    I strongly recommend contacting a lawyer. Copyright law is complicated and is different in different countries.

    Can you clarify what you mean by "clicked data"? Perhaps there's a more conventional phrasing for what you mean. Commented Apr 25 at 13:57

    Even if the data isn't copyrighted, I wonder if EU database rights might apply.

    @DanielR.Collins WebPlotDigitizer is a piece of software for reconstructing a table/spreadsheet of data from a graphical representation of those data - a key part of the workflow for using it is clicking on points on the graph, hence "clicked data". Commented Apr 25 at 14:54
  • Thanks for the comment! Thanks Daniel Hatton for the details about the tools. Yes Peter Flom, I will contact a lawyer in my company, but I was curious if anyone already did this. And thanks Anyon for this link! That seems quite appropriate. I will dig and come back to close this if I get an answer (which might be country dependent but could help other people).
