AI-DLC / Data Lifecycle

This actor follows AI-DLC principles for ethical data handling:

• Collection — Public data only; respects robots.txt and rate limits.
• Processing — In-memory normalization; no PII logging.
• Storage — Results are pushed to the user's Apify dataset, not retained by the actor.
• Usage — Designed for analysis, enrichment, and legitimate outreach.
• Disposal — No long-term caching of user data between runs.
