The data is public but we want to know who's downloading it and we want to have a record of the user's explicit consent to use the data under the license conditions (a flavor of CC).
Simple solution:
The app links to a google form configured to require the user to 1) be logged in to google, 2) agree to share that email, and 3) agree to use the data under the license conditions.
Submitting the form shows a message with the link to download the data from zenodo.
This is not bullet proof as some users may fill the form but now download data, or somehow find the data on zenodo without filling the form. But seems close enough for now.
