ContentsGeneralWe are in principle happy for our cell-id information to be used by external users for creative and unexpected uses. However, OpenCellID's community servers are run entirely on donated resources. OpenCellID data is free for everyone to use. Our servers are not. Below are the minimum requirements that users of the OpenCellID community servers must adhere to. These may change in future, depending on available resources. But because OpenCellID data is free, other organisations provide services made from OpenCellID data. If your project doesn't meet these requirements, you can get OpenCellID data elsewhere.

Technical Usage Requirements
Note: modern web browsers in standard configuration generally pass all the above technical requirements. Changes to this policyThis policy may change at any time subject to the needs and constraints of the project. Commercial services, or those that seek donations, should be especially aware that access may be withdrawn at any point: you may no longer be able to serve your paying customers if access is withdrawn.
