Terms and Privacy

10 Mar 2023

This terms of use agreement (the "Agreement") governs your use of the collection of Web pages and other digital content (the "Collections") available through the Categorizer.io (the "Categorizer"). If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Categorizer’s Collections or its Web site (the "Site").

Access to Categorizer’s Collections is provided at no cost to you and is granted for educational and research purposes only. You acknowledge that you have read and understood Categorizer’s Privacy Policy and agree that Categorizer may collect, use, and distribute information pursuant to that policy. If you provide any content to Categorizer, you grant Categorizer a nonexclusive, royalty-free right to use that content.

Some of the content available through Categorizer may be governed by local, national, and/or international laws and regulations, and your use of such content is solely at your own risk. You agree to abide by all applicable laws and regulations, including intellectual property laws, in connection with your use of Categorizer. In particular, you certify that your use of any part of Categorizer's Collections will be limited to noninfringing or fair use under copyright law. If a Creative Commons or other license has been declared for particular material on Categorizer, to the extent you trust the declaration and declarer (which is rarely Categorizer.io), you may use the content according to the terms and conditions of the applicable license. In using Categorizer's site, Collections, and/or services, you further agree (a) not to violate anyone's rights of privacy, (b) not to act in any way that might give rise to civil or criminal liability, (e) not to infringe any copyright, trademark, patent, or other proprietary rights of any person, (f) not to transmit or facilitate the transmission of unsolicited email ("spam"), (g) not to harass, threaten, or otherwise annoy anyone, and (h) not to act in any way that might be harmful to minors, including, without limitation, transmitting or facilitating the transmission of child pornography, which is prohibited by federal law and may be reported to the authorities should it be discovered by Categorizer.

While we collect publicly available Internet documents, sometimes authors and publishers express a desire for their documents not to be included in the Collections (by tagging a file for robot exclusion or by contacting us or the original crawler group). If the author or publisher of some part of Categorizer does not want his or her work in our Collections, then we may remove that portion of the Collections without notice.

Categorizer may immediately terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion at any time upon written notice (including via email) to you. Upon termination, you agree that Categorizer may immediately bar you from accessing the Collections or the Site.

Categorizer may modify this Agreement from time to time, and your continued use of the Collections and/or the Site constitutes your acceptance of any and all modifications.

Please note that we reserve the right to sell Categorizer, including all user data and information, at any time without prior notice. In the event of a sale, your rights and obligations as a user may be affected, including access to your data and any changes to these terms and conditions. We will make reasonable efforts to notify users of any such sale, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Because the content of the Collections comes from around the world and from many different sectors, the Collections may contain information that might be deemed offensive, disturbing, pornographic, racist, sexist, bizarre, misleading, fraudulent, or otherwise objectionable. Categorizer does not endorse or sponsor any content in the Collections, nor does it guarantee or warrant that the content available in the Collections is accurate, complete, noninfringing, or legally accessible in your jurisdiction, and you agree that you are solely responsible for abiding by all laws and regulations that may be applicable to the viewing of the content. In addition, the Collections are provided to you on an as-is and as-available basis. You agree that your use of the Site and the Collections is at your sole risk. You understand and agree that Categorizer makes no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, currency, completeness, reliability, or usefulness of the content in the Collections, that the Site or the Collections will meet your requirements, that access to the Collections will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error free, or that defects, if any, will be corrected. We make no warranty of any kind, either express or implied.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Categorizer.io and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, officers, directors, and employees from and against any and all liability, loss, claims, damages, costs, and/or actions (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of Categorizer’s services, the site, or the Collections. You agree that this Agreement is governed by Israeli law and that any suit arising from this Agreement will be brought in Tel Aviv-Yaffo, and each party hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts. In addition, you agree that should any provision in the Agreement be found invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

Under no circumstances, including, without limitation, negligence, shall Categorizer or its parents, affiliates, officers, employees, or agents be responsible for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from or in connection with the use of or the inability to use the Site or the Collections, or any content contained on the Site or in the Collections, or resulting from unauthorized access to the Collections or your transmissions of data, including, without limitation, damages for loss of profits, use, data, or other intangibles, even if Categorizer has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you.

This Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and other policies posted on the Site constitute the full and complete agreement between you and Categorizer and are not intended to inure to third-party beneficiaries.

Privacy Policy

10 Mar 2023

Categorizer.io ("Categorizer") is committed to making its constantly growing collection of Web pages and other forms of digital content (the "Collections") freely available to researchers, scholars, and others ("Researchers") for purposes of benefit to the public. Categorizer offers access to some of its Collections mainly by allowing Researchers to access its Unix machines. This open approach is somewhat like the situation in a public library, where staff and patrons might see who else was in the library and a bit of what they were working on. When Researchers using the Collections log on to the same Unix machine using different accounts, some sharing of information may take place. While Categorizer endeavors to enforce its Terms of Use and maintain standard computer security, it is important for both those who visit the site ("Visitors") and Researchers (collectively, "Users") to be aware of the open nature of Categorizer.

Categorizer may make changes to this policy from time to time and will notify you of such changes by posting an updated date in the Terms, Privacy, and Copyright link at the bottom the home page of Categorizer's Web site (the "Site"). Your continued use of the Site and/or the Collections constitutes your acceptance of any changes to the Privacy Policy concerning, but not limited to, both previously and prospectively collected information.

Because Categorizer uses standard Web logging in its Web servers, our Web server may automatically recognize the domain name of each Visitor, each Visitor’s IP address, what Web page the Visitor requests, and the time of the request, along with a variety of information supplied by the visitor’s browser. See www.microsoft.com and www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox for information about the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator browsers, and see www.vercel.com for details about Web logs.

In addition, Categorizer may collect the email addresses and messages of those who communicate with it via email or who enter email addresses in forms.

Categorizer may use "cookies" to track Users' activities on the Site and in the Collections. Cookies are small files that a server transfers to the hard drive of someone who visits a site and that the server can access when the person returns to the site.

The primary sources of content for the Collections are publicly accessible Web pages that were collected and donated by third parties, but Categorizer will expand on such sources through its own collection activities. For instructions on removing a particular set of pages currently included in the Collections, please see our policies and procedures for page removal.

The communications between you and Categorizer may pass through many machines, operating systems, programs, browsers, Web servers, networks, routers, Ethernet switches, Internet service providers, proxy servers, intranets, the public phone system, or other devices (collectively, "Devices") on your premises, at Categorizer, and in between. Some of these Devices create logs of activities that are recorded on computer systems.

Categorizer has no present intention to charge for access to the Collections. Categorizer may transfer the information on its machines, including personally identifying information, into the Collections. The Collections are made available to researchers and may be made available on the Site, or provided to third parties, for any use, without limitation.

Advances in data mining technology may make it possible to discover more personally identifiable information or profiles in the Collections.

Categorizer may disclose any information it collects from Users if Categorizer believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to enforce its Terms of Use or other policies, to comply with the law, to comply with legal process, to operate its systems properly, or to protect the rights or property of itself, its Users, or others.

We may disclose or transfer your personal information, including your email address, in connection with the sale or transfer of all or a portion of our business or assets, including any merger, financing, acquisition, or bankruptcy transaction, or in the event of a change in control or ownership of our company. If such a transaction occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to ensure that the transferee agrees to use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with this privacy policy.

It is possible that the computers at Categorizer could become compromised by others and that the information on Categorizer’s computers could be collected and disseminated without the knowledge or consent of Categorizer. While Categorizer endeavors to block "hackers" from breaking into its machines, Categorizer is not responsible or liable for any such unauthorized uses of Categorizer or its data.
