Terms of use

Last updated November 9, 2026

DataCenterDialog.com is a personal project of its founder, Scott Goldman. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

Information, not advice

Everything on this site is for general information. It is not legal, financial, investment, engineering, health or other professional advice. Check original sources — every fact links to one — and consult a qualified professional before making decisions.

Accuracy and corrections

We work hard to be accurate and link to original sources, but figures change and mistakes happen. The site is provided “as is,” without guarantees of completeness or accuracy. If you spot an error, please tell us — corrections are listed openly in the Corrections log.

Opinion pieces and outside links

Opinion pieces belong to their authors and represent their views, not ours. Links to other websites are provided so you can check sources; we don’t control those sites and linking is not an endorsement.

Using our content

You’re welcome to quote and share the site’s summaries and charts with credit to DataCenterDialog.com and a link back. Tracker data that comes from Epoch AI (Creative Commons Attribution) and OpenStreetMap (Open Database License) remains under those licenses. Documents in the Library belong to their publishers.

Independence

The site takes no funding from data center developers or opposition groups, and accepts no advertising from any company connected to data centers. Our standards are explained on the Sources & methodology page.

Your submissions

If you send us a message, story, document or opinion piece, you confirm it is yours to share. We may quote or publish submitted material only with your permission.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions? Use the Contact the Founder form.
