Data Sources & Attribution
Where listing facts originate and how to interpret freshness and review labels.
Sources of venue facts
Sources can include authorized business representatives, official business websites, Foursquare OS Places, OpenStreetMap where used, other licensed/permitted public providers, and community corrections. Ultimate Happy Hours is used as a third-party discovery/evidence source; it does not automatically become authoritative data. Its availability or robots permission alone is not a license for every reuse. Source-specific rights, contractual terms and permitted-use review remain necessary.
Freshness and verification labels
Imported or discovered entries can be old. An update/check date reflects the source observation used, not a guarantee of accuracy today. Confidence is a comparison signal. Official-source evidence, business verification and community review describe different checks, not endorsements or guarantees. Human approval can publish complete reviewed information while retaining source attribution. Confirm important details directly with the venue.
Foursquare OS Places
Foursquare OS Places data is provided under Apache License 2.0. TapsMaps normalizes and filters imported data and may supplement it with separately sourced facts. Preserve original source notices, the license and prominent change notices with data redistribution/API documentation. The linked NOTICE includes the full upstream notice; source-specific versions and any bundled notices must also travel with exports.
OpenStreetMap and map attribution
OpenStreetMap contributors retain rights under the Open Database License. Where OSM data is used, attribution and applicable database/share-alike obligations must be preserved; counsel must assess any combined or derived database and redistribution. Mapbox supplies its own required logo and map/source attribution controls, which remain visible on active maps. Provider/style-specific extra attribution must also be retained.
Third-party rights and accuracy
Venue names/trademarks remain their owners’ property. Display does not imply sponsorship or partnership. We do not claim proprietary authorship of facts merely because they appear here. Third-party images, editorial copy, reviews, menus and logos require appropriate authorization; discovery adapters retain factual fields rather than copying those materials. Contact us about attribution, source rights or correction requests. Open-source software has its own license terms.
