Browsing the website transfers no intellectual property rights. Unless permitted by prior written authorisation, an applicable licence or law, copying, republication, distribution, translation, adaptation or exploitation of protected content, in whole or in part, is prohibited. Crediting Datastrophe does not replace permission where required. Ordinary links to publicly accessible pages are permitted provided they do not imply a nonexistent affiliation or endorsement.

In Ireland, the permitted acts under the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000, as amended, remain available. These include qualifying fair dealing for research, private study, criticism or review, subject to the applicable conditions and acknowledgements.
