Structured Collection and Standardization of Publicly Accessible Review Data (Tripadvisor & Google) Project Description: I am running an academic research project that requires the structured extraction, cleaning, and normalization of publicly viewable review information from Tripadvisor and Google for four major tourist attractions: Loro Parque (Tenerife) Lisbon Oceanarium Bioparc Valencia Oceanogràfic Valencia This project will strictly adhere to: GDPR requirements Privacy regulations Terms of Service of all involved platforms PeoplePerHour policies No restricted data, login access, circumvention of protections, or automated actions violating platform rules will be requested or accepted. The collected information will be used for academic analysis, and all results will be fully anonymized before interpretation. No personally identifying information will be shared with any third party, client, or external organization. The purpose is to analyze longitudinal trends in review content over the past two years (2024–2025) and classify general reviewer behavioural patterns in an anonymized manner. This project requires a freelancer experienced in: Data collection from public web interfaces Public OSINT research techniques Data validation and structured formatting Building clean, normalized datasets Ensuring compliance with Terms of Service of online platforms
