FAQs

What is the price for adding a U.S. Legal Shield?
Our U.S. Legal Shield is included with the Production Plan and higher at no additional cost. It is not available with the Free and Developer plans.
What does the U.S. Legal Shield cover?
Our U.S. Legal Shield covers the scraping and parsing of search engine data, as long as the activity itself is not illegal. Illegal use includes—but is not limited to—cybercrime, terrorism, child exploitation, denial-of-service attacks, and war crimes. In short, we assume liability for the lawful collection of public search data (scraping, parsing, and related actions), but not for how that data is ultimately used. We recommend consulting your own legal counsel regarding data usage, as its legality can vary and falls outside the scope of U.S. Legal Shield protection.
Does this apply outside the U.S.?
Yes, our U.S. Legal Shield covers both U.S. and international companies and individuals.
How effectively has the U.S. Legal Shield protected your customers?
All of our customers have been 100% protected since we started in 2017, and $0 in damages have been paid by our customers for web scraping.
Is any configuration required to activate the U.S. Legal Shield?
No — coverage begins automatically when you subscribe to our Production Plan or higher.
