Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy applies to everyone who uses OpesQ, including business administrators, staff members, passport holders, and marketplace specialists. By using the platform, you agree to follow this policy.

OpesQ is a business management platform designed for employment, HR, health and safety, compliance, training, quality management, and related activities. You may use OpesQ for:

• Managing staff records, rotas, timesheets, and payroll information
• Recording and managing HR processes, observations, and incidents
• Creating and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs)
• Tracking training, qualifications, and compliance requirements
• Quality management and auditing
• Communicating with staff through the platform's built-in tools
• Managing your professional passport and career records
• Offering or purchasing specialist services through the marketplace

You must not use OpesQ to:

• Break the law– use the platform for any purpose that violates UK law or any applicable regulation.
• Upload malicious content– upload viruses, malware, scripts, or any file intended to damage or interfere with the platform or other users' devices.
• Access other accounts– attempt to access, view, or modify another user's account, data, or business information without proper authorisation.
• Scrape or harvest data– use automated tools, bots, or scripts to extract data from the platform.
• Reverse engineer– attempt to decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any part of the OpesQ software.
• Misrepresent your identity– impersonate another person, create fake accounts, or provide false information during registration.
• Harass or discriminate– use the platform to harass, threaten, bully, or discriminate against any person.
• Store unrelated data– use OpesQ to store personal files, content, or data that is not related to employment, business management, or the platform's intended purpose.
• Overload the platform– deliberately attempt to disrupt, slow down, or overwhelm OpesQ's infrastructure.
• Circumvent security– attempt to bypass authentication, access controls, rate limits, or other security measures.

You are responsible for keeping your account secure. This means:

• Using a strong, unique password that you do not share with anyone
• Not sharing your login credentials with other people
• Logging out when using shared or public devices
• Notifying us immediately at hello@opesq.com if you suspect your account has been compromised

If you are a business administrator, you are also responsible for managing access within your organisation and ensuring your staff understand their obligations under this policy.

All content you create, upload, or share on OpesQ must be lawful, accurate, and relevant to business operations. This includes SOPs, documents, observations, notes, and any other material stored on the platform.

Content must not:

• Be offensive, abusive, threatening, or discriminatory
• Contain hate speech or material that incites violence
• Infringe on any person's intellectual property rights, privacy, or data protection rights
• Be deliberately misleading or fraudulent
• Contain personal data beyond what is necessary and lawful for the stated purpose

If you become aware of any use of OpesQ that violates this policy, please report it to us at hello@opesq.com. We take reports seriously and will investigate all credible reports promptly.

If you breach this policy, we may take one or more of the following actions depending on the severity and nature of the violation:

• Warning– a written notice explaining the breach and what needs to change.
• Suspension– temporary restriction of your access to part or all of the platform while we investigate.
• Termination– permanent removal of your account and access to OpesQ.

For serious breaches (such as illegal activity or deliberate data theft), we may terminate access immediately without prior warning. We may also report the matter to law enforcement or relevant regulatory bodies where required.

OpesQ reserves the right to:

• Monitor platform usage for security, performance, and compliance purposes. We do not read your business data as a matter of course, but we may access account activity logs to investigate reported violations or security incidents.
• Remove or restrict access to any content that violates this policy, without prior notice where necessary.
• Update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the platform or by email. Continued use after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this policy or need to report a concern, contact us at hello@opesq.com.
