You are responsible for what you collect and how you use it, [...] You agree not to use the service to: Access content behind a login, a paywall or other access controls, or any non-public or private data. Track, monitor, profile or harass individuals, build dossiers on people, or make decisions about people’s eligibility for jobs, credit, housing or insurance. Collect sensitive personal data (such as health, religion, political opinions, sexuality or biometrics) or children’s data. Send spam, or collect contact details for unsolicited messages.
