What we may use your content for

• Promotional Use of Your Content. We may showcase your content on our social media channels, marketing materials, and other platforms where content promotion is relevant.
We will not modify, alter, or change your content in a way that misrepresents its original intent. Any promotional use of your content will always include proper attribution to you as the content creator. You can opt out of being in any promotion by us by sending us an email at [email protected].

What we will not use your content for

• Wrongfully claiming ownership of your content. We will not claim ownership of your content and won’t do things that may cause confusion between the ownership of your content and our own service.

• Manipulation of content. We will not modify or adapt your content in any way that changes the meaning or context of the original media. This includes the manipulation of content by the insertion of ads.

• Circumvent payment to you. We will not circumvent payment or help anyone circumvent payment for access to your paid content.

• Restrict access to your content to generate revenue for our service. Our service will not restrict access to any of your content for the purpose of generating revenue for our service. This includes a paywall, unlocking content with ads, or using in-app purchases. The exception to this term is when the owner of the content has defined how to unlock content in the SSS feed itself.

• Copying of hosted content. We will not copy or re-upload your content or pieces of that content.

• Train AI using your content. We will not use your content or pieces of your content to train an algorithm that results in derivative work.

Your content will be distributed over SSS Feeds

1. Users don't consume content on Taddy. Taddy distributes your content to multiple apps using an open-source comic format (SSS). These apps have built tailored experiences where fans can discover and consume your content. All those applications must abide by your feed’s copyright notice and our Developer Policies.

2. You reserve the right to re-direct your SSS feed to a competitor of Taddy or your own website. Email [email protected] if you would like to do so. (This allows you to leave Taddy but keep the audience you have built up on all apps where Taddy is distributing your content and fans are discovering and consuming your content)
