1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using DataNet, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree, do not use the site. DataNet is a public transparency database intended to organize public-facing information, user submissions, reports, agency records, official profiles, vehicle records, documents, and related materials for review and publication.
2. Purpose of DataNet
DataNet is designed to support public transparency by organizing records and submissions into a searchable database. DataNet may include information about government agencies, public officials, public vehicles, reports, documents, news-related records, and other transparency-related materials.
3. User Accounts
Some features, including submissions and report filing, may require an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for all activity submitted through your account.
4. User Submissions
Users may submit reports, agency records, official profile information, vehicle records, documents, corrections, and other public-interest materials. By submitting content, you represent that you have a good-faith basis for the submission and that the information is not knowingly false, intentionally misleading, unlawful, malicious, or submitted for harassment.
- Do not submit private personal information unless it is lawfully public and directly relevant to the public-interest record.
- Do not submit fabricated records, altered documents, impersonation content, or knowingly false accusations.
- Do not submit copyrighted material unless you have permission, a lawful basis, or the material is appropriate for public-interest review.
- Do not use DataNet to threaten, harass, stalk, intimidate, or target any person.
5. Review, Editing, and Publication
Submitting information does not guarantee publication. DataNet administrators or reviewers may approve, reject, archive, edit for formatting, request more information, connect the submission to an agency or official, or remove content from public display. DataNet may also retain submitted materials internally for moderation, audit, abuse prevention, or review history.
6. Public Display of Approved Content
Approved submissions may become publicly visible. Public display may include titles, summaries, report numbers, submitted details, agency or official connections, source documents, public records, uploaded files, and publication status. Users should not submit anything they are not prepared to have reviewed for potential public display.
7. Accuracy and Corrections
DataNet attempts to organize information in a responsible way, but records may be incomplete, disputed, outdated, or later corrected. Users, agencies, officials, and members of the public may submit correction requests through the available contact or correction process.
8. Prohibited Use
You may not use DataNet to interfere with site operations, scrape or abuse the system, upload malicious files, attempt unauthorized access, impersonate another person, or submit content that violates applicable law.

10. Account Suspension or Removal
