Privacy Policy

Learn about how we take privacy with the Spider project.

Spider offers a cutting-edge data scraping service with powerful AI capabilities. Our data collecting platform is designed to help users maximize the benefits of data collection while embracing the advancements in AI technology. With our innovative tools, we provide a seamless and fast interactive experience. This privacy policy details Spider's approach to product development, deployment, and usage, encompassing the Crawler, AI products, and features.

AI Development at Spider

Spider leverages a robust combination of proprietary code, open-source frameworks, and synthetic datasets to train its cutting-edge products. To continuously improve our offerings, Spider may utilize inputs from user-generated prompts and content, obtained from trusted third-party providers. By harnessing this diverse data, Spider can deliver highly precise and pertinent recommendations to our valued users. While the foundational data crawling aspect of Spider is openly available on Github, the dashboard and AI components remain closed source. Spider respects all robots.txt files declared on websites allowing data to be extracted without harming the website.

Security, Privacy, and Trust

At Spider, our utmost priority is the development and implementation of Crawlers, AI technologies, and products that adhere to ethical, moral, and legal standards. We are dedicated to creating a secure and respectful environment for all users. Safeguarding user data and ensuring transparency in its usage are core principles we uphold. In line with this commitment, we provide the following important disclosures when utilizing our AI-related products:

  • Spider ensures comprehensive disclosure of features that utilize third-party AI platforms. To provide clarity, these integrations will be clearly indicated through distinct markers, designations, explanatory notes that appear when hovering, references to the underlying codebase, or any other suitable form of notification as determined by the system.
