Data use
Information and tool results are for general reference only. They are not a recommendation to take any action and should not be treated as the basis for an individual decision.
Agoodeal is an independent information and tools website, not an official government website. Verify important matters independently and consult the relevant organisation or a qualified professional. This statement explains where our data come from, the limits of our estimates, the scope of our responsibility and what to bear in mind when you use or quote our content.
Published: Statement content last revised: (this English text restates that version)
Independent website
Agoodeal is run independently and is not the website of a government department, public body or service provider. Naming an official source does not mean that body recognises or endorses this website, and we do not speak for it.
Formal applications, fees, eligibility, appointments and service arrangements are always as published and confirmed by the relevant government department, public body or service provider.
Limitation of liability
We do not guarantee that the information and tool results are accurate, complete, up to date or suitable for your circumstances at all times. Verify the information yourself and make your own judgement about any action or decision.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Agoodeal is not liable for loss or damage arising from the use of, reliance on, or inability to use its information, tools, API or AI tool results.
This statement does not exclude or limit any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, and does not affect users’ statutory rights.
Sources and timing
We use first-party public data published by government departments and public bodies first, and list the source, data period, update method, method and limitations in the “Sources and notes” section at the end of each page.
Pages separate two kinds of figures: data as originally published or reported by the source, and values that Agoodeal has compiled, converted, grouped or calculated. The latter are our own processing and are not official figures.
The official data period or update time, the time Agoodeal read the data and the time a page calculated a result mean different things. Official publication schedules, networks and caches can all make a page slightly later than its source.
“Not available” is not zero and does not mean there is no service. A public dataset may not cover every location, organisation or case; when a source cannot be read, the data are old or only part of the content was read, the page says so.
Estimates and rules
Results such as tax, subsidies, severance payments, public housing limits and interest are calculated with the rules, year and assumptions stated on the page. They are not a formal tax assessment, approval, quotation or eligibility decision.
Our content is general information and is not medical, financial, tax or legal advice. For your own circumstances, consult the relevant organisation or a qualified professional.
Waiting times for accident and emergency and specialist outpatient services are public service data, not a diagnosis, triage or ranking of medical quality. In an emergency, call 999 or go to an accident and emergency department immediately.

API and AI tools
Our two versioned JSON APIs, for car park vacancies and weather, provide cacheable public data compiled by Agoodeal; they are not official government APIs. Read the official times given for each item; other /api/ paths exist only to serve our own pages and have no versioned contract.
In browsers that support the experimental WebMCP, the practical tools register in the tab you have open: local calculations use the page’s own calculation, local queries only filter the records the page has loaded, and source discovery tools only return source links and limitations without reading the latest records. These results are for reference in the same way as the web pages.
Rights and corrections
Rights in the source data belong to the relevant government departments, public bodies or other data providers and are subject to each source’s terms of use. For example, the DATA.GOV.HK Terms and Conditions (opens in a new tab) require users to acknowledge the data source and the related rights.
Agoodeal has not set a separate reuse licence for the content it compiles or calculates, and cannot authorise you to reuse the source data on behalf of the official bodies. To reproduce or republish, follow each source’s terms and acknowledge the source and data period.
If you find an error in a figure, source link or explanation, please email us with the address of the page concerned.
When this statement is revised, we update the last revised date above at the same time. If you have questions about this statement, please email us.
