Terms of use
Website and product information terms
These terms govern use of the public DDC Guardian 365 website and its informational content. Product licensing and customer-specific commitments require separate terms.
Effective: 12 November 2026 · Publisher: CloudSyncDev
1. Acceptance
By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you use the website on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to do so. If you do not agree, do not use the website.
2. Publisher and product
DDC Guardian 365 is published by CloudSyncDev. It is a Windows desktop product for Microsoft 365 discovery, inventory, analysis, review, classification recommendations, permission evidence, reports and governed operations across SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams and OneDrive.
The product is in active development. Website descriptions are intended to reflect verified current implementation boundaries but may change as the product evolves.
3. Informational website; no purchase contract
This public website provides product information, documentation, security architecture, edition comparison and support guidance. It does not by itself create a software license, subscription, purchase order, SLA, data-processing agreement, professional-services engagement or warranty.
No final Professional pricing is published here. A commercial relationship exists only under separate written terms accepted by the relevant parties.
4. Authorized use
You may browse and use the website for legitimate evaluation, administration, security review and support purposes. You must not:
- attempt to disrupt, probe or bypass website security;
- misrepresent CloudSyncDev, DDC Guardian 365 or a relationship with Microsoft;
- copy or use branding in a way that suggests endorsement or ownership;
- use documentation to gain unauthorized access to Microsoft 365 data;
- submit passwords, tokens, client secrets or other credentials through support communications.
5. Product access and licensing
Community and Professional capabilities are gated in the product. Community is read-only toward Microsoft 365 and supports dry-run/preview where defined. Professional requires a valid tenant-bound license for Professional-only capabilities.
A Professional entitlement does not override Microsoft permissions, tenant policy, delegated runtime evidence, safeguards, explicit confirmation or approval. Unsupported delegated operations remain blocked.
6. Customer responsibilities
Organizations deploying DDC Guardian 365 are responsible for:
- endpoint and Windows account security;
- the customer-owned Microsoft Entra app registration and consent;
- selection of delegated permissions and administrator roles under least-privilege policy;
- authorization of operators and the technical account;
- scope selection, review, approval and verification of any governed operation;
- retention, backups and deletion of local application data;
- compliance with Microsoft terms and their own legal or regulatory obligations.
7. Security and product boundaries
The product is designed around local processing, public-client authorization code with PKCE, delegated permissions and fail-closed gates. This website does not claim Microsoft certification, Zero Trust certification, compliance with a named standard, complete tenant discovery, automatic remediation or immunity from security incidents.
DDC Guardian does not automatically move documents. The current delegated-only model does not implement Purview auto-label policy management and does not use application permissions or client credentials as a fallback.
8. Microsoft and third-party services
Microsoft identity, Microsoft Graph, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, Microsoft Entra and related services are provided by Microsoft and governed by their applicable terms. Service availability, API behavior, limits, tenant policy and permissions can affect DDC Guardian operation.
Microsoft names and marks belong to their respective owner. Reference to Microsoft products describes compatibility and intended integration; it does not imply endorsement.
9. Intellectual property
The website, product branding, original documentation, designs and software are owned by CloudSyncDev or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. No rights are granted except the limited right to use this website under these terms and any rights separately granted under a product license.
10. Documentation and changes
Documentation is provided for the current verified product direction and may contain version-specific requirements. Confirm instructions against the exact installed build. CloudSyncDev may update, correct, reorganize or remove website content without preserving historical routes.
11. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the public website and its informational content are provided “as is” and “as available.” CloudSyncDev does not make an unwritten guarantee that the website will be uninterrupted, that every description applies to every build or tenant, or that DDC Guardian will discover every location or process every file.
Any product warranties, support commitments or remedies are only those stated in a separate written agreement.
12. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CloudSyncDev is not liable under these website terms for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, revenue, profits or business opportunity arising from use of the public website. A separate product agreement may define different terms.
13. Privacy
Use of the website and product-related support information is described in the Privacy Policy.
