1. Purpose of the website

Duede is an independent information and research platform intended to promote transparency, accountability and informed public understanding of political figures, public officials and other politically exposed persons (PEPs).

Information published on this website is provided for general informational, educational and research purposes only.

2. Sources and accuracy of information

Duede compiles and analyses information obtained from publicly accessible sources, including official government records, corporate filings, court records, news publications, public statements and other available materials.

Summaries, ratings and answers on Duede are prepared with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) from those sources. AI can misread or misstate a source, so each item links to where it came from.

While reasonable efforts are made to verify the accuracy and reliability of information, the website owners and operators do not guarantee that all information is complete, accurate, current or free from error.

Information may change over time, and certain records may be incomplete, disputed or subsequently corrected.

3. No presumption of wrongdoing

The inclusion of any individual on this website does not imply criminal conduct, corruption, misconduct, dishonesty or any other wrongdoing.

References to allegations, investigations, legal proceedings or controversies must not be interpreted as findings of guilt or liability unless established by a competent authority.

Where reasonably practicable, Duede distinguishes verified facts from allegations, opinions and analytical assessments.

4. Independent analysis and opinions

Any risk assessments, ratings, conclusions, forecasts or commentary published on Duede, including answers from its AI guide, represent analytical opinions based on information available at the time of assessment.

Such assessments are not official determinations and should not be treated as definitive judgments concerning an individual's integrity, suitability for office or legal standing.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the website owners, administrators, researchers and contributors shall not be liable for losses or damages arising from reliance on information published on this website.

Users are encouraged to independently verify information before making decisions based on the website's content.

Nothing in this disclaimer excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Right of reply and corrections

Duede supports fairness, accuracy and responsible publication.

Any individual who believes that information published about them is inaccurate, misleading, outdated or incomplete may submit a request for review, correction or clarification, together with relevant supporting evidence, through the Contact & feedback page.

The website operators will assess such requests reasonably and make corrections where warranted.

7. No political affiliation or endorsement

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Duede does not represent, endorse or act on behalf of any political party, candidate, government agency or political organisation.

Publication of information about any individual does not constitute political support or opposition.
