I work in Fintech. One of our products is "alternative data"... Where we sell financial datasets to other financial institutions, mainly hedge funds.
Typically the client will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about how you create or generate the data. There are lots of questions about web scraping.
The general sense is that these firms are more and more sensitive to purchasing data that has been scraped... Especially if it relates to individuals or social media.
