At **HIT FM Network**, we believe in supporting the global creative community. Our travel, health, and entertainment sections rely on high-quality imagery to bring our reporting to life. We strictly adhere to international copyright standards and the specific licensing terms of our partners.
1. Sourcing and Licensing
We primarily source our editorial imagery from recognized open-license platforms. We strictly adhere to the **Unsplash License**, **Pexels**, and **CC0 (Creative Commons Zero)** terms. By using these platforms, we ensure that the visual content on our network is legally cleared for editorial use.
2. Voluntary Attribution
While the licenses we utilize often do not technically require attribution, HIT FM maintains a policy of **voluntary credit**. We believe photographers deserve recognition for their craft. You will typically find credits embedded in our article layouts or image bylines, ensuring creators are acknowledged.
3. Privacy & Subject Safety
For "Travel Warnings" or sensitive reports, HIT FM avoids the use of identifiable photos of private individuals without express consent. We prioritize "Atmospheric" or "Crowd" shots to protect the privacy of travelers.
Individual Requests: If you recognize yourself in a photograph on our network and have a specific privacy or safety concern, please reach out. As a community-focused broadcaster, we are often willing to make reasonable adjustments (such as blurring or replacement) to respect your personal privacy.
4. Notice and Takedown (DMCA)
We respect the work of creators. If you are a copyright holder and believe your work has been used on our network in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or if you wish to update an attribution, please contact our digital team.
