Legal, privacy and IP positioning
TruePE asserts the same integrity protocols on its legal layer that it asserts on its protocol layer. Plain English; cited primitives; minimum-necessary data.
UK GDPR and ICO compliance
truepe.co.uk operates as a personal site stewarded by Ian Daniels (sole data controller for the purposes of UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018). The site collects only what is voluntarily submitted via the authenticated contact form — email address, message body, and the optional name / organisation / context fields you choose to provide.
Lawful basis: legitimate interests (responding to an unsolicited contact you initiated). You may request access, rectification, or erasure of your submission at any time by emailing legal@truepe.co.uk.
We do not sell, share, or use submitted data for marketing. Submissions are held in Vercel KV (Upstash Redis, EU-region) for up to 24 months and then deleted unless an active conversation requires retention.
ICO registration number: pending application. Until issued, processing is conducted under the exemption for personal / household use combined with the legitimate-interests basis above.
Cookies — minimal, auth-only
This site sets no analytics, tracking, or advertising cookies. The only cookies set are short-lived, first-party session tokens to complete the magic-link authentication flow on the contact form. They expire automatically and cannot be used to track you across other sites.
No third-party scripts are loaded other than Google Fonts (CSS only, no JS) for typography. We use Resend for transactional email delivery — Resend stores delivery metadata for 30 days under its own privacy policy.
Content licensing
Original written content on truepe.co.uk is © Ian Daniels 2026, licensed for personal reading under the implied browser-fetch licence. Reuse, redistribution, or training of language models on this content requires written permission.
All published static assets (images, downloadable PDFs) are signed with C2PA Content Credentials at build time. The signed manifest is the canonical record of authorship and integrity — any unsigned or re-encoded copy is to be treated as un-authenticated.
Third-party briefings linked from this site (Adobe Private Capital briefing, Mycelium strategy slide) remain the IP of their respective stewards and are reproduced with permission for operational continuity.
IP positioning — substrate vs wrapper
TruePE asserts its substrate identity layer through open W3C standards — W3C Decentralised Identifiers (DID), the C2PA content-provenance standard, and the CAWG creator-identity assertion. These are open primitives; nothing here competes with them.
Wrapper-level rights — including the selective-disclosure shortcode UX (the Sharing Shortcode), the wallet-of-agency UX layer, and the on-device LLM personalisation patterns — are asserted by Ian Daniels and the named co-authors of the underlying PREF design. Co-authorship and IP positions are documented separately and not surfaced here in detail.
If you believe content on this site infringes a right you hold, contact legal@truepe.co.uk with specifics and we will respond within 14 days.
Terms of use
Use of truepe.co.uk is permitted for personal browsing and bona fide professional inquiry only. Automated scraping, model-training extraction, and any use that circumvents the C2PA signature chain (re-encoding, stripping manifests, rehosting unsigned copies) are not permitted.
The site is provided as-is with no warranty. Information is operational rather than advisory — nothing here constitutes legal, financial, or investment advice.
English law governs. Jurisdiction: the courts of England and Wales.
