Terms of Use

About these terms

These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of 123dpo.com and all content, tools, and services available on it ("the Website"). The Website is operated by Net Essence Ltd ("we", "us", "our"), a company registered in England & Wales (No. 07006023), with registered office at Legacy Centre, Hampton Road West, Feltham, TW13 6DH.

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

Use of the website

You may use 123dpo.com for lawful purposes only. Specifically, you must not:

• Use the Website in any way that violates applicable UK or international law or regulation

• Engage in any conduct that disrupts, damages, or impairs the Website or its availability
• Scrape, crawl, or systematically extract content from the Website for commercial purposes without our written consent

The self-assessment tool

Our AI Governance Self-Assessment generates a Red/Amber/Green report based on your responses. This report is an automated output designed to help you understand your organisation's governance position relative to common frameworks. It is not a legal assessment, a regulatory audit, or a compliance certification. The results:

• Are based solely on the information you provide and may not reflect your complete organisational position
• Should be treated as a starting point for your governance work, not a definitive assessment
• Do not represent advice from a qualified DPO, solicitor, or compliance professional
• Should not be used as evidence of compliance in any regulatory, legal, or contractual context

Downloadable templates and tools

Templates and tools available for download are provided as a starting point only. They are general-purpose documents that you will need to adapt to your specific organisational context, sector requirements, and applicable regulations. We make no representation that any template, as downloaded, will be suitable for your specific circumstances or constitute a legally compliant document.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Website and all content, tools, and resources on it are provided "as is" and "as available" without any warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components.

While we take care to ensure the accuracy and currency of information on 123dpo.com, the regulatory landscape for AI governance and data protection is evolving rapidly. Information may become outdated. You should verify any regulatory requirements with current authoritative sources, including the ICO (ico.org.uk) and relevant sector regulators.
