person or organisation, or misrepresent your affiliation with anyone;
- send spam or unsolicited promotions through our forms or comments.
If you believe you have found a security vulnerability in our website, please report it to us privately through the contact page and give us reasonable time to fix it before disclosing it. We appreciate responsible disclosure.
4. Intellectual property and copyright
Unless stated otherwise, the content on this website – including articles, headlines, images we create, graphics, logos, the Cybersafe News name and brand, and the design of the website – is owned by or licensed to Cybersafe News and is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws. Third-party trade marks, logos and images belong to their respective owners and are used for news reporting and identification purposes.
You may read, share links to and print or save individual articles for your personal, non-commercial use. You may quote short extracts with clear attribution and a link to the original article. Any other reproduction, republication, distribution or commercial use requires our prior written permission.
If you believe content on our website infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us with details of the content, the rights you claim and your contact information, and we will review it promptly.
5. Comments and user contributions
- You are responsible for anything you post. Comments must be relevant, respectful and lawful. Do not post content that is defamatory, abusive, hateful, harassing, obscene, misleading, infringes someone else’s rights, reveals another person’s personal data, contains malware or exploit code intended for misuse, or advertises products or services.
- Comments are moderated. We may hold, edit (for example to remove personal data or links), refuse, remove or mark as spam any comment at our discretion, and we may close comments on an article at any time. Moderation does not mean we endorse the views expressed.
- You keep ownership of your comments. By submitting a comment, you grant Cybersafe News a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to publish, display, reproduce, edit for length or clarity, and distribute it in connection with the website and our publication, including in feeds and archives.
- Information you send us through the contact form – such as story tips – may be used in our reporting. We will not identify you as a source without your permission.
6. Links to third-party websites
Our articles link to third-party websites, such as vendor advisories, research reports and other publications. These links are provided for convenience and reference. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, security, availability or privacy practices of those websites, and a link does not imply endorsement. Embedded content (for example videos) is provided by third parties under their own terms.
7. Disclaimers
We work hard to make our reporting accurate, fair and up to date, and we correct errors when we become aware of them – please tell us if you spot one. However, the website and its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, although we take security very seriously.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Cybersafe News and its editors, contributors and staff will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profits, revenue, business or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the website or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, such as liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, these terms do not affect your statutory rights.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy explain how we collect and use personal data and cookies when you use the website.
10. Governing law
These terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or your use of the website, are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Cybersafe News is established, and the courts of that jurisdiction will have jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection laws and rights you may have in the country where you live.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised. Continuing to use the website after changes are published means you accept the updated terms.
12. Contact us
If you have any questions about these terms, please contact us through our contact page.
