Licence for using static data taken from spreadsheet?

[Gary]

Hi. I'd like to publish a chart that I will create myself using data
taken from one of the available spreadsheets. The chart will be static
and I just want to use the current data from the spreadsheet. I'm not
interested in using an API to take live data at the moment.

My question is does this use fall within the T&Cs of use?

Do I still need to register for an API key even though I don't have a
technical requirement to use the API and the spreadsheet is publicly
available anyway without requiring a key?

I read something about having to either delete or refresh my data
every 24 hours. Does that still apply if I haven't used the API to
acquire the data? It would be a bit unfortunate if I had to delete my
chart image file every 24 hours and create a new one based on the
latest version of the spreadsheet - which in reality is only updated
every year because the data shows annual figures published by the
British Government.

If my intended use is okay would I just need to add the Guardian logo
to the chart and that's it? Nothing else? No other caveats? Perhaps my
questions could be added to the existing FAQ?

Thanks.

Hi - which data set is it? If it's from the datastore, then it's pretty
much all publicly available and open source - just credit us and the source
for the data.

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, it's the "UK crime by borough"
spreadsheet from the Datastore. (Would be great if the "by ward" data
is available too!)

Thanks for clarifying.
Gary.
