Data Ethics

Our dataset is powerful. We set guardrails so it’s used to discover, understand, and build — not to spam or harm. These principles apply to all Enterprise customers and are referenced by the API License.

Principles

User respect: Prioritize relevance and consent; avoid deceptive practices.
Privacy by default: We focus on public launch signals and avoid sensitive personal data.
Transparency: Attribute sources where reasonable (e.g., link to /site/{domain} pages).
Safety: Don’t use the data to target vulnerable groups or for discriminatory outcomes.

Prohibited uses

Bulk unsolicited outreach, lead scraping for spam, or any activity violating anti-spam laws.
Building a competing dataset/feed primarily derived from our records.
Fingerprinting, deanonymization, or attempts to bypass privacy controls.
Surveillance, harassment, or profiling based on sensitive attributes.
Any illegal activity or violation of platform/site terms.

If you’re unsure whether your use case is allowed, email ethics@websitelaunches.com — we’ll review quickly.

Sensitive categories

Default filtering

“Adult & Gambling” is excluded by default across feeds and endpoints. To include it intentionally, pass the explicit L1 filter (see Feeds docs).

PII & personal data

We don’t provide direct personal identifiers. Do not attempt to infer or attach sensitive attributes.

Do-not-list

We honor removal requests; contact dpo@websitelaunches.com.

Operational guidelines

Rate limits

Follow polite usage (e.g., ≤ 1 request/min per unique query). Ask us for higher-throughput needs.

Caching

Respect ETag, Last-Modified, Cache-Control: max-age=300 to reduce load and cost.

Attribution

Link to the item’s /site/{domain} page when embedding records in public UIs where reasonable.

Security

Keep API keys confidential, rotate if leaked, and notify us of suspected abuse.

Governance & contact

Review

We may review usage for compliance and reach out to resolve issues cooperatively.

Escalation

Report concerns to ethics@websitelaunches.com or dpo@websitelaunches.com.

Changes

We’ll publish meaningful updates and provide reasonable notice for breaking changes.
