Terms of use

Last updated 26 Oct 2026

These terms apply to your use of priresearch.in, run by the Policy and Research Initiative (PRI), a registered society based in Malappuram, Kerala. By using the website you agree to them.

Using our research and data

  • You may read, download, share and quote PRI's publications, data stories and open datasets for research, teaching, journalism, policy work and other non-commercial purposes.
  • Please credit PRI whenever you use our work. Each dataset page shows a suggested citation; for publications, cite the title, PRI and the date.
  • If a dataset or publication states its own licence or conditions, those apply instead.
  • For commercial use, or to republish a whole publication, please ask us first at contact@priresearch.in.

Restricted datasets

Some datasets are available on request or only to PRI staff. If you are given access to one, use it only for the purpose you described, do not share the files with others, and follow any conditions attached to the approval. We may withdraw access if these conditions are not met.

Accounts

You need a free account to download datasets. Give accurate details when you sign up and confirm your email address. Keep your password to yourself, and tell us at once if you think someone else has used your account. We may suspend accounts that are misused, for example ones created to collect data in bulk.

What you send us

When you send us a message or an application, make sure the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it. Do not upload anything unlawful, harmful or that belongs to someone else.

Acceptable use

Do not try to break into, overload or disrupt the website, get around access limits, or collect information from it in bulk in ways that strain it or ignore these terms.

Accuracy
