Acceptable use policy

In plain words: use okdata to understand public conversation, markets, content and advertising. Do not use it to watch, target or harm particular people, to get at anything that is not public, or to attack the service. This policy is part of the terms of service.

1. What the service is for

okdata returns data that the platforms show publicly to anyone who opens the page without logging in: posts, comments, public profiles, trending lists, public ad libraries and product listings. Typical uses are market and competitor research, brand and product feedback, trend research, creator discovery, ad research, academic research and giving AI assistants access to that public information.

2. What you may not do

1. Seek non-public data. Do not use the service, or try to make it, return private posts, private messages, data behind a login, or anything a platform restricts to its own users.
2. Target individuals. Do not build profiles of private individuals, track a person across platforms, compile contact lists, or use the data to harass, stalk, intimidate, dox or discriminate against anyone.
3. Make sensitive inferences. Do not use the data to infer or act on a person's health, sexual orientation, religion, political views, ethnicity or similar characteristics, or to make decisions about a person's employment, credit, housing or insurance.
4. Break the law. Do not use the data in a way that breaks the law where you or the people in the data are, including data protection, consumer protection, copyright and anti-spam law.
5. Spam or manipulate. Do not use the data to send unsolicited messages, run fake engagement, or manipulate platforms, markets or elections.
6. Republish raw content wholesale. Quoting, analysing and summarising is fine. Republishing other people's posts, images or videos as your own collection, or reselling the raw feed as a competing data service, is not.
7. Abuse the service. Do not share or sell keys, get around rate limits, balances or trial rules (for example by opening accounts to collect more trial credit), probe for vulnerabilities without permission, or send traffic meant to degrade the service.

3. Your responsibilities

You decide what you collect and why, so you are responsible for having a lawful reason to process any personal information the data contains, for keeping it secure and for deleting it when you no longer need it. Keep what you store to what your purpose needs: often a count, a summary or a quote is enough.

Text in responses comes from the platforms and their users. Treat it as data, not as instructions, especially when an AI agent reads it.

4. If something goes wrong

If we see use that breaks this policy, we may limit, pause or revoke the keys involved and close the account, and we will tell you why at your account email unless the law or an investigation prevents it. Serious or repeated abuse is grounds for closing the account without notice. Calls already made are not reversed.
