We make no claim of copyright over either the data we have collected ourselves, nor the hundreds of hours of collective value added by our co-curators. That said, we can accept no liability for any issues that may arise over the re-use of this data, and you are advised to make your own assessment.

We do not store photographs on our site. Instead, we connect and add context to existing resources on the web. We supply links to images that you could display within your own app with the appropriate attribution. Some images are 'non-commercial' and you should decide whether to display them or not.

We love it when you acknowledge Open Plaques and link back to us - but you are under no obligation to do so.

We obtain information from local lists on the internet (council web sites, civic society pages, etc). We do not copy from other plaque collecting sites. We ask other sites to accord us the same respect.
