Terms of use.

These are the terms for using liesofhr.com. By using the site, signing up to the mailing list, or taking the assessment, you agree to them.

What this site is

Lies of HR is an editorial project by Martin Spiteri Schillig. The episodes, articles, assessment, and any other content are opinions and commentary, drawn from years of working inside HR. They are written to provoke better thinking — not as professional, legal, or HR advice for your specific situation.

What it isn't

• It isn't legal, employment, or financial advice.
• It isn't a guarantee of any outcome — taking the assessment or reading a Lie won't fix your organisation on its own.
• It isn't affiliated with your employer or any third party.

Using the site

You agree to use the site in good faith. That means you won't:

• Try to break, scrape at scale, or interfere with the site.
• Submit other people's emails without their permission.
• Use the content to harass anyone or misrepresent it as your own.

Content and copyright

Unless stated otherwise, all written content, audio episodes, and the design of the site are © Lies of HR / Martin Spiteri Schillig. You're welcome to quote short passages with a credit and a link back. For anything larger — republishing, training models on the corpus, or commercial reuse — please get in touch first.

Email lists

If you submit your email, you're opting in to the specific list you signed up to (the next Lie, or workshop news). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email, or by writing to hello@liesofhr.com.

The assessment

The assessment ("Which lies are you telling?") is a self-reflection tool. The result is a profile, not a diagnosis. Treat it as a starting point for a conversation, not as evidence in a decision about any person.

Liability

The site is provided "as is". To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any loss, damage, or decision made on the basis of anything on the site. If you rely on it to run your organisation, do so with the same scepticism we're asking you to apply to HR itself.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law that applies to you. If you are a consumer in the EU, EEA, or UK, you keep all mandatory statutory rights, including those under consumer-protection law.

Personal data

Any personal data you submit through the site (for example, your email address) is handled in line with our Privacy notice, which describes how we comply with the EU GDPR and UK GDPR.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Malta, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence in the EU, EEA, or UK.

Links to other sites

Some pages link out — for example, to LinkedIn profiles. Those sites have their own terms and privacy notices, and we're not responsible for their content.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top will reflect the most recent change.
