## In their words

- Their pitch: Fetch a public page through the proxy and return its readable text, title, description, images and ld+json.

## Data

- Freshness: live
- Keep data: Keep only what you have a lawful basis to store, set a retention period for your use and honor removal requests.
- Use data: The results are yours to use within the acceptable use policy. What you may not do: Target a private individual for harm: stalking, harassment, intimidation, doxxing, blackmail, or locating somebody who does not want to be found. Profile people on protected characteristics, or make a decision with legal or similarly significant effects (employment, credit, housing, insurance, policing) based only on our results. Re-identify or contact somebody who opted out, or route around a suppression. Resell raw results as a people-search or background-check product, or scrape our API to build one. Run email lookups on lists you did not obtain lawfully, on bought lists, or to build a marketing audience without a lawful basis. Work around rate limits, quotas, suppressions, or the three-way outcome, by presenting a lookup we could not check as a fact. Use the results to attack accounts: credential stuffing, account takeover, phishing. Anything unlawful where you are, or where the person is.
