Acceptable Use Policy
Last Updated: February 6, 2026
This Acceptable Use Policy governs your use of TraceOverlay and all related services.
1. What TraceOverlay Is For
TraceOverlay is a tracing tool for artists. Use it however you like for your creative work — learning, practice, professional projects, commissions, fun, or anything else. Your images stay on your device and we have no visibility into what you create.
2. Don't Abuse the Service
We only ask that you don't:
- Attempt to hack, reverse engineer, or gain unauthorized access to TraceOverlay's systems or infrastructure
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to access the service in ways that degrade it for others
- Interfere with the service's availability or performance
- Create fraudulent accounts or misrepresent your identity to us
- Use the service for any activity that violates applicable law
3. A Note on Copyright
TraceOverlay is a tool — like a pencil or a lightbox. You are responsible for how you use it. We encourage you to:
- Use your own photos, royalty-free images, or references you have permission to use
- Understand that traced artwork may be considered a derivative work under copyright law
- Give credit where appropriate when sharing your work
We don't monitor, review, or have access to your reference images or artwork.
4. Enforcement
Since your images never leave your device, we have no ability or interest in policing your creative work. However, we may suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service itself (e.g., attempting to compromise our infrastructure or committing payment fraud).
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last Updated" date.
