Acceptable use

Allowed

Researching public conversation you are allowed to see, monitoring brands you own or are contracted to work on, collecting cited evidence for journalism or academic work, and exporting reports for a client who hired you.

Not allowed

Harassment, stalking, doxxing, threats, or publishing private contact details of a person who did not put them in a public post you lawfully obtained.

Using Scrapely as a consumer report, tenant screen, employment screen, or insurance eligibility tool (FCRA and similar laws).

Treating graph edges or “related accounts” as proven identity. Confidence below a high bar is a hypothesis. Presenting it as fact in a dossier is on you.

Circumventing platform access controls, scraping private accounts, buying or selling non-public data, CAPTCHA farms, credential stuffing, or ignoring rate limits.

Reselling raw corpus dumps, using the API to rebuild a competing index of our fetched records, or overloading the service.

Uploading malware, attempting to access another workspace, or using the product to build biometric or facial-recognition databases.

Anything illegal where you use the service, including export-control evasion and sanctions violations.

Enforcement

We may remove content, throttle, suspend, or terminate. We may keep records needed to explain a suspension. You can write to Contact to appeal. An appeal is not a promise of restoration.
