Platform terms
Terms of Service
The terms that govern use of PDPA.COM.LK resources, tools, content, and advisory-service information.
Read this first
A practical platform, not a substitute for professional advice.
We designed PDPA.COM.LK to help people understand and prepare for privacy obligations. Your context, data processing, sector, and risk profile remain your responsibility to assess with suitably qualified advisers.
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using PDPA.COM.LK, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the website, its tools, resources, or related services. If you use the website on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have authority to accept these terms for that organisation.
2. Our services
PDPA.COM.LK provides educational content, practical resources, readiness tools, and information about privacy, cybersecurity, and implementation support. Content may change, be updated, or be withdrawn without prior notice as we improve the platform and respond to changes in applicable law or guidance.
3. No legal advice
Website content, assessment results, reports, templates, and communications are provided for general information and planning purposes only. They do not constitute legal advice, create a lawyer-client relationship, or guarantee compliance. Your organisation should obtain advice from qualified legal, privacy, and technical professionals for its specific circumstances.
4. Your responsibilities
You must use the website lawfully and responsibly. You must not interfere with website operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, misuse assessment tools, impersonate another person, or submit information that is unlawful, inaccurate, infringing, confidential without authority, or harmful to others.
5. Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, PDPA.COM.LK and its content, branding, design, text, tools, reports, templates, and materials are protected by intellectual-property rights. You may use publicly available materials for your internal, non-commercial reference, provided you do not remove attribution or proprietary notices. You may not reproduce, redistribute, sell, licence, or exploit materials without prior written permission.
6. Third-party websites and sources
The website may link to official sources, service providers, or other third-party websites for convenience. We do not control, endorse, or accept responsibility for third-party content, availability, privacy practices, security, or services. You access third-party sites at your own discretion and under their applicable terms.
7. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the website accurate, secure, and available, but do not promise uninterrupted, error-free, or completely current access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or part of the service at any time. You are responsible for maintaining suitable access, devices, software, connectivity, and safeguards for your use of the site.
8. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PDPA.COM.LK and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or loss-of-profit damages arising from or connected with use of, or inability to use, the website or its content. This includes reliance on general guidance, assessment outputs, external links, or downloadable materials.
9. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PDPA.COM.LK and its operators from claims, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses arising from your misuse of the website, your breach of these terms, or your violation of another person’s rights or applicable law.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Sri Lanka. Any dispute relating to these terms or the use of the website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Sri Lanka, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Updates to these terms
We may revise these Terms of Service to reflect changes in law, our services, or operational requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Continued use of the website after publication of updated terms constitutes acceptance of those changes.
