Acceptable use policy
Last updated: 2026-05-01
Certaby is for legitimate compliance, due-diligence, and business-decision use cases. The list below is non-exhaustive but covers the patterns we will not support.
Don't:
- Use Certaby to harass, dox, or otherwise target individuals beyond what your professional role requires.
- Re-publish Certaby results on a public-facing site or sell them as a derivative dataset.
- Use scripted automation to evade per-check pricing — we offer a programmatic API at stratumapis.com for that use case.
- Run checks on your own director-self for the purpose of stripping the resulting PDF cert of context.
- Misrepresent a Certaby PDF as having any official endorsement from the FCA, Companies House, OFSI, or any other regulator.
Do:
- Run checks as part of your KYC / KYB / AML workflow.
- Bundle the PDF certificate into your own client file or audit pack.
- Reach out at hello@certaby.com if you're unsure whether your use case fits.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that materially breach this policy, with a refund of any unused credit.
