Privacy Embargo 100-Year Rule Personal Data Checker

Compare actual review date with independently legally established century-embargo boundary, manual proleptic Gregorian validation. No universal100-year personal-data rule, automatic opening, privacy/FOI eligibility or copyright consequence; boundary calculated/verified externally.

Description

Personal-data embargoes depend on the applicable rule and triggering event.

Personal-data embargoes depend on the applicable rule and triggering event.1

A named century boundary must be independently supplied rather than assumed to be a universal 100-year rule. Use this tool to calculate the stated observation or conditional model from supplied measurements.

When to use Privacy Embargo 100-Year Rule Personal Data Checker

Use this tool to calculate the stated observation or conditional model from supplied measurements. Establish the institution, collection/material context, applicable standards or authority, reference date and measurement units.

How to use Privacy Embargo 100-Year Rule Personal Data Checker and understand its results

  1. Establish the institution, collection/material context, applicable standards or authority, reference date and measurement units.
  2. Enter callerVerifiedEmbargoStartDate, callerRequestedReviewDate, callerApplicableCenturyBoundaryDate, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
  3. Read result.daysToCallerBoundary, result.atOrAfterCallerBoundary. Interpret each field using the units, signs and evidence rules below.
  4. If input validation fails, correct the reported field and run again. Before applying a successful result, check the stated reference scope, units, assumptions and any retained unknown evidence.
Input fieldMeaningValue typeRequirement
callerVerifiedEmbargoStartDateCaller verified embargo start datestringRequired
callerRequestedReviewDateCaller requested review datestringRequired
callerApplicableCenturyBoundaryDateCaller applicable century boundary datestringRequired

Parse all three real Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD dates in years 0001–9999. Require the supplied boundary no earlier than the embargo start. Return boundary-minus-review days and whether review≥boundary. A review before the start is allowed; no 100-year term or leap-day policy is automatically added.

daysToBoundary=ordinal(boundary)−ordinal(review); atOrAfter=(review≥boundary), requiring boundary≥start

Apply the field units and exact ordering, boundary and evidence rules above.

Limitations and assumptions

A named century boundary must be independently supplied rather than assumed to be a universal 100-year rule. Results depend on the independently established measurement basis and the exact model assumptions above.

Every listed input requires an explicit value. Unexpected fields, incorrect value types, nonfinite numbers and sparse numeric arrays fail validation; tool-specific bounds and alignment rules apply as described above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful calculation that reports a false comparison or retains unknown evidence.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use Copyright Status Public Domain Year Boundary Checker to examine a related aspect: A public-domain boundary depends on applicable rights facts and law.

Use Deed of Gift Copyright Transfer Clause Presence Checker where its separate inputs and scope apply: A deed-of-gift copyright clause must match the rights holder, authority and transferred scope.
