About
Rights and takedown
How we handle images, quotations and objects, and how to ask us to remove something.
Our approach
- “Found online”, “old” and “in an archive” do not mean public domain. We check.
- For every image we record copyright, physical ownership, creator, licence, credit line, restrictions, consent and any expiry date.
- We do not reproduce current Girlguiding or WAGGGS logos, badge artwork or catalogue photographs without permission. Describing something is not a licence to copy it.
- Songs and games can still be in copyright even when called “traditional”. We publish their history and short extracts only unless cleared.
- For living people, especially children, we ask for consent even when copyright is cleared.
- We prefer our own photographs of objects (with the owner’s written agreement), openly licensed museum images and public-domain material.
Site images
The illustration on the home page and the site icon were commissioned for this site.
Photographs of objects from the Girlguiding Norfolk County Archive Resource Centre are used under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 licence, as published on MyLearning. This site is non-commercial. Where we have resized or cropped an image, our version is shared under the same licence. We cropped one photograph so that it no longer shows an identifiable person.
Takedown requests
If you believe we have published something that infringes your rights or your privacy, email [email protected] with the page address, the item concerned and the basis of your request. We will remove disputed material while we look into it.
Reusing our text
Rights in the site’s own text are still to be decided. Until then, please ask before reusing more than a short quotation.
