ID Exchange launches free 'Data Scraper Opt Out' deterrent.

September 22nd, 2025 — Sydney, Australia 

In response to increasing concerns over unauthorised web scraping, AI model ingestion, and automated data mining (TDM - Text and Data Mining), data privacy and consent technology firm ID Exchange has launched a FREE "Data Scraper Opt Out" deterrent program as an initiative featuring code method examples structured to help developers and website owners to protect their digital content from being scraped without permission. 

Founder Joanne Cooper says, "Silent web-based data harvesting is rampant and can undermine competitive edge, privacy, and legal compliance. This program empowers site owners to consider how best to take back control by presenting developers a range of deterrent methods to enforce." 

As automated scraping technologies rapidly evolve, businesses and content creators face growing risks. Proprietary data including pricing, product information, and customer insights is increasingly vulnerable to exploitation by competitors, misuse by AI models, or extraction that may breach privacy laws and intellectual property rights. 

To combat unauthorised data scraping, ID Exchange aims to encourage developers by providing practical, flexible code examples that support the implementation of scraping deterrents and help them declare appropriate opt-out preferences across their digital assets. 

The free Data Scraper Opt Out program by default offers an educational baseline and reference point so website owners can consider approaches that suit their specific needs.  By making it easier to integrate a range of data protection signals, ID Exchange aims to increase awareness on responsible data governance practices among AI developers, crawler operators, and website owners alike. 

The initiative reinforces the importance of ethical and transparent data usage, reminding the tech community that consent permissions matter at both consumer and business data ownership levels, particularly in an increasingly AI-driven digital environment.
