| Inman (2 February 2021) Zillow orders data company to stop scraping its content In a cease-and-desist letter, Zillow accused Datafiniti of improperly using its data. Datafiniti, which also appears to have harvested Redfin data, says it scans info the way Google does "However, Zillow claims that Datafiniti was “systematically harvesting” data and content such as photos from Zillow’s website in violation of the portal’s terms of use. The cease-and-desist letter — which Inman has reviewed — specifically states that Zillow’s terms of use don’t allow companies to use robots, web crawlers and other automated tools to access its site. Zillow also doesn’t let other parties reproduce, display or otherwise use Zillow content," reports Inman. “Zillow Group has worked persistently over the past 16 years to establish goodwill in the real estate industry and your use of data from the Zillow Sites for your commercial purposes is a blatant misrepresentation of a business relationship with Zillow and is causing Zillow reputational harm,” the letter continues," reports Inman.
