Licensing

What you may do with the data, in plain words first and in detail below.

In short

• The open map layer is OpenStreetMap data under the ODbL. Use it, share it and build on it. Credit OpenStreetMap, and share any changed version of that data under the same licence.
• Everything we add is a separate dataset. Researched operator, classification, workforce, status, photos, sources and market counts are our enriched layer and derived insights. They are joined to the map layer only by a site ID.
• Premium licenses the enriched layer for use inside your company. Reselling it, redistributing it or putting it in a product you sell needs a separate data licence.
• No personal data. Named contacts are not part of any plan or data licence.
• Other open sources keep their own terms. Their credits are on the sources page and travel with the data.

1. Open map layer (OpenStreetMap, ODbL)

Site names, types, locations and operator tags in the free layer come from OpenStreetMap. That data is © OpenStreetMap contributors and available under the Open Database Licence (ODbL) 1.0.

Attribution

Wherever you show or publish this data, credit it as: © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL, with a link to openstreetmap.org/copyright where you can.

Share-alike, simply put

• If you change or add to the map data itself and make that database public, you must offer your version under the ODbL too.
• If you make a map, chart, report or other work from the data, only the credit is needed. The work itself can be under any licence you choose.
• Using the data only inside your company does not trigger share-alike.

Giving back

When our research finds errors in OpenStreetMap, we contribute corrections back to it.

2. Enriched layer and derived insights (commercial licence)

A separate, linked dataset

The enriched layer is our own work: research, official registers, company filings and other licensed sources. It is stored as its own dataset and linked to the open map layer only by the site ID. It is not a changed version of the OpenStreetMap data. We do not compute enriched fields from OpenStreetMap tags or geometry. Derived insights, such as market counts and TAM results, are calculated from the enriched layer.

What you may do

• Use the data inside your own company, by the users set up on your Premium.
• Analyse it, plan territories, size markets and load it into your own CRM or tools (export and HubSpot push come with Map Premium).
• Quote aggregated figures, such as a count of sites in a region, in your own reports and presentations, with the credit below.

What needs a separate data licence

• Selling, sublicensing or giving the data, in whole or in part, to anyone outside your company.
• Publishing site-level records, for example on a website or in a public dataset.
• Building the data into a product or service you sell.
• Using the data to build a competing register.

Partners and resellers can ask for a data licence through the Premium request form.

Attribution

When you quote figures from the enriched layer or derived insights, credit them as: Source: Hazardous Area Sites. Exports carry this credit and the credits of the underlying sources.

When Premium ends

To be defined by legal: what happens to exported data and to work you made with it when Premium ends.

3. Other open sources

Some records also use public registers and open datasets under their own licences, such as CC BY 4.0, CC BY-SA 4.0, Open Government Licences and Licence Ouverte. Their credits are shown on each site record that uses them, in every export and on the sources page. Records that use share-alike sources are shared under the same terms for that part of the data.

4. Personal data

No plan and no data licence includes named people or their contact details. This keeps the data out of scope for personal-data rules such as the GDPR when you use it. How we handle the personal data of people who use this site is in our privacy notice.
