+# Decisions
+
+All questions and concerns that have come up will be documented here along with their answers.
+
+### What, if anything, should we do to safeguard the public-facing data on this site?
+
+The data on this site was public to begin with.  Scraped from other public sites, or given to us to use publicly with consent.
+Therefore, no actions to safeguard the company data on this site need to be taken.
+This includes not needing to safelist/blocklist IP addresses with technology such as cloudflare.
+
+We should, of course, be up front about data privacy and take all necessary precautions with any private information we may have.
+
+### Why are we scraping data from public sites?
+
+We are scraping data from public sites in order to jump-start this project with an initial set of data large enough to be useful to the visitors of the site.
+
+Without this data, the goal of becoming a viable resource for those in need will be considerably more difficult to achieve.
+
+### Do we need a server at all?
+
+We have yet to identify any true need for a server at the time of launch.  All scrapers can be launched manually and from the developers local machine.
+
+### Should we get consent from the businesses we list prior to listing them?
+
+We've determined that consent is not required in the case where we are scraping publicly-available information from publicly-available websites.
+
+We will, however, offer an option for a business to remove themselves from the site.
+
+### How often will the scrapers run?
+
+Initially just once at the beginning to seed the site with data.  We are unsure how frequently they will run after 
+the initial launch, but right now we're thinking they will run monthly.
