Hi Edward, that's not about the privacy of our data. We're not afraid of that. I guess the API provides some methods to secure that data - encode/ decode - to secure the raw data.
My question #1: According to the TOS - Can we use the Chart API on private pages, where users needs to be logged in - so the charts aren't available for everyone. As far as I know, Google Maps API (according to its TOS) may be used only on pages, which are on public (where login is not necessary). My question #2: Is there in API any official way to insert into JavaScript charts our own picture (logo), or we have to do that the CSS-positioning-and-z-index way? btw. We'd like to use the Interactive charts. -- Radek.
