> Terms of use, the source's conditions and the U.S. legal notices.

## Terms

### Using the site

The pages are free to read and link to. Nothing here is legal advice, a license, a certificate or a consumer report.

### The sources, and what they require

This site republishes public registers. Source by source: the licence it is published under, and the condition its publisher sets — read from the publisher's own terms page, on the date shown.

| Source | Licence | What the publisher requires |
|---|---|---|
| New York City Department of Consumer and Worker Protection — Issued Licenses | NYC Open Data terms of use | NYC Open Data may be used freely; the City makes no warranty. We credit the DCWP, state on every page that this site is not affiliated with the City, and do not download individual licenses or phone numbers. — Terms read on 2026-10-02, terms |

### ⚠️ Not a consumer reporting agency

This site is **not** a consumer reporting agency as defined by
the **Fair Credit Reporting Act** (15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.), and
nothing published or sold here is a consumer report.

You may not use this site, its pages, its search, its API or any dataset
obtained from it, in whole or in part, as a factor in deciding a person's
eligibility for:

- **employment**, promotion, reassignment or retention;
- **credit** or insurance underwriting;
- **housing** or tenancy;
- any other purpose covered by the FCRA.

Verifying that a licence exists, directly with the issuing authority, is a
different act from screening a person — and where a decision about someone
depends on it, the check belongs with a screening company that operates as a
consumer reporting agency and carries the obligations that come with it.

### Names, and why they appear here

This site republishes a public register that names people in their
professional capacity. It does not use anyone's name or identity to endorse,
advertise or sell anything, which is what New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50-51 prohibits in New York.

The distinction is not a technicality and we hold ourselves to it: no name
on this site appears in an advertisement, and no name is used to suggest that
someone recommends, supplies or is associated with anything sold here. If you
think a page crosses that line, tell us and it comes down.

### Having your entry removed

If you are named on this site and would rather not be, [write to us](/contact.md) and we will remove you. You do not have to explain why, and we
will not ask.

Two things this cannot do, and we say so plainly rather than let you find
out later: it does not change the official register, which is where the record
actually lives; and it does not remove you from anyone else's copy of the same
public data.

### Publisher

This site is published and operated by an individual. Contact details are on [the contact page](/contact.md). Hosting is provided by Cloudflare, Inc.
