View original clause language

You agree not to engage in any of the following activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Services in any medium; (ii) using any automated system to access the Services; (iii) transmitting spam or other unsolicited communications; (iv) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security of, or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Services; (v) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Services; (vi) collecting or harvesting any personally identifiable information from the Services.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Automated access and data harvesting restrictions implicate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA, 18 U.S.C. §1030); recent case law (hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn, 9th Cir. 2022) has narrowed CFAA applicability to publicly available data. Data harvesting of personal information may violate CCPA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.100), COPPA (for child user data), and GDPR Art. 6 (unauthorized processing). Spam prohibitions align with CAN-SPAM Act (15 U.S.C. §7701) requirements. (2)
