Terms of use

The short version: read it and cite it with attribution, but no scraping, no data collection, no harvesting of personal information. Using the site is agreement to these terms, and violations are pursued.

01 /Acceptance and binding agreement

By accessing, browsing, querying, or otherwise using ryanwaked.com in any manner, you acknowledge, accept, and agree to be bound by these terms. This applies to every entity that touches the site: every individual, organization, company, government body, bot, crawler, scraper, agent, or automated system, whether or not a human is present. If you do not agree to every part of these terms, you are not permitted to access or use the site in any way.

02 /Content

Analyses, figures, and datasets are published for informational purposes only. They come with stated methods and limitations, not warranties; nothing here is professional, financial, or legal advice.

03 /Strictly no scraping or automated access

Scraping, crawling, spidering, harvesting, indexing, mirroring, caching beyond your browser's ordinary operation, bulk downloading, or any automated or systematic extraction of this site's pages, content, data, code, markup, or feeds is strictly prohibited. This includes the use of bots, scripts, headless browsers, AI agents, or any tool that accesses the site at machine speed or scale.

The only exception is standard search-engine indexing by providers that fully honor this site's robots.txt; everything else requires prior written permission. Reasonable individual human use (reading, and citing figures with attribution) remains welcome.

04 /Strictly no data collection

You may not collect, extract, aggregate, compile, store, resell, or redistribute any of this site's content or data, or build any database, dataset, model, index, or derivative collection from it. Accessing the site grants no license to its data beyond reading it in your browser. Dataset licenses, where they exist, are stated per dataset in the catalog and govern only that dataset.

05 /No collection of personal information

You may not collect, scrape, harvest, infer, compile, or store personal information about Ryan Waked or about any individual named in, referenced on, or linked from this site. This includes names, contact details, location, identifiers, online accounts, images, and any data that could identify, profile, track, or contact a person.

The site must not be used for surveillance, profiling, identity resolution, doxxing, building contact or marketing lists, or assembling training data about people.

06 /No AI or model training

This site's content and data may not be used to train, fine-tune, evaluate, ground, or develop any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, dataset, or system, whether commercial or non-commercial, without prior written permission.

07 /Intellectual property

Site content is copyright Ryan Waked unless noted otherwise. Dataset licenses are stated per dataset in the catalog; third-party posts and images belong to their owners.

08 /Acceptable use

Do not interfere with the operation of the site, degrade its performance, probe, scan, or circumvent its infrastructure or any technical or access-control measure, evade rate limits, misrepresent your identity or user agent, or use the site to violate any law or the rights of any person.

10 /No liability

The site is provided as is, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ryan Waked is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.

12 /Changes

These terms may change as the site evolves; the current version is always this page.
