Legal & Transparency

These Terms govern your access to CyberWatch SMB, including the website, dashboard, data feeds, and any publications made available through this platform.

By accessing or using the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

The Service is provided free of charge for informational and research purposes. You may:

Access and browse the dashboard for personal, educational, journalistic, or internal business research.

Reference and cite our data in reports, articles, or presentations, with clear attribution to CyberWatch SMB and a link to the original source where applicable.

Share links to specific incidents or pages with colleagues, clients, or the public.

Commercial resale. You may not sell, license, or redistribute data or derivative datasets without prior written consent.

Systematic scraping. Automated bulk downloading beyond the official CSV export is prohibited.

Misrepresentation. You may not present our data as your own original research or remove attribution.

Harmful use. You may not use the Service to facilitate harassment or harm against any organization named in our database.

The underlying incident data is derived from public sources. We do not claim ownership of this factual information.

Our proprietary elements — severity scoring methodology, database structure, classification taxonomy, visual design, written analysis, and software — are the intellectual property of CyberWatch SMB and protected by applicable copyright law.

CyberWatch SMB aggregates data using automated NLP. Known limitations include classification errors (8–12% misclassification rate), incomplete data in many fields, and reliance on third-party source accuracy.

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. See our Methodology — Limitations for full detail.

Nothing published on CyberWatch SMB constitutes legal, regulatory, financial, or cybersecurity advice. The information is for general awareness only.

Do not rely on this Service as a substitute for professional legal counsel regarding breach obligations, regulatory compliance, or incident response.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CyberWatch SMB and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of or reliance on the Service or the data it contains.

Each incident includes a link to the original public source. CyberWatch SMB does not endorse or take responsibility for third-party content. External links may become unavailable or change after indexing.

If a linked source contains inaccurate information, contact the source directly. If the error is in our classification or presentation, use the correction form below.

If you believe an incident contains an error — in classification, company identification, data figures, or any other field — we want to know.

What we will do. We review every request. If substantiated by verifiable evidence, we update the record and note the correction in our changelog. We aim to respond within 5 business days.

What we will not do. We will not remove an incident solely because an organization prefers it not be listed. If publicly disclosed by a credible source, it is part of the public record.

Right to erasure (GDPR Art. 17). If your personal data has been incorrectly included, select "Personal data erasure request" in the form below. We will respond within the legally required timeframe.
