🔗 Legality of web scraping and scraping of job listings

The Patreon Premium Creator & Posts Scraper is designed to ethically extract only publicly available data, and it does not scrape private user data such as personal email addresses or personal identifiers.

Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. You can also read our blog post on the legality of web scraping
