"or making sure you don't leak out sensitive data"

If sensitive data can be scraped, it is not really stored sensitive. So I would not care too much about it and just notify the owner if I notice it.



Keep in mind that if you end up with data that are protected under GDPR, merely having them puts you in a damning position. The intended owner will be fried for not protecting it adequately, but you violate GDPR since "I never agreed to you collecting, processing, etc" the data. And imagine the world of pain if you are caught with children's data.


The site might be if located in Europe but if it's public you are not bound by those terms as long as you don't share with Europeans.


In the US I’d be more concerned about the CCPA.
