Acceptable Use

The Service is provided for lawful security research, threat intelligence, and defensive cybersecurity purposes. You agree not to:

• —Use threat intelligence data to harass, threaten, stalk, or target any individual or organization.
• —Use the data to conduct, facilitate, or plan any form of cyberattack or unauthorized access.
• —Scrape, crawl, or extract data from the Service beyond the limits of your API access tier.

• —Use the Service in any manner that violates applicable local, national, or international law.

API Usage & Rate Limits

Access to the API is subject to rate limits determined by your account tier. Current tier allocations are published on the Service and may be updated at any time.

You must not attempt to circumvent rate limits through the use of multiple accounts, proxy rotation, credential sharing, or any other method. Violations may result in immediate suspension of API access.

SikkerAPI reserves the right to throttle, restrict, or revoke API access at its sole discretion, including in response to abuse, excessive load, or behavior that degrades the Service for other users.

API keys are confidential. You must store them securely and must not embed them in client-side code, public repositories, or any other publicly accessible location.

Data & Privacy

By using the Service, you acknowledge that SikkerAPI collects and processes certain data, including:

• —Registration information (name, email, country, account type, company details where applicable).
• —IP addresses used to access the Service, including your registration IP.
• —API usage logs, including queries made, timestamps, and response metadata.
• —Device identifiers associated with your account sessions.

Data is processed under the lawful basis of performance of contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) for account registration and provision of the Service, and legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) for security, abuse prevention, and improvement of the Service.

SikkerAPI complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable Danish data protection law.

Data retention periods vary by category. Account data is retained for the lifetime of the account and for up to 12 months following deletion. Usage logs are retained for up to 24 months. Threat intelligence data derived from contributions is aggregated at submission and purged after 30 days of inactivity. Raw reports are deleted after 30 days.

Listing correction requests apply only to public listings and search results and are granted for verified control and valid reasons (e.g., false positives, ownership changes, or dynamic reassignment). Internal telemetry and aggregated security signals may be retained as described in our Privacy Policy. To request removal, see sikkerapi.com/removeme.

You may exercise your rights under GDPR (access, rectification, erasure, portability, objection) by contacting us at the address provided in the Contact section.

Contributor Terms

By submitting Contributions to the Service, you grant SikkerAPI a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, aggregate, and distribute the contributed data as part of the Service's threat intelligence dataset.

You represent that any data you submit is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. You must not submit data obtained through unauthorized access, illegal interception, or in violation of any third-party agreement.

SikkerAPI is not obligated to act on any Contribution. Reports may be validated, aggregated, weighted, or discarded at our discretion. Contribution-based tier benefits are calculated based on validated submissions only.

Intellectual Property

All aggregated threat intelligence data, risk scoring algorithms, behavioral analysis models, and the Service itself are the intellectual property of SikkerAPI. No transfer of ownership is implied by your use of the Service.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use query results from the API for your internal security operations. This license does not extend to bulk redistribution, resale, or the creation of derivative datasets.

If you redistribute or publish findings derived from SikkerAPI data (e.g., in security reports or research), you must provide attribution to SikkerAPI as a data source.

Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The Service and all data provided through it are offered on an "as is" and "as available" basis. SikkerAPI makes no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any threat intelligence data.

SikkerAPI shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or costs arising from decisions or actions taken based on data obtained from the Service, including automated decisions. This includes, without limitation, blocking legitimate traffic, false positive classifications, automated threat scoring, or reliance on outdated information.

SikkerAPI does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service. Scheduled and unscheduled downtime may occur. No service level agreement (SLA) is provided unless separately agreed upon in writing.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, SikkerAPI's total liability for any claim arising from or related to these Terms shall not exceed the amount paid by you to SikkerAPI in the 12 months preceding the claim, or EUR 100, whichever is greater.

Suspension & Termination

SikkerAPI reserves the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to the Service, other users, or third parties.

Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases immediately. Any API keys associated with your account will be revoked. Data you submitted as Contributions is subject to the same retention policy as all threat intelligence data (30 days of inactivity).

You may delete your account at any time through the Service. Account deletion will remove your personal data in accordance with our data retention policy, subject to legal obligations requiring continued retention.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Kingdom of Denmark, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising from or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Denmark.

For users located within the European Union, this does not affect your rights under mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence.

SikkerAPI complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Danish Data Protection Act (Databeskyttelsesloven). Where these Terms conflict with mandatory provisions of applicable law, the mandatory provisions shall prevail.

Changes to Terms

SikkerAPI reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated via email to the address associated with your account or through a prominent notice on the Service.

Continued use of the Service after the effective date of any modification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must discontinue use and delete your account.
