Acceptable use policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

This policy is part of the terms of service. It sets out how OnSanctions may be used. If you breach it, we may suspend the affected keys or account, as the terms provide.

1. Permitted use

Use OnSanctions to screen people and companies you have a lawful reason to screen, such as customer due diligence, sanctions compliance, supplier and counterparty checks, and fraud and risk management.

2. Prohibited use

  • Screening people without a lawful basis, or sending personal data you have no right to process.
  • Using results to harass, stalk, discriminate against or unlawfully deny services to anyone.
  • Helping anyone evade sanctions or other laws.
  • Using results for employment, tenancy, credit or insurance decisions about consumers where specific laws (such as the US FCRA) apply.
  • Scraping, bulk-querying or reselling results, or building a copy of the underlying lists.
  • Probing, load-testing or attacking the service outside our responsible disclosure policy.

3. API keys

Don't share an API key outside your organization or put it in client-side code. Use a separate key for each system, limit live keys to your servers' IP addresses where you can, and revoke a key that leaks.

4. Rate limits

  • The screening API allows 60 requests a minute per organization.
  • Quick check allows 5 checks a minute from one address. Paid plans include 30 checks a day for the organization.
  • Test keys have daily limits.

5. Reporting misuse

Report suspected misuse to hello@onsanctions.com, and security issues under the responsible disclosure policy.
