AI use of ElecTrace content

Allowed on every page

• Indexing the page for search.
• Fetching the page while answering a person’s question (retrieval, grounding and AI search summaries), quoting from it and linking to it.

Brand pages: also allowed for model training

• /
• /trace
• /compute
• /demo
• /llms.txt

Method, database and data pages: not for model training

These paths, and everything under them, may be read, quoted and cited, but not used to train or fine-tune a model or to build or extend a dataset:

• /compute/wiki
• /compute/uk-data-centres
• /methodology
• /data/

The full database files under /data/uk-data-centres/ are for people to download and cite; automated bulk collection is not permitted.

How this is stated for machines

• robots.txt allows every crawler on the whole site except the full database files, declares Content-Signal: search=yes, ai-input=yes, and keeps these training-only crawlers out of the method, database and data paths: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Applebot-Extended, meta-externalagent, Amazonbot, CCBot, Bytespider.
• /.well-known/tdmrep.json reserves text and data mining rights for the same paths and links to this page.
• The database’s Dataset structured data names this page as its licence.

Source evidence
