Q: How do I obtain permission to reprint data that appears on the construction web site?

A: The housing starts and building permits data are public information. We ask that if you use our data, you cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of information. Another option would be to add a link from your website to ours. This would ensure that you have the most recent data available.

From CIA's Factbook FAQ:

Q: Can I use some or all of The World Factbook for my Web site (book, research project, homework, etc.)?

A: The World Factbook is in the public domain and may be used freely by anyone at anytime without seeking permission. However, US Code prohibits use of the CIA seal in a manner which implies that the CIA approved, endorsed, or authorized such use. If you have any questions about your intended use, you should consult with legal counsel. Further information on The World Factbook's use is described on the Contributors and Copyright Information page. As a courtesy, please cite The World Factbook when used.
