Sources & attribution

Where Radar's data comes from

Every provider has its own rules about attribution, caching and reuse. Radar records which source supplied each record, keeps provider identifiers with the data they belong to, starts new sources in preview mode, and shows when something has not been confirmed. Free access for members does not make provider use non-commercial: each agreement below is stated as it applies to this app.

Privacy

Terra Glitch Radar stores the account details you sign in with, the works you save, and the posts you write. Private lists, private notes and connection tokens are only readable by you and the app's owners. You can export or clear your data at any time from Profile & settings.

Community rules

Be specific, be generous, and warn for spoilers. No harassment, no hate speech, no spam or self-promotion without context. Report rather than escalate. Corrections to catalogue data need a source. Automated discovery never invents facts — if something looks wrong, suggest a correction and it goes to a human queue.

Corrections, credit and removal

Use “Suggest a correction” on any work. Every suggestion is queued for an owner with the evidence you supply, and accepted fixes are recorded in the audit trail. Providers each have their own attribution and removal rules; requests are routed to the owner.

Artwork and metadata belong to their creators and providers. Terra Glitch Radar links to originals and does not redistribute complete articles. Terra Glitch's own work stays at terraglitch.com.
