These terms explain how you can use The Tech Blog (thetechblog.org) and what you can expect from us in return. We have kept them short and in plain English. By using this site, you agree to them.
Who we are
The Tech Blog is a small, independent website that publishes practical tech help, security alerts and big tech news written for everyday readers. When these terms say “we”, “us” or “our”, they mean the people who run this site. When they say “you”, they mean anyone reading or using it.
Using our content
Everything we publish is for general information and personal use. You are welcome to:
- Read, bookmark and print articles for your own reference.
- Share links to our pages on social media, in forums or by message.
- Quote a short excerpt in your own work, as long as you credit The Tech Blog as the source.
You may not:
- Copy or republish full articles, or large parts of them, on another website, app, newsletter or publication without our written permission.
- Present our work as your own or remove credit from it.
- Sell, license or otherwise make money from our content.
- Use automated tools to scrape or bulk-download the site, including for building datasets or training AI models, without our permission.
The text, original images and layout of this site belong to us unless we say otherwise. Some images or materials belong to their original owners and are used with permission or under the relevant licence.
Not professional advice
Our guides and explainers are written to help, but they are general information. They are not professional IT, cybersecurity, legal or financial advice, and they do not replace advice from someone who can look at your specific setup.
Tech problems vary a lot from one device or account to the next. Before you follow any step-by-step guide on this site:
- Back up anything you cannot afford to lose.
- Check that the steps match your device, operating system and software version.
- Stop and get professional help if something looks different from what we describe, or if the stakes are high (a business network, financial accounts or sensitive data, for example).
If you choose to follow our instructions, you do so at your own risk.
Security alerts
We publish alerts about scams, data breaches, vulnerabilities and urgent updates to help readers act quickly. These posts are based on the best information available when we write them. Situations change fast, so always confirm details with the affected company, the software vendor or an official security body before taking action. Our alerts are a starting point, not the final word.
Accuracy and updates
We work hard to get things right. We check facts, use reliable sources and correct mistakes when we find them. Even so, technology changes constantly. Prices go up, features disappear, settings move to a different menu, and news develops after we publish.
That means:
- Some information on this site may be out of date or incomplete.
- We may update, correct or remove content at any time without notice.
- We do not promise that every article is current on the day you read it.
If you spot an error, please tell us through the contact page. We would rather fix it than leave it up.
External links and third-party services
Our articles sometimes point to other websites, apps, tools and services. We include them because we think they are relevant, but we do not control them and we are not responsible for their content, security, privacy practices or availability. Using a third-party site or download is between you and that provider, under their own terms.
A mention on this site is not an endorsement unless we clearly say so.
Trademarks
Product names, company names, logos and brands mentioned on this site belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify the products and companies we are writing about. The Tech Blog is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any of these companies unless we state otherwise in a specific article.
Acceptable use
Please use this site in a fair and lawful way. You agree not to:
- Break any law while using the site.
- Try to hack, overload, disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or any connected systems.
- Upload or send malware, spam or anything designed to cause harm.
- Impersonate us or anyone else.
- Use the site to harass, threaten or mislead other people.
If the site ever offers comments or other ways to submit content, you are responsible for what you post. We may remove anything we consider unlawful, abusive, off-topic or spammy, and we may block access for anyone who misuses the site.
Site availability
We aim to keep the site online and working, but we cannot guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or free of interruptions. We may change, pause or remove any part of the site at any time.
Limitation of liability
This site is provided “as is”. In plain words: we offer our content in good faith, but we cannot accept responsibility for losses that come from using it.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of this site, from relying on its content, or from using any external site or service we link to. This includes lost data, damaged devices, lost income and security incidents.
Some places do not allow certain liability to be limited or excluded. Nothing in these terms takes away rights you have under the law that cannot be removed by agreement.
Privacy
How we handle any personal information is explained in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of how you use this site.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we add new features or when the law changes. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If you keep using the site after an update, you accept the revised terms. We suggest checking back now and then.
Questions
If anything in these terms is unclear, or you want to ask about using our content, please get in touch through the contact page on this site.
