Introduction: Balancing Technological Innovation and Compliance
AI MQL LLC (hereinafter “the Company”) is a fintech company that provides global development, maintenance, operation, and testing services combining MT4/MT5 (MQL4/MQL5) with cutting-edge AI technology. Diverse data serves as an essential foundation for financial market analysis, advanced risk management solutions, and AI agent development.
Web scraping (automated information collection technology from websites) is a powerful means for efficiently collecting such data, but its use requires legal regulations, compliance with target site terms of service, and high ethical standards.
The Company firmly believes that technological innovation should contribute to the healthy development of markets, and positions compliance as the most critical foundation (“deep moat”) of our business. This policy declares that the Company will appropriately utilize scraping technology based on the principles of “Compliance First” and “Legal by Design.”
Basic Policy
The Company establishes the following basic policies for the development and use of scraping functions.
- Ensuring Legality: We comply with Japanese laws and applicable international regulations and guidelines.

- Ethical Considerations: We respect the rights and interests of website operators and users.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations
The Company strictly complies with the following applicable laws and regulations.
- Copyright Act
- We respect the copyright of content on websites (text, images, datasets, etc.).
- Collected data is used only within the scope permitted by copyright law (e.g., use for information analysis purposes, fair quotation, etc.). We do not engage in scraping for the purpose of directly copying, republishing, or redistributing content without the copyright holder’s permission.
- Unauthorized Computer Access Law
- We do not engage in any acts of technically circumventing access control functions (ID/password authentication, CAPTCHA, etc.) or impersonating others to obtain information.

Respect for Terms of Service
We recognize that website Terms of Service (ToS) constitute contracts between site operators and users, and we respect them.
- Confirmation and Compliance with Terms of Service
- We always confirm the terms of service of target sites before implementing scraping.
- When terms of service explicitly prohibit automated data collection (scraping, crawling, etc.), we do not, in principle, conduct scraping on such sites.
- Priority Use of APIs

Ethical Considerations and Technical Safeguards
In addition to complying with laws and terms of service, the Company practices ethical data collection from technical aspects (Politeness Policy).

- Excessive frequency of access can burden target servers and interfere with site operations. The Company minimizes load through the following technical measures.
