Apify Development in Derry
Building on Apify for Derry organisations, where what you are permitted to collect matters as much as what you can. Website terms restrict automated access, and anything identifying a person engages UK data protection law regardless of it being publicly visible — so the legal position belongs settled before the technical work starts.
Why this comes up
The problem
A scraper is being built to collect contact details with no view on the data protection position.
What you get
What we deliver
- The legal position established with advice before development begins
- Personal data avoided where the requirement can be met without it
- Site terms reviewed for the specific sources being collected from
- Request rates kept reasonable, since aggressive collection causes real harm
- Retention decided, as scraped data accumulates without anybody choosing to keep it
- Robots directives respected, and departures from them documented deliberately

Apify Development in Derry — common questions
- Is collecting public data lawful?
- Publicly visible does not mean freely usable, particularly where it identifies people. UK data protection obligations apply to personal data however it was obtained, so this is a question for your own advisers rather than one to settle by technical possibility.
- What about site terms?
- They frequently prohibit automated access, and whether that binds you depends on circumstances. It is worth reading the terms of the specific sources rather than assuming a general position, since the answer differs between a public directory and a service you hold an account with.
- Can we avoid personal data?
- Often the requirement can be met without it. Prices, availability, product specifications and aggregate market information carry none of the same obligations, and narrowing the collection to what the business actually needs removes most of the difficulty.
- How fast should collection run?
- Slowly enough not to be a problem for the source. Aggressive collection imposes real cost on somebody else's infrastructure, gets you blocked and weakens any argument that your access was reasonable — throttling is both courteous and self-interested.
- Do you work with businesses across County Londonderry?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Northern Ireland, including Derry and the surrounding County Londonderry area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Derry businesses do you usually work with?
- Cross-border trading systems for businesses working into Donegal, and manufacturing tooling for the north west. Beyond that we work across Manufacturing, Healthcare, Higher Education, Digital and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Derry?
- Yes — we work throughout Northern Ireland, including Belfast, Lisburn. Derry is an urban area of roughly 85,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Londonderry region rather than the city boundary alone.
