Terms of Service

Last updated 13 July 2026. This is a plain-English statement of the terms on which Dataface is provided. It is not legal advice.

1. What Dataface is

Dataface is an early-warning intelligence tool for authorised financial-services professionals. It presents information drawn from publicly available sources — including Companies House, The Gazette and the Financial Conduct Authority register — for review.

2. Publicly available sources, streamed — not stored

All information shown comes from publicly available records only. It is streamed from those sources to provide the service; we do not store it for any length of time — it is streamed only to present it to you. Data may be cached for up to 30 days for site performance, after which it is refreshed from the source. You can request an on-demand refresh at any time.

3. Verify everything at the source

Dataface is a signposting and review tool, not a system of record. All figures and facts must be double-checked against their original source before you rely on or act on them. Do not use the information as the sole basis for any decision.

4. Factual, not an adjudication

Dataface presents factual public records for your review. It does not adjudicate, score, or make allegations about any person or company. A company’s status — for example administration, liquidation or dissolution — is stated as a fact from the public record, never as a judgement.

5. Access & usage records

Access is limited to approved email domains (financial-services providers, the FCA, and Dataface). By requesting a sign-in link and signing in, you confirm you are authorised to use the service and you accept these terms. For security and to improve the service, we keep a record of sign-ins and of the pages each signed-in user views.

6. No liability

The service is provided free of charge, “as is”, with no warranty as to accuracy, completeness or fitness for any purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dataface accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from use of, or reliance on, the information provided. Always verify at the source.

7. Acceptable use

Use the service only for legitimate professional purposes. Do not scrape, resell, or use the information to harass any individual or to make decisions that unlawfully affect any person.

8. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
