## Data

- Keep data: no limit
- Use data: You may point the service at a page you are authorised to reach: a page you own, a page that is publicly reachable, or a page a target site has agreed you may reach programmatically. [...] Stay inside the rate limits, concurrency limits and any per-target constraints your plan sets. [...] Where a destination site publishes crawl directives or rate expectations and you are bound by them, whether by law, by a robots file, or by an agreement with that site, follow them [...] Do not use the service to reach a system, account or document you are not authorised to enter, including by defeating a login, a paywall, or another access control that is not yours to open. [...] Do not use the service where doing so is illegal in your jurisdiction or the target’s: this covers unauthorised computer access under laws like the CFAA and its equivalents elsewhere, infringing a third party’s intellectual property, processing personal data with no lawful basis for it [...]
