Webwise Opt Out For Web Site Owners

I own a website which contains private/sensitive information which I don't want to be scanned by Webwise. What can I do to achieve this?

While the privacy safeguards built into BT Webwise mean that sensitive or private content on websites is not compromised, the system also offers a number of mechanisms by which website owners can prevent pages being profiled if they wish. Website owners may implement any of the following methods:

1. HTTPS: No HTTPS traffic passes through the system or is profiled
2. Standard HTTP password-protection : Pages protected using standard HTTP password protection, as defined by RFC 1945, will not be profiled
3. robots.txt: The Webwise system will observe the rules that a website sets for major search engines using the robots.txt method. If the website's robots.txt file is set such that "*" (any robot) is not permitted to crawl it, then Webwise will not profile its pages.

Alternatively, you may request specifically that your website is not scanned by Webwise. To request that your website not be scanned by Webwise, please email: "website-exclusion{at}webwise.com".
