Bot Policy
This policy outlines the guidelines and practices for web scraping activities conducted by Eebz Ltd. Our goal is to ensure that scraping activities are conducted in a respectful, legal, and ethical manner.
- Adherence to Laws: Scraping activities must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including data protection and privacy laws (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
- Respect for Server load: Scraping should if at all possible, scrape during lower traffic hours based on the geographic time zone of that website.
- Buying: Our bot will never be used for automated buying or other activity.
- Publicly available information: Scraping activities should only access publicly available information.
- Rate Limits: Implement appropriate rate limits to avoid overloading websites. Scraping should be done at a pace that does not disrupt the normal operation of the website.
- Timing: We will try to scrape during low traffic periods based on the geographic site of the website concerned.
- Analytics: We will try not to trigger analytics or other tracking that may change website owners view of website visits.
- Data Minimization: Only collect data that is necessary for the intended purpose. Avoid excessive or unnecessary data collection.
- Personal Data: Scraping personal data should be avoided unless explicitly permitted and required for the intended use. If personal data is scraped, it must be handled in compliance with relevant data protection laws.
- Purpose: Our data is primarily used to drive overall sales of products across the channel.
- Disclosure: Where possible, disclose that scraping is being conducted and provide contact information for further inquiries.
- Contact Information: Provide a contact point for website owners or administrators to address any concerns or issues related to scraping activities.
- Cooperation: Be willing to cooperate with website owners if they request changes or cessation of scraping activities.
- Response times: We will endeavour to respond to any information request or query about our bot by a website owner or administrator within 3 working days.
- Security Measures: Implement security measures to protect both the scraped data and the website from any potential security threats that could arise from scraping activities.
- Integrity: Ensure the integrity and accuracy of the scraped data and refrain from using techniques that could harm the website or its users.
