Terms of Service

Introduction

Welcome to gdprIQ (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of our website at gdpriq.com and all associated guides, calculators, and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of these terms, then you may not access the Service.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using gdprIQ, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time without prior notice. Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

Informational Use & Not Legal Advice

gdprIQ provides educational content and general-purpose tools for informational purposes only. Guides, articles, museum entries, and calculator results on the Service are informational and may be incomplete or out of date, and the Service is not a substitute for advice from a qualified data-protection lawyer or your supervisory authority. GDPR interpretation varies by case and jurisdiction, and regulations and regulatory guidance change over time. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to treat everything on it as general informational and educational content rather than legal advice, and to consult a qualified data-protection lawyer or your supervisory authority before making compliance decisions. Nothing on the Service creates a lawyer–client or advisory relationship.

Description of Service

gdprIQ provides free educational resources and practical tools, including:

• GDPR and data-privacy compliance guides — consent management, cross-border transfers, breach response, data retention, DSARs, and staff training
• Eight handy everyday calculators: age calculator, GPA calculator, percentage calculator, unit converter, date calculator, countdown timer, tip calculator, and random number generator — general-purpose utilities, not compliance tools
• The Museum of Privacy & Secrets and the Learn hub — educational collections drawn from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons

All guides and tools are provided free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time.

Check With a Professional When Needed

You are responsible for using your own judgment, and for seeking advice from a qualified data-protection lawyer or your supervisory authority, before making decisions about your organization’s compliance, data processing, or legal obligations. Our guides and tools are designed to assist and inform, not to replace professional advice or your own judgment.

Tool Accuracy and Disclaimers

Calculation Accuracy

Our calculators are provided for informational and convenience purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that all calculations will be error-free or suitable for your specific needs. Results are estimates based on widely accepted formulas and the figures you enter; actual outcomes may vary based on rounding, differing conventions, and individual circumstances.

No Guarantee of Results

gdprIQ makes no warranties, expressed or implied, and disclaims all other warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement of intellectual property or other violation of rights.

Compliance & Business Decisions

Privacy and compliance content on the Service is general and informational only and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified data-protection lawyer or your supervisory authority. Compliance outcomes depend on the facts of each case and the jurisdictions involved. Always treat our content as general guidance, not legal advice or a guarantee of results, use your own judgment, and take professional advice before acting on any compliance or business decision.
