<h2 class="mt-4">Data Accuracy</h2>
<p>Please note that the data coming out of Spothole is only as good as the data going in. People mis-hear and make
typos when spotting callsigns all the time. There are also plenty of cases where Spothole's data, particularly
location data, may be inaccurate. For example, there are POTA parks that span multiple US states, countries that
span multiple CQ zones, portable operators with no requirement to sign /P, etc. If you are doing something where
accuracy is important, such as contesting, you should not rely on Spothole's data to fill in any gaps in your
log.</p>
<p>In the Spothole user interface, under "Your Data", you can enter your credentials for QRZ.com and/or HamQTH if
you have them. This allows Spothole to augment its data with lookups from these services. See the <a
href="/help/privacy">Privacy</a> section for details of how these are handled. If you are looking at the
map and see lots of spots in the geographic centre of countries, allowing these lookups will help. For QRZ.com a
paid account is required to look up operator locations.</p>
