Terms And Conditions

Effective date: October 19, 2026

These Terms and Conditions govern your use of this website. By accessing or using the site, you agree to follow these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the website.

Use of the Website

This website is provided for general informational, historical, educational, and personal-safety research purposes. You agree to use it only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not harm the website, its users, or any third party.

Nature of the Content

This site documents locations, groups, institutions, and businesses associated with historical or ongoing risks and documented anti-Black conduct, compiled from the published sources described on our Sources & Methodology page. Danger levels are editorial assessments based on those sources. The content is informational — it exists so people can make informed decisions about their own safety, travel, and spending. It is not an instruction, encouragement, or invitation to confront, harass, threaten, or take any action against any listed place, group, institution, business, or any person. You must not use this website to plan, promote, or carry out harassment, vigilantism, violence, or any unlawful act. Misuse of the site in that way is a violation of these Terms.

Accuracy and Corrections

We work to keep the database accurate, sourced, and peer-reviewed, but we do not guarantee that all information is accurate, complete, current, or error-free. Historical records are sometimes incomplete or disputed, and circumstances change. Any reliance you place on the website is at your own risk. If you believe an entry is wrong, report it via the contact email or the adjustment form — legitimate reports are reviewed against our sources.

User Responsibilities

You are responsible for your own use of the website and for ensuring that your actions comply with applicable laws. You must not attempt to interfere with the website, misuse the search functionality, scrape content without permission, probe or bypass its security measures, introduce malicious code, or use the site in a fraudulent or abusive manner.

Submissions

When you submit information through our forms, you confirm that, to the best of your knowledge, it is truthful and based on real events or documented sources. Knowingly submitting false information is a violation of these Terms. Submissions are reviewed before inclusion and may be edited, rejected, or removed at our discretion.

Downloadable Data

The downloadable exports are provided so the data remains available to the community. You may share them for informational purposes with attribution. You may not present the data as your own work, alter it in a way that misrepresents what this database says, or use it for any purpose prohibited by these Terms.

Third-Party Links and Services

The website includes links to third-party websites and uses outside services for parts of its own functionality, including background map imagery, address lookup, and driving route calculation (see our Privacy Policy for details on these). Submissions through our own forms are not processed by any third-party form provider. We do not control any linked or embedded third-party service and are not responsible for its content or policies.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or its content, or from actions taken by any person based on the content.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
