Why was my account banned for automated or scripted use?
The web portal is intended for manual, interactive use. Accounts that exceed the automated query rate limit (30 queries per minute) are automatically flagged and access is temporarily suspended. If you need repeatable or higher-volume automated access, use the API instead — contact Sales about an appropriate plan. To request reinstatement, contact support.

How do I delete my account?
Contact Spur support at support@spur.us to request account deletion. Deletion is permanent.
I can't find my organization or my invitation isn't working — what should I do?
If you signed up directly instead of via an invite, you may have created a separate personal organization rather than joining your employer's. Ask your organization's admin to invite you to the correct organization using the email address you'll sign in with, and make sure you're signed out of any other Spur sessions before opening the invitation link. If the invitation link has expired, ask your admin to reissue it. Contact support if the issue persists after a fresh invitation.
Does Spur offer a Data Processing Agreement (DPA)?
Yes. Spur's DPA covering standard data processing controls is listed on trust.spur.us — request access there, or contact your account team or support@spur.us.
Does Spur offer free access for law enforcement?
No. Spur does not offer free or discounted accounts for law enforcement or government investigative agencies. Standard commercial licensing applies — contact Sales to discuss account options.
Is there a plan between Team and Pro?
No — there is currently no intermediate tier between the Team and Pro plans. If Team's limits are too low but Pro is more than you need, add-on packs are available alongside your existing plan to extend usage without moving up a full tier. Contact Sales to discuss add-on options for your usage level.

How Spur IP Classifications Work: Observed Behavior, Not IP Ownership
Spur classifications describe what was observed happening on an IP during a given window, not who owns the IP or ASN — a key distinction when investigating a classification that looks wrong.
Why the Organization Field Isn't Available the Same Way Across Spur's Data Feeds
The Context API's per-IP organization field isn't guaranteed in every data feed. Each feed has a different schema and covers a different slice of IP space, so field availability varies by feed.
Why Residential Proxy Classifications Can Appear on Legitimate Infrastructure
Residential proxy networks recruit real consumer devices to relay traffic, so a legitimate ISP's own IP ranges can show a residential-proxy classification without the ISP's knowledge or involvement.
