Terms of use
NanoScraper is private software run by one operator on one server. These terms describe what access means here, what you may use it for, and what is deliberately not promised.
Last reviewed 20 August 2026.
How access works
There is no self-service registration. Every account is created by hand, after someone asks through the access-request form and the operator agrees to it.
No payment is taken. Checkout, subscriptions, tax, refunds and revenue share all report themselves unavailable, so nothing here is a purchase, nothing is owed, and there is no refund to ask for.
Access is granted at the operator's discretion and can be withdrawn at the same discretion — for misuse, for load this server cannot carry, or simply because the arrangement has run its course.
Your account
Keep your sign-in credentials to yourself and do not share the account. Everything done through it is treated as done by you.
If you think someone else has your sign-in credentials, say so through the access-request form. The operator can end the session and issue new ones; there is no automated recovery flow, because there is no way to send you email.
What you may use it for
The short version: collect business data you are entitled to collect, from sources whose terms you are meeting, at a volume one server can carry.
- Business data
- The connectors collect business information from the public web, and the record model is shaped for it. It is not a person finder.
- Your own lawful basis
- You choose the sources and the volume. Establishing that you are permitted to collect and hold what you collect is yours to do, not the operator's.
- Source terms and politeness
- Respect the terms and robots directives of what you collect from. Rate limits here are conservative by default, and asking for them to be lifted is not a request that gets granted.
- No probing the platform
- Do not use the fetcher to reach networks it should not reach, and do not try to read another workspace. Both are refused, and attempting either is enough to end access.
- One account, one person
- The account is issued to you. Passing it on, or running the service on behalf of a third party, is outside what was agreed.
Collected contact records can hold personal data about people at businesses. The obligations that come with that are yours as the collector — how that data is handled here is described on /privacy.
What is not promised
This runs on a single server with no redundancy. There is no availability target, no maintenance window, no support commitment and no compensation if it is unreachable. That is a stated position, not an oversight.
Data can be lost. Backups run nightly and are encrypted before they leave the server, recovery is to the last nightly copy, and there is no point-in-time recovery — see /docs/verification. Export what matters to you and keep your own copy.
Features change. Nothing on these public pages is a commitment to build anything, and a capability described today can be removed if it turns out to be wrong.
The data you collect
Records you collect live in your workspace and are reachable only inside it. They are not pooled, aggregated, resold, or used for anything of the platform's own.
The operator has database access, because one person runs the server. That is a fact of the arrangement stated plainly, rather than a permission being quietly claimed in a clause.
Ask through the access-request form and the operator can delete records or an account. There is no self-service deletion control for canonical records, so deletion here is a request a person acts on.
Ending access
Either side can end this at any time, and no notice period is defined. Export what you want to keep before you stop, or ask the operator for a copy while the account is still open.
What these terms do not say
No legal entity, registered address, governing law or dispute procedure is named, because none has been settled. Inventing one would be worse than the gap, so the gap is what you get.
These terms can change. The date at the top is the last time they were reviewed, and there is no mechanism to notify you that they moved — checking the date is the only way to tell.
