Introduction
This Intellectual Property (IP) Policy explains how Idometrics handles ownership, usage rights, and infringement claims related to content uploaded or accessed on the platform. This policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service and applies to all users.
Ownership of Content
Idometrics respects the intellectual property rights of all creators. As a user, you retain full ownership of any original content you create and upload to the platform, including videos, music, audio recordings, captions, and other creative works ("User Content").
However, by uploading content to Idometrics, you grant us certain rights as outlined in the section ‘License Grant to Idometrics’.

By uploading or sharing content on Idometrics, you grant Idometrics a non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide, and perpetual license to use, distribute, display, make available to other users, publicly perform (e.g., display or play within Idometrics for other users to view), reproduce, create derivative works of, and otherwise exploit your content within the platform for purposes including but not limited to:
- Displaying it to other users
- Enabling features like remixing, covers, or collaboration
- Promoting Idometrics (on-platform and off-platform)
You also grant Idometrics the right to use your username, profile image, and associated metadata to identify you as the source of the content.
User-Uploaded Music
If you upload original music or audio recordings to Idometrics:
- You must own or have the necessary rights and licenses to use and distribute the material.
- By uploading, you grant Idometrics the right to include the audio in the in-app Audio Library for non-commercial use by the Idometrics community.
- You acknowledge that your music may be used in videos by other users under this license.

Use of Licensed Audio
Idometrics provides access to licensed music obtained from third-party licensors under commercial use agreements. This music:

Any unauthorized use of licensed music may result in account suspension or legal action in accordance with our agreements with third-party rights holders.
Blockchain Content & Permanence
Some content (e.g., dance challenges or original choreography) is registered and authenticated on a public blockchain.
- Blockchain entries are immutable and cannot be modified or deleted.
- By submitting content for blockchain registration, you agree that it will be permanently recorded and viewable on-chain.
Users should carefully review content before initiating blockchain registration, as this process cannot be reversed.
