Acceptable Use Policy

Last Updated: August 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (the “AUP”) is part of and incorporated into the HasData Terms of Use (the “Terms”). It applies to everyone who uses HasData’s APIs, no-code scrapers, datasets, and related services (the “Services”). Terms defined in the Terms have the same meaning here. By using the Services you agree to this AUP, and if you use the Services for an organization you accept it on that organization’s behalf.

1. Permitted Use

HasData provides infrastructure for collecting publicly available web data for lawful purposes. Typical uses include market and pricing research, SEO and rank tracking, lead research from public sources, business intelligence, brand and content monitoring, and academic research.

Collecting publicly available information is a legitimate activity. Whether a specific project is lawful depends on what data you collect, how you collect it, and how you use it, and you are responsible for making that assessment for your use case.

2. Your Responsibilities

You are responsible for the legality of your own use of the Services. In particular, you agree to:

• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including data-protection laws such as the GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA, and applicable intellectual-property and computer-misuse laws.
• Where you choose the websites or sources you target, not use the Services in a manner that violates their terms of service, and assess their robots.txt directives and published rate limits for your use. Where you use a documented HasData product for its documented purpose, take responsibility for your use, storage, and distribution of the data you obtain.
• Collect only data you are permitted to collect, and obtain any rights, licenses, or consents required before you collect, store, or use it.
• Keep your account and API credentials secure. You remain responsible for all activity carried out through them. Allowing anyone else to use your account or credentials is subject to any account-type restrictions in the Terms (for example, enterprise accounts are limited to employees of the account-holder organization).

3. No Circumvention of Technological Measures

The Services are not designed or licensed to defeat access controls, and you must not use them to do so. You must not, among other things, use the Services to:

• Access accounts, systems, or data you are not authorized to access.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with authentication, login walls, or other technological measures a site uses to restrict access to non-public content.
• Collect or store data that sits behind a login, paywall, or other access control, or that is otherwise not publicly available.

This reflects Section 5.2 of the Terms. The Services do not bypass, circumvent, or disable any technological measure that controls access to content that is not otherwise publicly available. Using proxies or rendering to retrieve publicly available pages is not, by itself, circumvention under this AUP, and it is not permission to reach content you are not authorized to access.

4. Prohibited Data and Targets

You must not use the Services to collect, store, or transmit any of the following, among other things:

• Non-public information, or content behind a login, paywall, or other access control.
• Special-category personal data, such as health, biometric, genetic, or racial or ethnic data.
• Personal data of children.
• Financial-account or payment-card data.
• Content that is illegal, defamatory, or obscene, or that depicts or incites violence or child sexual abuse.

5. Prohibited Activities

You must not, among other things, use the Services to:

• Launch denial-of-service attacks, or place an undue load on, disrupt, or damage any website, server, or network.
• Send spam or unsolicited bulk messages, or build unconfirmed contact lists.
• Distribute malware or other malicious code, or probe, scan, or breach the security of any system.
• Commit fraud, including ad fraud, click fraud, payment fraud, or identity theft.
• Create fake accounts, reviews, ratings, or engagement, or manipulate search rankings with fake clicks.
• Impersonate any person or organization, or misrepresent your affiliation with HasData.
• Run ticket-purchasing bots.
• Make credit, insurance, employment, housing, or other eligibility decisions about any individual, or use data for any purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or similar laws.
• Stalk, harass, or surveil any individual, or otherwise act to cause them harm.
• Train, develop, or improve artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models in violation of applicable law, including the EU AI Act.
• Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Services or their output except as HasData permits in writing.
• Infringe the copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual-property or legal rights of, or otherwise harm, any third party.

6. Personal Data and Privacy

If you collect or process personal data using the Services, you are responsible for having a valid lawful basis and for honoring data-subject rights. In most cases you act as the controller of that data. Where HasData processes personal data on your behalf, that processing is governed by the Data Processing Agreement, where one is in place between you and HasData.

HasData datasets are compiled from publicly available records and provided for lawful use, and you remain responsible for your own processing of them. To request removal of your personal information from a HasData dataset, or to raise a data-protection question, contact privacy@hasdata.com.

7. Enforcement

We may investigate suspected violations of this AUP. Where we find a violation, or reasonably believe use of the Services is unlawful or harmful, we may limit, suspend, or terminate access in whole or in part, and, where circumstances require immediate action, without prior notice. We may also restrict access to particular targets or categories of targets at our discretion. We are not liable to you or to any third party for any suspension, limitation, restriction, or termination taken in good faith under this AUP. Fees already paid for the period before a violation-related suspension or termination are non-refundable. We may cooperate with law enforcement and respond to valid legal requests.

8. Reporting Abuse

To report misuse of the Services, contact support@hasdata.com. We review reports and act at our discretion.

9. Changes to This AUP

We may update this AUP from time to time. For material changes, we will post the updated version and notify account holders at their registered contact address, and unless an earlier effective date is required by law or to address an urgent risk, the change will take effect no earlier than 30 days after the later of posting and that notice. If you keep using the Services after a change takes effect, you accept the updated AUP.

10. Governing Law and Contact

This AUP forms part of the Terms and is governed by the laws of the Dominican Republic, as set out in Section 9 of the Terms. Section 9 also governs arbitration, jurisdiction, and venue for any dispute arising out of or relating to this AUP.
