Terms of Use
Last updated: 29 March 20261. What this site is
Star Wars Data Explorer (swdata.ai) is a non-commercial, fan-made project built and operated by a single individual (Patrick Magee). There is no company, organisation, or legal entity behind it. The site provides interactive tools for exploring Star Wars universe data sourced from Wookieepedia, a community wiki licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.
2. No warranties
The site is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind. Data accuracy depends on the underlying Wookieepedia content. AI-powered features (Ask AI, character timelines, relationship graph) may produce inaccurate, incomplete, or fabricated results. Do not rely on this site for factual accuracy.
3. Acceptable use
You may use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:
Attempt to access other users' data or accounts.
Use automated tools to scrape or overload the site.
Attempt to bypass rate limits or authentication mechanisms.
Use the AI features for purposes unrelated to Star Wars content.
4. Accounts and authentication
Authentication is provided through Keycloak at auth.magaoidh.pro. You may sign in using social login providers (Microsoft, Facebook) or a local account. Creating an account is optional — the site is usable without signing in, with reduced functionality (no chat history, lower rate limits).
5. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)
Signed-in users may provide their own OpenAI API key for the Ask AI feature. By doing so, you acknowledge that your queries are sent directly to OpenAI using your key and are subject to OpenAI's terms of use. Your key is encrypted at rest using ASP.NET Core Data Protection and is only decrypted at the moment of an API call. The site operator cannot view your key in plaintext.
6. AI-generated content
The Ask AI feature, character timelines, and relationship graph are produced with the assistance of OpenAI models. This content may contain errors, hallucinations, or inconsistencies with established Star Wars canon or legends. AI-generated content should not be cited as authoritative.
7. Intellectual property
Star Wars and all associated names, characters, and content are the property of Lucasfilm Ltd. / Disney. Wookieepedia content is used under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and is attributed throughout the site. This project does not claim ownership of any Star Wars intellectual property. See the About page for a full licensing discussion.
8. Availability
The site is a personal project and may be taken offline, modified, or discontinued at any time without notice. AI features depend on OpenAI API availability and quota; they may be temporarily unavailable.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator is not liable for any damages arising from your use of the site, including but not limited to: loss of data, inaccurate AI outputs, or charges incurred through your own OpenAI API key (BYOK).
10. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
11. Contact
For questions or concerns, contact the site operator via magaoidh.pro or through the GitHub repository.
