1. Scope of Data Acquisition
Northern Silk Data serves as a specialized repository for trade history and market intelligence. In providing these services, we collect information that allows us to authenticate our researchers and maintain terminal security. This includes:
- Direct Identifiers: Name, professional email address, and institutional affiliation provided via inquiry forms or account registration.
- Infrastructure Logs: IP addresses, browser types, and timestamped patterns of access to our silk data sets to prevent unauthorized scraping.
