Publisher Responsibility
Unless a different operating entity is expressly identified on this page, Online Safety is published under the responsibility of its named publisher. The publisher is responsible for the publication’s editorial governance, public policies, correction systems, commercial separation, and compliance processes.
If Online Safety begins operating through, or transfers control to, a company, partnership, foundation, association, trust, or other legal entity, this page will be updated to state the entity’s full legal name, registration number where applicable, jurisdiction, registered office, beneficial ownership or controlling interest, and the effective date of the change.
Ownership and Control
Editorial control currently rests with Arvind Hale. Online Safety does not claim to be owned, endorsed, licensed, or operated by a government, regulator, university, standards body, technology company, platform, political organization, or international institution unless a specific relationship is expressly and verifiably disclosed.
Material changes in ownership, beneficial control, or editorial authority will be disclosed without undue delay on this page and in the Editorial Transparency Report. Funding arrangements are addressed in the Editorial Funding and Financial Transparency page.

Legal Notices and Service
A notice sent by email is not automatically accepted as valid legal service merely because it was delivered to a publication address. The validity of service depends on applicable law, the nature of the proceeding, and confirmation by the authorized recipient. Online Safety will not use this provision to avoid legitimate regulatory or judicial communication.
Because the publisher does not publish a private residential address, a formal service address will be supplied to courts, regulators, and verified legal representatives where required by law. Requests must identify the sender, represented party, legal authority, relevant matter, and a reliable method of verification.
Jurisdiction and Applicable Law
Online Safety serves readers in multiple jurisdictions. Different laws may apply to editorial content, privacy, cookies, intellectual property, advertising, consumer protection, defamation, court reporting, and user submissions. Nothing on this page limits mandatory rights or obligations that apply regardless of the Terms of Use.
Disputes concerning use of the website are governed as described in the Terms of Use. Editorial complaints should ordinarily be raised through the published complaints procedure before litigation, where appropriate and without affecting a legal deadline.
No Regulatory or Professional Status
Online Safety provides journalism, analysis, commentary, and public information. It is not a law firm, medical provider, financial adviser, cybersecurity incident-response company, product-testing laboratory, certification authority, or regulator. Publication of an article does not certify that a product, person, organization, platform, or service is safe, lawful, secure, ethical, investable, or approved.
Intellectual Property and Licensing
Copyright and licensing are governed by the Copyright Policy and Terms of Use. Requests to reproduce, translate, syndicate, license, or commercially reuse content should be sent to legal@onlineSafety.org or advertising@onlineSafety.org, depending on the purpose.
