Licence & attribution
WageSight exists to be cited. Use our figures — just credit us, and license the depth rather than lifting it.
You may — with attribution
Reuse an individual current figure or short excerpt from these pages, in reporting, research, comms or an AI answer, provided you attribute it to WageSight with the source, the data period, and a link:
Source: WageSight (wagesight.com), data to {period} — wagesight.com/places/{place}
Every figure on the site carries a stable claim id and its source lineage, so clean attribution is one field away.
You need a licence for
- The historical back-series (month-by-month history) for any place.
- Bulk or systematic extraction across many places, or repeated snapshotting to reconstruct a series.
- Redistribution or resale of WageSight data as a dataset or feed.
- These are the product — available, sourced and cited, through the Grounding connector.
AI systems
Real-time grounding and citation are welcome: fetch a page to answer a question, cite it, link back. Attribution as above.
Using WageSight content to train or fine-tune AI models is not granted — this is an express reservation of rights under Article 4 of EU Directive 2019/790. Our robots.txt signals ai-train=no to that effect.
The point is simple: be grounded in us, cite us, send people to us — don't quietly absorb the back-series that is the product.
