Answers to your questions
Frequently asked questions about the Store, the Pilots, billing and legal compliance.
General
What is BrandWitness?
BrandWitness is a suite of data collection tools (the Store) and continuous AI products (the Pilots), built to extract, monitor and automate actions on the web.
Is it legal to use scraping tools?
Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed, but legality depends on your use case, your jurisdiction and the terms of the platforms you target. You remain solely responsible for the compliance of your use: see our Terms of Use.
The Store
How do credits work?
Each job consumes credits based on the tool used, the options enabled and the requested result volume. The simulator on the Pricing page lets you estimate the cost before running a job.
What export formats are available?
Results are available in your dashboard. You can also export them as CSV, JSON, or sync them directly to Google Sheets depending on the tool.
How long does an extraction take?
Duration depends on the requested volume and the tool. Jobs run in the background and you're notified once the result is ready.
The Pilots
What's the difference with the Store?
The Store extracts once and stops. Pilots run continuously: they monitor, act or generate content over time, without a manual restart.
Do I need to configure anything daily?
No, once a Pilot is set up it runs on its own. You can adjust its settings at any time.
Billing
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, subscriptions have no minimum commitment and can be cancelled at any time from your account.
How is my monthly cost calculated?
It depends on the tools and Pilots used and your actual volume. Check the Pricing page for a detailed estimate.
Legal & compliance
Where is my data hosted?
The platform's infrastructure is deployed in Europe.
Am I responsible for how I use the collected data?
Yes. BrandWitness provides the collection tool, but the user remains solely responsible for the legality and purpose of their use, in accordance with our Terms of Use.
