Onet's Zapytaj service bans unauthorized web scraping in Poland

Ringier Axel Springer Polska (RASP), the publisher of the Polish Q&A portal Zapytaj.onet.pl, states that systematic collection of content, data or information from its site—including web crawling, bots, or automated tools—is prohibited without explicit consent. The restriction is framed under the Digital Services Act, emphasizing that any use of the site’s material for training artificial intelligence or other software development must be authorised. The notice lists various methods of data extraction that are disallowed, such as web crawlers, automated scripts, and manual copying, and provides a brief exception for activities that facilitate search‑engine indexing.

The policy applies to all users accessing Zapytaj.onet.pl from Poland and reinforces the publisher’s rights to protect its content and limit unauthorised reuse.
