> Where SeedBasis's research comes from, the notices our sources ask us to show, and the logos on our pages.

SeedBasis researches every report through 70+ direct integrations with public data services, and web search on top. This page gives the notices those services ask us to show, and credits the logos on our pages. Names and logos belong to their owners. We show them to say where our data comes from; none of these owners endorses SeedBasis or is affiliated with it.

## 1. Notices our sources ask for

Where a source's terms ask for a notice beside its data, a report shows it beside each quote from that source and prints it under the sources of its PDF.

## 2. Logos on our pages

Each logo under "Where the research comes from" on our home page is its owner's own file, unchanged, and stored on our server, so your browser never asks the owner's. We show a logo only where the terms we accept as that owner's user do not forbid it. The other sources, Google, X, the App Store, Wikipedia and Stack Overflow among them, are named in words.
