Ethics & Rules

Terms and Conditions of Use

Welcome to my personal website. By accessing this site, you agree to the following terms, which outline my commitment to ethical web development, accessibility, and professional conduct.

1. Ethical Statement (Transparency & Honesty)

Transparency: This website is an academic assignment for ISYS1001. I openly declare that while the code is a demonstration of my skills, the stories and experiences shared (such as my fishing trips and cooking) are authentic and reflect my real life as an international student.

Data Privacy: I respect the privacy of all visitors. The contact form on this website is for educational simulation purposes. I do not collect, store, or sell any personal data (such as names or emails) submitted through this form.

2. Accessibility Statement (Inclusivity)

I believe the web should be accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. To achieve this, I have adhered to key Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG):

  • Semantic HTML: I use proper tags like <header>, <main>, and <nav> to help screen readers understand the page structure.
  • Alt Text: All images include descriptive alt attributes so visually impaired users can understand the content.
  • Keyboard Navigation: A "Skip to main content" link is provided to allow users to bypass the navigation menu using the Tab key.

3. Professional Issues & Copyright

Intellectual Property: Professionalism involves respecting the work of others. All photographs displayed on this website are original works taken by the author (Jiayang Dai). I have not used stock photos without permission, demonstrating my commitment to copyright laws.

Code Integrity: The HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code was written by me, adhering to industry best practices such as separating structure (HTML) from style (CSS).

4. Generative AI Declaration

In accordance with the Assessment Brief (Level 2 Use), I acknowledge the following:

  • I have used Generative AI tools (ChatGPT) to assist in checking grammar and refining the English text on this website to ensure clarity and professional tone.
  • I have not used AI to generate the core HTML/CSS code; the coding logic and structure are my own work based on Module 1-6 materials.
