Source Platforms refer to the social media or digital platforms from which Amondo collects content and media.
These include platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter (X), YouTube, TikTok, and Spotify.
Amondo gathers publicly available content from these platforms in compliance with their terms of service, allowing it to display or embed content for use in digital products while adhering to platform-specific rules for storage, caching, and redistribution.
Amondo has the necessary permission to access and publicly display content sourced from various platforms.
When users agree to a Source Platform’s 'Terms of Service' or 'Terms of Use', they grant the platform and its partners, such as Amondo, the licence to share and display public user-generated content. This content is legally obtained through the platforms’ application programming interfaces (APIs), with Amondo adhering to each platform's 'Platform Policy' or 'Developer Policy'.
Amondo can only access and display content under the following conditions:
Public Availability Amondo can only access content that is publicly available. We are unable to retrieve content posted privately or from private accounts.
Discoverable Content Content must be discoverable on the platform, such as Instagram posts that use hashtags to ensure visibility. (Note: Instagram Stories have different access rules. For more details, see ''.)
Attribution to Content Creators Amondo credits the original content creator by displaying the platform’s icon, the creator’s name, and their avatar (where available). We also provide a direct link to the original content.
This ensures compliance with platform policies while giving proper recognition to content creators.
Embedding content from Source Platforms, such as Instagram, Twitter (X), or Facebook, allows users to add public images, videos, or posts to their website or digital service.
Most platforms offer an "Embed" option for public posts, providing an embed code that can be copied and placed into the desired website or application. This method ensures seamless integration while respecting the content's original format and permissions granted by the platform.
Here's an example on Instagram:
