1. Who we are

Stagecheck is operated as a sole trader product by Rob Nickels, based in Devon, United Kingdom. For privacy enquiries, contact us at hello@stagecheck.co.uk.

Passwords are never stored in plain text. All data is transmitted over HTTPS.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, but no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

10. Children

Stagecheck is a professional tool intended for use by adults working in the built environment professions. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under the age of 18.

11. Disclaimer — limitation of liability

Stagecheck is a compliance aid, not a substitute for professional judgement.

The checklists, reminders, deliverable lists, and other content generated by Stagecheck are provided as a tool to support architectural professionals in managing project compliance. They are based on general best practice and current UK regulations at the time of writing.

Regulations, guidance, and best practice change over time. Stagecheck makes no guarantee that its content is current, complete, or applicable to any specific project. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure compliance with all applicable legislation and professional obligations.

Stagecheck accepts no liability for any loss, damage, claim, or professional consequence arising from reliance on the content of this application. Use of Stagecheck does not discharge any professional, statutory, or contractual duty of care.

If you are unsure whether a particular requirement applies to your project, consult the relevant regulatory body, building control authority, or a suitably qualified professional.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify users by email. Continued use of Stagecheck after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
