On a related note, on my site, I am considering implementing an "import your profile" feature that will import a person's public domain profile information from a competitor's site. My hypothesis is that this will reduce the barrier to signup for at least some of my users.
My question is - is this legal? The data(profile) is publicly accessible and belongs to the person(technically I understand that the site owns it). However if it's out in the open, what are the terms for this?
- dangoldin 16y agoEvery site is different. Many sites ban scraping and will only allow you to use the API. Even using the API they may only allow you to hold on to the data for a limited amount of time.
