Data scraping, or third parties taking personal data from your profile without permission, is a breach of our policies and when necessary we take legal action as part of our efforts to combat it. We will continue to fight on behalf of our members to stop illegal scraping. From taking legal action against unauthorized scraping to making significant investments in technical defenses, we are committed to keeping the control of data where it belongs - with our members.
