## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You are responsible for how you use results: having a lawful basis and any permissions you need, and meeting the laws and third-party terms that apply to your use, including rules on attribution, retention, deletion, republishing and text-and-data-mining or AI opt-outs. Within those limits, you may use results in your own applications, websites, reports and analysis: store and cache them, show them to your users, combine them with other data and analyse them, including with AI. You may not sell or redistribute results as a standalone dataset or data feed without our written agreement. [...] Some endpoints return social media content, data about identifiable people, or SEO and traffic data. They are marked "Needs terms" and only work after you accept these terms in your dashboard. [...] What you confirm: you have a lawful basis, such as legitimate interest, for processing any personal data you receive, and you collect only what you need for that purpose, you will not use the data to identify, track or contact individuals without their consent where consent is required, you will keep personal data only as long as you need it, keep it secure, and act on access, correction, deletion and objection requests as the law requires, you will respect the rights of content creators and the platform terms that legally apply to you when you store or republish content. What you may not do: use the data to decide a person's eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance or education, or for background or tenant screening, monitor or track a specific individual's location, movements or activity, build or sell profiles of private individuals, use the data for surveillance, or supply it to anyone for that purpose.
