Company information

Last updated 23 July 2026

This website, machinewitness.eu, and the MachineWitness archive are operated by:

What this site is

MachineWitness is an independent, evidentiary archive of the machine-readable web in the European Union. Each day it records what public domains serve to machines — crawler rules, opt-out and text-and-data-mining declarations, machine interfaces, and crawler identities — and seals that record cryptographically so it can be verified later. It is a record, not advice, and it takes no side in any dispute. See our Terms of Use.

Governing law

The operator is established in Spain. This site and the services described are subject to Spanish law, in particular Law 34/2002 on Information Society Services and Electronic Commerce (LSSI-CE). This notice is provided in English, the sole language of the site.

Responsibility for content

We take care that the information on this site is accurate. Statements about the archive describe what the system actually does; where a capability is not yet in operation, this is stated. The published record and the method to verify it are the authoritative source.

External links

Where we link to third-party websites, we have no control over their content and accept no responsibility for it. Responsibility lies with the respective operators.

Intellectual property

The wording, design, and code of this site are the property of Martin Schenk S.L., except where third-party material is identified. The published daily fingerprints (root log) and the documented verification method may be freely used to verify records; see the Terms of Use for details.

Reporting a crawler or requesting removal

If you operate a domain and have questions about our crawler, want to be excluded from crawling, or wish to have a record removed, see the Crawler & contact page or write to contact@machinewitness.eu.
