What it covers
- The tables, maps and CSV downloads of the tools listed below, and the text of their country pages.
- It does not cover the rest of the site (articles, courses, templates, guide books and other products), which stays under our Terms of Service.
- Some of our data starts from public sources, such as EU portals and national statistics offices. Their own terms still apply to the original material.
