Oracle Acceptable Use

The InMyCity Oracle API provides aggregate, place-level civic intelligence for research, planning, and product features — not for individual surveillance or automated harm.

Permitted uses

  • Aggregate neighborhood trajectory analysis and dashboards
  • Research, journalism, and civic transparency with appropriate caveats
  • Product features that surface block- or city-level trends with human review

Prohibited uses

  • Individual targeting, stalking, or enforcement against specific people
  • Automated lending, insurance, or employment decisions without human review
  • Uses that violate fair housing, fair lending, or equal credit opportunity law
  • Re-identification of individuals from aggregate civic records

Technical requirements

  • Every Oracle REST request must include attestation header X-InMyCity-Attestation: prohibited-use-accepted-v1
  • Oracle MCP (@inmycity/oracle-mcp) requires the same attestation via env INMYCITY_ORACLE_ATTESTATION=prohibited-use-accepted-v1 — the server will not start without it. Setup: Developer docs
  • Business, Analyst Firm, or Enterprise tier with recorded account attestation
  • Responses include prohibited-use notices; misuse patterns are monitored
