Security · Intellectual Property · Acceptable Use
How we protect our content, what's permitted, what's prohibited, and how to request licensing or partnership. We want our work cited, taught, and built on. We don't want it scraped, harvested, or competitively audited.
Read every article, use every calculator, take every training module. That's what this is for. Apply the concepts in your own business.
Quote up to 200 words from any article with a clear citation back to the source URL on this site. For longer excerpts, reach out — we usually say yes.
Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Baidu, OpenAI (GPTBot), Anthropic (ClaudeBot), Perplexity, Google-Extended, CCBot, and other major AI/search crawlers have full access. We want to be cited.
Link to any page. Embed an excerpt with attribution. Reference a tool in a tweet, blog post, or LinkedIn article. We appreciate links.
Automated harvesting of pages, content, datasets, or media — by any means, for any purpose other than search engine indexing — is prohibited. This includes Screaming Frog, AhrefsBot, SemrushBot, Diffbot in unauthorized modes, and any custom scraper.
Crawling this site to feed competitor analysis tools, audit our SEO patterns for replication, extract our schema/structured data for training, or build a derivative competing property is prohibited under our Terms of Use.
Reposting articles in full, mirroring tools on another domain, repackaging content as your own — all prohibited. Excerpt-with-attribution is fine. Wholesale republication is not.
Images, diagrams, illustrations, visual designs, and other assets are © RGM® and not available for download or reuse without written licensing. The watermark overlay on images is technical confirmation; the legal restriction stands regardless.
While we allow general-purpose AI crawlers for citation and answer-engine purposes, we do not consent to use of this site's content for fine-tuning derivative AI models that compete with RGM's services or republish RGM's content. If you operate an AI model and want to discuss licensed access, contact us.
We use a layered defensive approach:
If you want to license content for training, syndicate articles, request permission for republication, ask about an agency partnership, or discuss a custom data feed — reach out at hello@realgrowthmatters.com. We say yes more often than people expect.
If you encounter site content being scraped, mirrored, or republished without permission, please let us know at legal@realgrowthmatters.com. We pursue documented violations.
If you find a security issue on the site, please report it responsibly to security@realgrowthmatters.com. We acknowledge within 48 hours and credit researchers who follow responsible disclosure.
