  • Updating the Terms of Use to prohibit automated access

What to ask for

Three low-cost protections that residents in other counties have found valuable:

1. Adding robots.txt rules that disallow automated scrapers

2. Including a Terms of Use that prohibits automated access

3. Implementing a notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed (per the AZ, FL, HI, IL, UT model)
