This does not impact access to M-Lab’s data published in BigQuery. + +## What You Need to Do + +With this change, we are introducing a new Acceptable Use Agreement (AUA) for M-Lab’s Archival data. This step helps us ensure responsible use of our data resources and better understand data usage needs and patterns. + +To continue to access M-Lab’s archival data, you will need to accept the Agreement through the [AUA form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfDGsEqfE3Lh3qtRSMy621O_bzBMZtnrw5sDgR42tGWpymJ2w/viewform). The complete Acceptable Use Policy can be found on our [Archival Data page]({{ site.baseurl }}/data/docs/archival-data). + +## Connect With Us + +If you have used or are interested in using the archival data and are impacted by this change, feel free to connect with us at [support@measurementlab.net](mailto:support@measurementlab.net). We want to know more about your use case and understand how we can best support your research.
