Terms & Conditions

Website purpose and publication status

This website introduces The Disclosure Trap by Jeremy McGowan and provides information about the author, his public writing, and selected screen appearances.

The publication-update form records a notification request for review. Submit your email address and affirmative permission if you want book-publication news. A request does not reserve a copy, create a purchase, or set a publication date.

Permitted use and intellectual property

You may browse the site, follow its links, and share ordinary links to its pages. You may retain a personal copy for your own reading. Copyright and other rights remain with their respective holders.

Display of protected original text, cover artwork, photographs, or design does not grant a republication, merchandise, or advertising license. Permission for a use that requires it must come from the relevant rights holder. Nothing in these terms limits fair use, lawful quotation, accessibility rights, or other uses permitted by applicable law.

Credited public-domain and openly licensed material retains its stated source status or license, including any applicable non-copyright restrictions. This site's copyright notice does not claim exclusive rights in that material or restrict its lawful reuse. Other third-party photographs and program imagery have their own rights and reuse conditions. The author's participation in a production does not transfer ownership of its footage, posters, music, or logos to visitors.

Editorial context and independent views

Read factual statements, attributed accounts, analytical judgments, historical biographies, and illustrations in their stated context. The site's six-stage claim model uses separate documented events and reference images; it does not document one chronological chain or an intelligence operation.

The cover is symbolic editorial artwork. The subtitle's reference to enemies concerns foreign adversaries, not an allegation that the Americans depicted are foreign agents. The fuller editorial notice is available on the book page.

Screen appearances and historical essays provide context for the author's public journey. They do not validate the book's conclusions or imply sponsorship by a broadcaster, platform, Government agency, pictured person, or another production participant. Security review, if granted, would not establish endorsement or factual validation.

Responsible use

Do not interfere with the site's operation, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malicious code, impersonate the operator, or use site material to suggest an endorsement that has not been given.

This website has no public user accounts, comments or visitor file-upload facility. Contact submissions are screened automatically; accepted messages are reviewed privately. Relevant evidence may be prepared for a potential report to appropriate authorities after a separate human decision. Contact messages are not automatically published or forwarded, do not subscribe you to publication news, and do not authorize disclosure of someone else’s private or protected information.

External links and availability

Links to Medium, IMDb, X, program information, and image sources lead to independent services. Their terms, privacy practices, availability, region restrictions, and charges may differ. A link is provided for its stated purpose and does not constitute endorsement or a promise of free viewing.

The site may be corrected, updated, or temporarily unavailable. Material is supplied for information; it is not a substitute for professional legal, scientific, security, or other advice appropriate to your circumstances.

Your rights and changes to these terms

Nothing in these terms excludes liability, remedies, or consumer and privacy rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded. These terms impose no arbitration agreement, class-action waiver, or exclusive court venue.

Material revisions will be identified by an updated date. A future paid product or user account will have its own applicable information and any necessary agreement. Notification requests concern book-publication news and remain separate from a purchase or account.
