Data license
Research data license and reuse policy
Release-specific licensing, attribution, and third-party rights boundaries for Storage Units Near Me self-storage research data.
Published and last reviewed July 11, 2026 by Storage Units Near Me.
Scope
CC BY 4.0 for our research artifacts—not third-party source records
Storage Units Near Me-authored aggregate research tables, research metadata, methodology text, status resources, and audit manifests that identify this policy are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. This makes those named artifacts reusable with attribution while preserving their published caveats and version context.
Before an aggregate dataset is published, the organization still reviews source terms, transformation level, disclosure risk, and redistribution rights. The license never covers raw third-party offers, source-page text, images, logos, or records merely because they informed an aggregate result.
Asset boundary
What is—and is not—available for reuse
| Asset | Current status | Reuse boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Storage Units Near Me-authored research methods, metadata, status files, and audit manifests | Published now | Licensed under CC BY 4.0 with attribution, a canonical link, and retained caveats. |
| Qualified aggregate release tables | Not released | CC BY 4.0 by default; the content-addressed release manifest will identify covered files and any narrower source-driven exception. |
| Storage Units Near Me-authored release charts and machine-readable distributions | Not released | CC BY 4.0 by default; version, attribution text, and checksums will appear in the release manifest. |
| Raw third-party offers and facility-page records | Not distributed | Not relicensed by Storage Units Near Me; source rights and restrictions continue to apply. |
Rights boundary
Third-party material remains third-party material
- Public offer prices, availability, promotion wording, facility descriptions, images, reviews, logos, and trademarks remain subject to the originating source’s rights.
- A source URL, observation timestamp, or transformed statistic does not transfer ownership of the underlying record to Storage Units Near Me.
- Raw captures are retained only as permitted for validation and are not promised as a public download. A release may instead publish aggregate statistics and non-infringing provenance fields.
- No license from Storage Units Near Me grants a right to use a third party’s brand, bypass access controls, ignore robots instructions, or violate source terms.
Release manifest
What a qualified release will declare
- A permanent release identifier, semantic version, publication date, and canonical URL.
- The exact files covered by the license, their media types, and SHA-256 checksums.
- The license name and URL, attribution wording, and any field- or geography-level exceptions.
- Source classes, transformation level, suppression rules, and known reuse restrictions.
- A link to the superseded version when a corrected or revised release is published.
Conditions
Attribution and responsible representation
Reusers must identify Storage Units Near Me as the publisher, name the artifact or release and version, link to its canonical page, retain material caveats, and indicate changes. Reuse must not imply endorsement, external peer review, academic affiliation, or a precision the artifact does not support.
If a desired use falls outside the published terms, request permission before publishing it. A rights request should identify the release, fields, geography, intended audience, format, and whether the use is commercial.
