Terms of Use

Last updated 8 October 2026

About these terms

cyberuk.me is a personal website run by CyberUK, an individual based in the United Kingdom. By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it. How I handle personal data is covered separately in the privacy policy.

The security tools

The free tools (the password tester, recent breaches, security header checker, DNS & email checker, phishing link checker and hash & encoding toolkit) are provided for information and education only.

• Results are automated and may be incomplete or wrong. In particular, a link marked as having no warning signs can still be malicious, and a good header grade doesn't mean a site is secure.
• They aren't professional security, legal or financial advice. Don't rely on them alone for important decisions; check with a qualified professional where it matters.
• The tools may change, be limited or be taken offline at any time.

Acceptable use

When using the site and its tools, you must not:

• break the law, or use the tools to plan or carry out attacks on any system;
• send automated or high volumes of requests, try to get around rate limits, or otherwise overload the site or the sites it checks;
• try to reach private or internal systems through the checkers, or probe, scan or test this site's security without my permission;
• try to get into password-protected pages you haven't been given access to;
• send spam, abusive messages or malicious content through the contact form.

I may block access for anyone who breaks these rules.

Found a security problem with the site? Thank you. Please report it privately through the contact page rather than testing it further.

Content and intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the writing, code samples, images and design on this site are © CyberUK. You're welcome to share links and quote short extracts with credit and a link back. Please ask before reusing anything else.

The site is built on Once UI, used under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence. Other names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify them. Breach data comes from Have I Been Pwned under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence, and news headlines link to their original publishers.

If you believe something here infringes your rights, tell me through the contact page and I'll look into it promptly, removing it if needed.

Links to other sites

The site links to, and shows content from, other websites. I don't control them and am not responsible for their content, security or privacy practices.

Disclaimer and liability

The site and tools are provided free, “as is” and “as available”, without any promise that they will be accurate, complete, secure or always online.

As far as the law allows, I'm not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or the tools, or from relying on their results, including indirect loss, loss of data or loss of profit.

Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you're a consumer, your statutory rights where you live are not affected.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK, in the EU or in another country whose law gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts, you keep that right.

Changes

I may update these terms from time to time. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site means you accept the current version.
