Data Licence

For data from the Naturkompass API Suite and Widget · As of: June 2026

This data licence governs how you may reuse data obtained via Naturkompass. It supplements the B2B Terms and the API Terms of Use.

§ 1 Data Categories

Naturkompass data is composed of different components:

  • Third-party source data (e.g. GBIF, GloBI and other scientific sources) under their respective licences (often CC0 or CC BY 4.0). Sources are documented at Data sources.
  • Processed content (structuring, links, texts, scores) created by the provider.

§ 2 Licence for Processed Content

The factual data content processed by the provider is made available to the customer for the use intended in the booked plan under the terms of a CC BY 4.0-compatible licence, unless expressly stated otherwise in the offer. Trademarks, logo, design, software, and source code are excluded.

§ 3 Attribution

When displaying the data publicly, an appropriate source attribution must be provided, e.g.:

"Data: Naturkompass (gartenexpedition.de) and underlying sources (incl. GBIF, GloBI)."

Licence obligations of the original sources (in particular attribution for CC BY) must additionally be complied with by the customer.

§ 4 Permitted and Prohibited Use

  • Permitted: integration, analysis, display, and further processing in your own product.
  • Prohibited: presenting the data as officially/governmentally confirmed;
  • Prohibited: misleading or out-of-context use;
  • Prohibited: building a competing bulk dataset by systematic harvesting (see AUP § 5).

§ 5 Warranty

The data is provided "as is". No warranty is given for completeness, accuracy, currency, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the extent permitted by law. The liability provisions of the B2B Terms apply.
