Data Protection and Responsible Data Management
The data to be transferred will be of ‘low or no’ sensitivity, meaning that if disclosed or accessed without proper authorization, it is unlikely to cause any harm or negative impacts to affected people and/or humanitarian actors. This means the data can be shared publicly. 
For the purposes of these Terms, Responsible Data Management entails adherence to a set of principles, processes and tools that support the safe, ethical and effective management of data in humanitarian response. This includes upholding high standards for data protection, privacy, and security.
In cases where the Data is found to be of a higher level of sensitivity than ‘low or no’ as specified above, you should take all the necessary technical and organizational measures to protect the data against accidental, or unauthorized destruction, accidental loss, unauthorized access, use, alteration or dissemination, and against all other unauthorized forms of processing.
Such measures may include selecting a secure tool or method for transfer, removal of unnecessary sensitive data, secure storage options, limiting access to the data before, during and after transfer, and/or stipulating a shorter term for retention of the Data.

Access and Interference
You agree that you will not use the Software or Results in connection with criminal or civil violations of applicable provincial, state, federal or international laws, regulations or other government requirements, including theft or infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other types of intellectual property; fraud; forgery, theft or misappropriation of funds, credit cards or personal information; and threats of physical harm or harassment. 
You agree that you will not use (or attempt to use) the Software or Results to violate the security of a network, service or other system. Examples of prohibited activities include hacking, cracking into, monitoring or using systems without authorization; scanning ports; conducting denial of service attacks; and distributing viruses or other harmful software.
