## What this covers

- The [funding tracker](https://bharat.digital/startups/funding/) and its [CSV](https://bharat.digital/startups/funding.csv): the list of rounds, the reports matched to each round and the amounts as each report gave them.
- The way the [numbers](https://bharat.digital/numbers/) page and its [JSON file](https://bharat.digital/data/numbers.json) collect and arrange official figures.
- Our [charts](https://bharat.digital/charts/), which can be embedded with a credit line.

## What it does not cover

- Official figures stay under the terms of the bodies that publish them: NPCI for UPI numbers, UIDAI for Aadhaar totals, CERT-In for its advisories and CISA for the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Each figure links to its source.
- Headlines and summaries of other outlets' stories are quoted from their feeds and belong to those publishers.
- Originals and explainers are not covered unless a page says so.
