Non comercial dataset

Me and my friend are software developers, and we are creating a movie recommendation site. It is just a hobby project, but once it is ready we might would like to release it. so it can help others to find the perfect movie for them. We don't want to have any revenue from it and we would like to use the non commercial datasets for it. Can we release such a webpage using some IMDB non commercial data? We would only use information like title actors, and would provide a link for each movie that leads to the given movies IMDB page and recommend them to visit your page. Can we do this?

Thank you for your answer in advance.

@Fran​ He Fran,

Thanks for the fast reply. I have read that but according to that it was not sure for me if the terms I have stated above are within the IMDB non commercial policy.

Based on what you want to do, you can use the data for personal use, it must not be used for any kind of online/offline database of movie information, as mentioned in point #3:

The data can only be used for personal and non-commercial use and must not be altered/republished/resold/repurposed to create any kind of online/offline database of movie information (except for individual personal use).
