COMPLIANCE

Clear identity, clear rules.

NBT is built around a simple idea: say who we are, respect the site’s rules and do not pretend a block means “try another way”.

Cloudflare

NBT uses Ed25519 Web Bot Auth for direct crawler identity. We intend to register in Cloudflare BotBase as an Intermediary service with Monitoring & Operations and SEO behaviour.

Current status

Shopify

NBT signs direct Shopify storefront crawling and can use a merchant-provided domain-bound crawler approval for the exact store it covers. Shopify or Cloudflare protection still slows or stops work; signing is not a bypass.

Site-owner rules

robots.txt, Crawl-delay, Content Signals, customer scope and site/provider pressure can all restrict or stop a test.

Customer identity in headers

Cloudflare is testing extra identity fields for intermediary bots. NBT does not put customer-identifying details into public request headers today. We would only add that after a privacy and security review.
