Acceptable Use Policy

Effective 17 October 2026. Last updated 17 October 2026.

In short

  • Use BlackSlate for your own development work, and upload only what you have the right to.
  • Do not scrape or republish our data, or use contact details in it to spam people.
  • Report security issues to us rather than testing them on live accounts.

The summary is for convenience; the full text below is what applies.

This policy forms part of our Terms of Service. If you break it, we may remove content or suspend your account.

You must not

  • Upload content that you do not have the right to use, or that infringes anyone's copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights.
  • Upload content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that exploits or harms children.
  • Scrape, crawl, bulk download or systematically extract our databases, or use automated tools to access the Service other than through features we provide.
  • Republish, resell or redistribute substantial parts of our data, or use it to build or train a competing product or model.
  • Use names, representation details or other information about people in our datasets to harass, spam or contact them in breach of the law.
  • Share your account, or let anyone outside your organisation use it.
  • Get around Preview Link expiry or revocation, or share a Preview Link you were sent without the sender's permission.
  • Interfere with the Service, introduce malware, overload our systems, or try to access data that is not yours.
  • Probe, scan or test the security of the Service without our written permission.
  • Reverse engineer the Service, except where the law allows it.
