What is CredScapeBot?

CredScapeBot is a specialized crawler operated by CredScape Market Intelligence Inc. designed to index and analyze public information regarding non-credit courses, certificates, and professional development programs. It employs a privacy-conscious approach by scrubbing personal identifiers like phone numbers and email addresses before processing, and it utilizes zero-retention AI pipelines for data extraction. The bot is highly transparent, providing a public key directory for request verification and clear instructions for site owners to opt-out or request data removal.

Helpful — The bot provides clear identification, respects robots.txt, honors specific content signals (ai-input=no, search=no), and maintains a transparent data retention policy.
