# Acceptable use

> Rules for using StoreInspect API data responsibly.

StoreInspect provides Shopify store intelligence, contact previews, and credit-gated contact reveals. It does not send email, run outreach campaigns, automate sequencing, or provide legal advice.

You are responsible for how you use data returned by the API.

## Allowed uses

Use the API for focused Shopify prospecting and enrichment workflows, including:

* Finding stores that match a clear ICP.
* Enriching known Shopify domains from a CRM, spreadsheet, or internal workflow.
* Previewing relevant contacts before spending reveal credits.
* Revealing selected contacts for legitimate business outreach, research, recruiting, partnerships, or customer support workflows.
* Monitoring your own API usage, quota, and contact-credit consumption.

## Prohibited uses

Do not use StoreInspect to:

* Spam, harass, threaten, or deceive people.
* Run credential attacks, phishing, malware, fraud, or other abusive activity.
* Resell, redistribute, sublicense, publish, or reconstruct the StoreInspect database.
* Walk broad result sets for the purpose of copying or competing with the database.
* Bypass search guardrails, page-size limits, cursor limits, reveal credits, or account limits.
* Attempt to identify, scrape, or infer private contact channels from preview-only responses.
* Ignore opt-outs, suppression requests, unsubscribe requests, or lawful communication preferences.

<Warning>
  API access can be limited, suspended, or revoked for usage that appears abusive, unlawful, or designed to reconstruct the database.
</Warning>

## Outreach compliance

If you use revealed contact data for outreach, you are responsible for complying with laws and rules that apply to your business and recipients, including CAN-SPAM, GDPR, ePrivacy, CASL, PECR, state privacy laws, and industry-specific requirements.

At minimum, use revealed contact data in a way that is relevant, transparent, and easy to opt out of.

## Data handling

Treat revealed emails, phone numbers, and LinkedIn URLs as sensitive business contact data.

* Store revealed data securely.
* Limit access to people and systems that need it.
* Avoid sending revealed data to public analytics tools or client-side logs.
* Delete data when you no longer have a valid business need for it.
