Terms

Terms of use

Hafrok is published by Hjörtur Páll Hjartar in Denmark. Using the site means accepting what follows. In short: read it, quote it, cite it, build your own thinking on it. If you want to republish the data itself, say hello first.

What you may do

A citation like Hafrok, hafrok.com, data as of 9 September 2026 is exactly right.

What needs a word first

Not prohibitions, and not a hard line to make you go away. They are the cases where a conversation makes the outcome better for both of us. Write to [email protected] and expect a straight answer:

Data that is not ours to license

Hafrok stands on public datasets that carry their own terms, and those terms travel with the data no matter what this page says. Where a figure or a map layer comes from the Global Energy Monitor, EMODnet, Marine Regions, the Global Power Plant / grid datasets or OpenStreetMap, that licence governs. Several of them are Creative Commons Attribution, which means you have rights we could not take away and would not want to. Each one is credited on Data sources & licences, and every fact on a project page cites the specific source behind it.

Sources, quotations and copyright

Project pages quote short passages from primary documents (consent orders, auction results, company filings) because showing the working is the point of the platform. Journalism and paid research are different: those sources are cited by publisher, title, date and link, and never quoted, because the words belong to whoever wrote them. If you follow a link to a news article, that publisher's terms apply to you, not ours.

What Hafrok is not
