## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: "The following is prohibited and may result in suspension or termination without notice: [...] Redistribution of data as a stand-alone dataset (e.g. reselling all or substantial parts of the database) without a separate written agreement. Bulk extraction is permitted within the features and quotas of the chosen plan, e.g. batch lookups and — on Enterprise — replication [...] Use to compile personal data without a lawful basis [...] Marketing directed at companies that are advertising-protected in the CVR register. The ad_protected field tells you whether a company has opted out of unsolicited approaches, and you must filter on it before using the data for outreach [...] Reverse engineering or attempts to circumvent the service's protections" "Data from DanskCVRAPI contains personal data, e.g. about the management, owners and participants of companies. The Customer processes it as an independent data controller [...] The Customer must therefore have its own legal basis for processing, fulfil its duty to inform the data subjects, and must not use the data for marketing to advertising-protected companies or for purposes incompatible with the purpose of the register."
