2. What these terms cover
These terms govern your access to and use of the site, including its guidance and the SAR deadline calculator. They do not govern the supply of Requests by Strata AI or any other Strata AI service, which is provided only under a separate written agreement.
If you use the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to accept these terms on its behalf.
3. Using the site
The site is free to use and is intended for organisations and individuals in the United Kingdom. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it without notice, and we do not guarantee it will always be available or free of errors.
You must not:
- use the site in any way that breaks the law or is fraudulent
- try to gain unauthorised access to the site, the server it is stored on or any connected system

- copy, reproduce or resell substantial parts of the site except as these terms allow
Search engines and AI systems are welcome to index, read and cite the site's public pages, as set out in our robots.txt and llms.txt.
4. The guidance is not legal advice
The guidance on the site is general information about UK data protection law, written to help organisations understand subject access requests. It is not legal advice, and you should not rely on it as such. The law and regulatory guidance change, and every request turns on its facts.
We make reasonable efforts to keep the content accurate and up to date, but we make no representation or warranty, express or implied, that it is accurate, complete or current. Take advice from a qualified legal professional before acting on a specific request.
5. The deadline calculator
The SAR deadline calculator gives an indicative date based on the method the Information Commissioner's Office publishes and the England and Wales bank holidays it holds. It runs entirely in your browser. Dates you enter are not sent to us or stored by us.
You are responsible for checking any deadline against the facts of your case and the current law. We are not liable for any loss arising from reliance on the calculator's result.
6. Intellectual property
We, or our licensors, own all intellectual property rights in the site and its content, including text, design, graphics and software. Strata AI and Requests by Strata AI are our trading and product names. The Cyber Essentials Plus logo is used under the terms of the scheme and remains the property of its owner.

7. Links to other sites

You may link to our home page or any public page, provided you do so fairly and lawfully and do not suggest any association with, approval of or endorsement by us where none exists.
8. Our liability
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales.
