Can I Scrape Personal Data Legally?

GDPR in Europe and other worldwide regulations protect personal data with safety and privacy rules. We have designed our scrapers ethically that don't scrape private data like location, gender, or email IDs. They only scrape public data that users allow the public to use. Hence, we believe that our data scraper APIs are only available for the ethical use and are safe. But note that you may get some personal data in your output by mistake. Don't scrape any personal data without any genuine reason or prior permission. You can consult your lawyers if you are unaware that the reason is genuine.
