Update frequency & delivery

• Sold as one-time snapshots; refreshed snapshots are cut when upstream publishes new bulk data.
• Every package ships with a MANIFEST (row counts, bytes, sha256).

Compliance & provenance

Collected only from publicly accessible pages and endpoints — no login-required data, no CAPTCHA solving, no forged authentication. Collection is rate-limited with an identified User-Agent, and collection logs are retained. PII is removed or pseudonymized. Every record carries its source URL and collection timestamp. Sold under a tiered commercial license.
