Data Usage Policy

This policy applies to all data provided by Fraudcache, including:

• Blocklist feeds (spam, scanners, botnets, web attacks)
• API responses and reputation scores
• Confidence scores and metadata
• Statistics and aggregated data

Subject to compliance with this policy, Fraudcache grants you a non-exclusive, revocable license to:

• Use our data for internal security purposes
• Integrate our feeds into your security infrastructure
• Display reputation information in your applications

When using or displaying our data publicly, you must provide attribution to Fraudcache. Example:

You may not:

• Resell or redistribute our raw data commercially
• Use our data to harass, discriminate against, or harm individuals
• Claim our data as your own or remove attribution
• Use our data in violation of applicable laws
• Make automated decisions affecting individuals solely based on our data
• Use our data as the sole basis for denying services without review

IP addresses may be incorrectly flagged. Reputation scores may not reflect current status. Data may be outdated or incomplete. You should always verify information independently before taking action.

Specifically, we are not liable for:

• Blocking of legitimate traffic based on our data
• Lost business, revenue, or profits
• Reputational damage to you or third parties
• Decisions made using our reputation scores
• False positives or false negatives in our data
• Service interruptions or data unavailability
• Any actions taken by third parties based on our data

You are solely responsible for:

• Evaluating the suitability of our data for your use case
• Implementing appropriate review processes before blocking IPs
• Providing recourse for users affected by your use of our data
• Complying with applicable laws in your jurisdiction

For best results, we recommend:

• Use as a signal, not a verdict: Combine our data with other security signals
• Implement thresholds: Use confidence scores to filter low-confidence entries
• Provide appeals: Allow blocked users to request review
• Stay updated: Regularly refresh your blocklist data
