Terms

Effective 30 August 2026. Version 1.1.

The information on this site is provided for general service information only. It does not constitute legal, financial, banking or investment advice.

DDNC provides transaction risk intelligence and evidence-based analysis to support informed commercial decisions. Any engagement is subject to agreed scope, availability of evidence and appropriate client instructions.

DDNC may update site content, service descriptions and pricing information from time to time.

Document Retention

Submitted documents, issued reports and activity records attached to each case are retained for 5 years after case closure, in compliance with applicable anti money laundering obligations. At the end of that period they are permanently deleted, backups included, within a maximum of 90 days after the retention period ends. The deletion is logged without retaining document content.

Deletion Requests

A client may request deletion of their documents. Access is withdrawn immediately upon request. Once accepted into the case record, the documents remain under restricted legal custody until the retention period ends. DDNC cannot delete them before that date because immutable compliance retention protects the integrity of the case record.

Data Location

Client documents are processed and stored in the European Union, Ireland region, on AWS infrastructure. Storage is encrypted at rest and in transit.

China Restriction

The client agrees not to submit, through the portal, personal data of individuals located in the People's Republic of China. DDNC refuses material that breaches this condition when identified during quarantine. If identified after acceptance into the case record, access is withdrawn and the material remains under restricted legal custody until the applicable retention period ends.

Incident Notification

In the event of a security incident affecting client documents or data, DDNC notifies the client within a maximum of 48 hours from becoming aware, stating the nature of the incident, the data affected and the measures taken.

Usage Limits

The service is subject to published technical usage limits intended to keep the platform available and secure for all clients. Uploads are limited to 50 MB per file and 20 files per submission. Accepted formats are PDF, JPG, PNG, DOCX and XLSX. Limits may be updated where required for security, availability or operational reasons.

Scope of Services

DDNC performs documentary forensic analysis, including file integrity verification, metadata, structure, revision history and signs of tampering. DDNC does not perform digital forensics on devices, data recovery, covert interviews or physical site visits.

Technology Assisted Review

DDNC uses technology assisted extraction and triage to organise and flag information. No conclusion, risk flag or report is issued solely by automated means. Every output is reviewed, validated and signed by an analyst.

Chain of Custody

Documents and analyses are kept with a documented chain of custody, including proof of integrity and a complete access log, so that they can be presented in arbitration or litigation proceedings. DDNC does not claim that its reports are admissible in court. Admissibility depends on the jurisdiction and may require a formally qualified expert.
