Legally binding conditions governing access to Glomilrank research tools
These Terms of Service ("Terms", "Agreement") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "Analyst", "Subscriber", or "Organization") and Global Military Rankings ("Glomilrank", "GMR", "we", "us", or "our"). This Agreement governs your access to and use of our public website, analytical databases, interactive combat conflict simulators, platform dossiers, and programmatic API endpoints located at https://glomilrank.com.

Intelligence Disclaimer & Non-Governmental Status
Explicit delineation of open-source unclassified research from official state operations
Glomilrank is an independent open-source research initiative and is NOT an official government or military organization. GMR is NOT an official government agency, department of defense, military command, or intelligence service of the United States, NATO, the European Union, the United Nations, or any sovereign state.
100% Strictly Unclassified Public Information (OSINT)
Every data point, platform specification, fleet count, missile inventory, and industrial manufacturing capacity tracked within the Glomilrank index is gathered strictly from unclassified, publicly available sources. These include official defense ministry white papers (e.g., US DoD, UK MoD, French DGA), international arms registries (UNROCA, New START disclosures), established defense publications (SIPRI, FlightGlobal, IISS Military Balance), and commercial geospatial intelligence telemetry.
Glomilrank does not possess, solicit, handle, process, or disseminate classified, secret, confidential, or controlled defense information (CDI/CUI). Under no circumstances should users submit classified operational materials, controlled technical data, or non-public sovereign defense documentation to Glomilrank.
