What It Will Not Do
It is not a lawyer. It does not give legal advice or replace a legal opinion.
Do not paste real personal data (NIC numbers, customer lists, medical records) into the chat. Describe the situation instead.
It does not register you with, or file anything to, the Data Protection Authority.
Laws and regulations change. Confirm important points against the official Act and the Data Protection Authority before you act.
