Apocalypse Clock: Legal Notice, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Licence and Intellectual Property Notice
This website is provided exclusively for informational, educational, research, editorial, and comparative analytical purposes. It does not sell products or services, does not provide user accounts, does not operate a newsletter, and does not intentionally collect submissions through on-site forms.
Overview
This page sets out the legal notice, terms of use, privacy information, cookie notice, and licence / intellectual property notice for Apocalypse Clock. It is drafted for a website that is primarily informational and analytical, does not sell goods or services, does not offer user registration, and does not intentionally operate direct on-site data-submission forms.
The site may still involve limited technical processing through its hosting and platform infrastructure, including security, session, rendering, and operational cookies or similar storage items. Contact with the operator may take place externally through email.
Operator. This website, Apocalypse Clock, is operated by Roman Jerse ("Operator", "we", "us", or "our").
Acceptance by use. By accessing or using this website, you agree to this notice and these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.
No professional, fiduciary, or contractual relationship. Access to or use of this website does not create any advisory, consultancy, fiduciary, employment, agency, partnership, contractual, professional-client, or other special relationship between the Operator and any user, except where mandatory law expressly provides otherwise.
Nature of the website. Apocalypse Clock is provided solely for informational, educational, research, editorial, and comparative analytical purposes. The website, its timelines, visualisations, scores, rankings, summaries, methodology texts, commentaries, and related materials are not legal, medical, financial, investment, engineering, emergency-management, public-policy, or other professional advice.
Analytical and editorial nature. Apocalypse Clock is a comparative and interpretive analytical framework. It does not predict future events with certainty and does not guarantee the correctness, completeness, reliability, suitability, or real-world outcome of any timeline, estimate, ranking, score, probability, interpretation, commentary, model output, or methodological statement published on the site.
AI-assisted materials. Certain data, summaries, analytical materials, and draft outputs may have been compiled, processed, checked, or assisted by Claude, GPT-based systems, and other computational tools. Although substantial care and editorial review may have been applied, inaccuracies, omissions, interpretive errors, model limitations, source distortions, outdated material, or other deviations may occur.
No warranties. The website and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator makes no express, implied, statutory, or other warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, timeliness, reliability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, availability, continuity, non-infringement, compatibility, security, uninterrupted operation, or error-free performance.
Use at own risk. All access to, use of, interpretation of, republication of, redistribution of, and reliance on this website and any content are entirely at the user's own risk. Users are solely responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it and for determining whether any material is appropriate for their intended use, context, jurisdiction, or decision-making environment.
Prohibited reliance in high-risk contexts. This website must not be used as the sole or primary basis for decisions in any high-risk, safety-critical, regulated, legal, medical, financial, insurance, infrastructure, defence, intelligence, emergency-response, critical-infrastructure, disaster-management, weapons-related, or other context where material harm could arise from error, omission, delay, simplification, or misinterpretation.
Permitted use. Subject to applicable law and any stated licence, the public website may be accessed for lawful informational reference. No right is granted to use the website or its content in a misleading, unlawful, deceptive, defamatory, infringing, abusive, malicious, or technically harmful manner.
Restricted conduct. Except where mandatory law or an express licence clearly permits otherwise, you may not circumvent security features; interfere with the website; scrape or systematically extract non-licensed material; create substitute datasets from protected site material; mirror or frame the website in a misleading way; remove attribution or notices; use reserved code or brand elements; or use protected site materials for deceptive automation, misrepresentation, or unauthorised model training.
No responsibility for use or misuse. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator assumes no responsibility and accepts no liability for any action, omission, decision, interpretation, publication, republication, communication, implementation, operationalisation, or other use or misuse of the website or any content, whether by an individual, organisation, public authority, company, researcher, journalist, investor, developer, or any other person.
Limitation of liability. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, economic, reputational, regulatory, operational, data-related, business-interruption, loss-of-opportunity, loss-of-profit, loss-of-revenue, loss-of-savings, or other loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, or claim arising out of or related to access to, use of, inability to use, misuse of, republication of, or reliance upon this website or any of its content.
No duty to update or monitor. The Operator has no obligation to update, correct, complete, monitor, remove, or continue to publish any content, even where content later becomes incomplete, outdated, superseded, disputed, controversial, or inaccurate.
User responsibility and indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any person using, sharing, quoting, embedding, republishing, or relying on this website is solely responsible for their own acts and omissions and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Operator against claims, losses, costs, and liabilities arising from unlawful use of the website, breach of these terms, or misuse of the content by that person.
Third-party links and services. The website may contain links to or rely on third-party websites, services, hosting layers, analytics layers, embedded components, or infrastructure providers. Such links or technical dependencies are provided for convenience or operation only. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party websites, content, policies, availability, or practices.
Changes, severability, and no waiver. We may update, modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the website or these notices at any time. The latest version published on this page governs current use. If any provision is held unenforceable, invalid, or ineffective in whole or in part, the remaining provisions remain in force to the maximum extent permitted by law. Failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver.
Mandatory legal carve-out. Nothing in this notice excludes or limits liability to the extent such exclusion or limitation is prohibited under applicable law, including where applicable liability that cannot lawfully be excluded for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, death, personal injury, or mandatory consumer rights.
Governing law and forum. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, this notice and use of the website are governed by the laws of the Republic of Slovenia, without prejudice to any mandatory rights that may apply under otherwise applicable law. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, courts in Slovenia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to the website or this notice.
The central legal position of this site is simple: it is an informational and analytical publication, not a professional advisory service, not a forecasting guarantee, and not a decision-support assurance.
Controller. The controller of personal data processed through this website is Roman Jerse.
Scope. This website is primarily informational. It does not intentionally collect personal data through on-site registration, newsletter sign-up, checkout, purchase flows, or public user-submission forms.
Possible categories of data. Depending on how the site is accessed, limited technical and device-related data may still be processed through the website infrastructure. This may include IP address, browser and device data, session identifiers, security-related logs, cookie or storage-related technical information, and any personal data voluntarily included if a user contacts the operator through external channels such as email.
Purposes. Personal data, where processed, may be used only for the purposes of operating, securing, maintaining, rendering, and supporting the website; preventing abuse, fraud, and security incidents; handling communications initiated by users; complying with legal obligations; and establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims.
Legal bases. Where applicable, processing may be based on legitimate interests in website security, operation, resilience, fraud prevention, and response to communications; legal obligations where required; and consent where the law specifically requires consent, including where applicable for non-essential cookies or similar technologies.
Recipients and processors. Data may be processed by or disclosed to hosting, platform, infrastructure, security, technical, communications, or legal service providers where necessary for the operation and lawful protection of the website. Depending on the technical setup, some providers may act as processors and some may act as independent controllers for their own services.
International transfers. Because website infrastructure may rely on third-party providers, data may be processed in jurisdictions outside the user's own country. Where such transfers occur, they are intended to be carried out in accordance with applicable law and with appropriate safeguards where required.
Retention. Data is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for technical operation, security, legal compliance, communication handling, and legal defence, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Rights. Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights to request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability where applicable, withdrawal of consent where consent is the legal basis, and the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.
Security. Reasonable technical and organisational measures may be used to protect data, but no website, platform, email channel, or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
What the site does not do
No sales, no account creation, no checkout, no newsletter sign-up, and no intentional on-site lead collection.
What may still happen technically
Session, security, rendering, platform, resilience, and hosting-related technical processing through the underlying website infrastructure.
External contact
If you contact the operator by email, the data contained in that communication will be processed for the purpose of reviewing and replying, and may also be processed by the relevant email service providers.
This website is designed to minimise direct personal data collection, but informational websites can still involve limited technical processing through hosting and platform infrastructure.
What cookies are. Cookies and similar storage technologies are small files or identifiers placed on a user's device to support technical operation, security, session continuity, rendering, resilience, or other website functions.
How this site uses cookies. Apocalypse Clock is hosted on Wix infrastructure and may use Wix and related platform cookies or storage items for website operation, security, rendering, session continuity, load balancing, technical resilience, and related operational purposes.

Necessary / essential cookies. The site may use cookies or similar technologies that are strictly necessary for security, secure request handling, session continuity, rendering, load balancing, technical resilience, and core site operation. These technologies may be used without prior consent where permitted by applicable law because they are necessary for the service to function.
Other platform storage items. Some platform-level storage items may be classified by scanners as "Other" where their exact function is technical, resilience-related, state-related, diagnostics-related, or platform-managed. Classification by an external scanner does not by itself conclusively determine the applicable legal category.
Non-essential technologies. The website is currently presented as an informational website and does not intentionally describe advertising, marketing, or profiling cookies on this page. If non-essential cookies or similar technologies are later enabled, they are intended to be handled in accordance with applicable law, including consent mechanisms where legally required.
Browser control. Users can manage or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may cause parts of the website to malfunction or become unavailable.
This page is written for the current informational version of the site and its presently described technical cookie profile. The technical setup may change over time, and the latest published version of this notice governs the current description.

Anti-cloning and non-misrepresentation notice. No permission is granted to present copied or substantially copied protected site elements in a way that falsely suggests authorship, continuity, partnership, approval, or official connection with Apocalypse Clock or the Operator.
