Data Usage Policy

Data Structure and Priorities

AI-DC KOREA standardizes public data from the government and local authorities, original documents on architecture, land, and policy, official announcements and disclosures from operators, data from associations and manufacturers, and information provided by major media outlets and users, organizing it by project site, company, date, and numerical values.

Overseas and private-sector sources such as Baxtel, Data Center Map, DC Byte, and Cloudscene can be used to identify potential sites and compare markets; however, they should not be used as the sole basis for confirming the operational status, address, power supply, or permits of domestic data centers. Whenever possible, cross-check with official domestic sources and note any discrepancies between sources.

Distinction Between Facts, Judgments, and Estimates

• Verified Facts: Values verified based on publicly available source materials or data from operators and institutions, including the project site and reference date
• Cross-check: Values for key items that match across multiple independent sources
• Candidate/Unconfirmed: Values identified through news reports, overseas databases, or tips, but for which verification of the original domestic source is still pending
• AI-DC Determination: Independent analysis based on verified facts
• Estimated value: Calculation results based on assumptions regarding area, ratio, PUE, unit price, and construction process

Power intake capacity, UPS, IT load, long-term campus plans, and current operational capacity are stored as separate items; do not sum them without justification or convert them to current values.

Permitted Use

The public page may be viewed, cited, and linked to generally, provided that the source and date of verification are maintained. Paid data and reports may be used by contracted companies and users for internal site evaluation, decision-making, meetings, and project execution.

If you wish to submit reports or analyses to third parties such as investors, financial institutions, or design firms, you must verify whether external submission is permitted under the terms of the product or contract, and you must also provide AI-DC KOREA’s reference date, assumptions, sources, and disclaimers.

Restrictions on Redistribution and Automated Collection

The following uses are not permitted without separate written permission.

• Reproducing, reselling, or publicly distributing the entire contents or a substantial portion of the Center, Licensing, and Company Databases, CSV files, API responses, or reports
• Sharing account and download URLs, bypassing access controls, and repetitive or bulk data collection via crawlers or bots
• Extraction for building competitive databases, search services, training data, or generative AI knowledge bases
• Do not remove the source, date of verification, verification status, “estimate” notation, document number, or watermark, or present them as if they were definitive guarantees from the company.

The terms of use for the public source data itself follow the policies of the respective organizations, while the terms of use for the structures and analyses independently normalized, linked, and verified by AI-DC KOREA are governed by both this policy and the applicable agreement.

Report Identification and Security

Paid reports may include company names, receipt numbers, issue numbers, versions, issue dates, approvers, user or project identifiers, checksums, and watermarks. Drafts, review copies, and final versions are stored in a confidential repository, categorized by role and version. This is intended to prevent unauthorized distribution and to verify document authenticity and version; however, it does not guarantee that copying, screen capture, or leakage can be completely prevented from a technical standpoint.

Users must manage reports and downloaded files in accordance with their internal security clearance levels and immediately notify the company if they detect any leakage or misuse.

Estimates and Decision-Making Responsibility

Automatically calculated values—such as land area, building coverage ratio, floor area ratio, data center space ratio, rack density, PUE, power supply capacity, service line distance, construction costs, land value, PF, and schedule—are preliminary estimates based on the stated assumptions. Actual values may vary depending on local ordinances, zoning plans, excluded areas, grid capacity reserves, design specifications, and contract terms.

The data does not guarantee the possibility of obtaining permits, power supply, return on investment, the success of transactions, or the performance of specific facilities. Before investing, purchasing, applying for permits, or constructing, you must obtain the latest confirmation from the relevant authorities, Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), and qualified professionals in fields such as law, taxation, appraisal, architecture, and electrical engineering.

Corrections, Updates, and Dispute Resolution

The company updates the reference date and change history by verifying changes to the original text, new disclosures, changes in project status, and tips received. If there are discrepancies in the figures, rather than arbitrarily selecting one value, the site may indicate the definitions, dates, and points of agreement or difference for each source.

Operators, owners, and relevant parties may request corrections or a review for non-disclosure, along with supporting documentation. The company may verify the authenticity and suitability for disclosure of the information before deciding whether to modify, withhold, or retain the existing record, and may maintain a record of the review.

User-provided data and external links

Project sites, listings, capacity, company information, and documents are stored as confidential originals upon receipt, and the decision to make them public is determined after verifying the provider’s authorization, consent, and the status of verification. Users must confirm that they have the necessary authorization to provide the submitted materials and that they do not infringe on the personal information or trade secrets of others.

External links to source materials, maps, and APIs are subject to each provider’s terms of service and availability. A failed link does not imply the absence of the information in question; items for which source data cannot be verified should be marked as “Needs Verification.”
