Editorial standards.

How our content is researched, cited, and reviewed.

The law is precise, and our writing must be too. We hold our public content to the following standards:

  • Primary sources only: Every factual claim about the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 or the Data Protection Act 2018 cites the source text or official ICO guidance.
  • No fabricated authors: We do not invent personas. Content written by our team is published under the byline "TheDutyDesk Editorial".
  • No AI hallucination: We do not publish unreviewed AI-generated legal interpretations.
  • Plain English: We translate legal requirements into operational realities without losing technical precision.
