I do consider the website of a business public. Why else would the
business have the website?
So if said website provides information that makes sense in OSM, I add
it.
Yes the brain is to be switched on, always, e.g. opening hours - I
follow what the shop states if they differ from the site.
I do agree that aggregator sites or many of these listings that are just
SPAM in my view shoudl not be considered an acceptable source - as they
are not the primary source of the information but rather have crawled
the web for it.

There was just a longish discussion on legal-talk on the topic:
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/legal-talk/2019-July/thread.html
(note that AUS is one of the three countries with a strong sweat of the
brow doctrine).
From a legal POV completing information with data from the
establishments own website should in general be OK, from a QA
perspective brain needs to be turned on as, just as with any other data
source, there is no guarantee that website contains current and
correct
information.
Compilations of the same data (for example google and so one) should
not
be used for sourcing information for OSM.

Is it acceptable to copy a street address (and other contact details)
from a business's webpage?
For example in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/72452124 (what
changed is easier to see at
https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/705884944 ) I added
the street address as listed on their website.
If this isn't acceptable, what is an acceptable way of getting an
address if it is not obvious during a site survey?
Regards,
Kim
