Acceptable Use Policy
Maptake is for telling stories with maps. This policy sets out what you may not make, upload or share with it, including by asking the agent. It is part of our Terms.
Last updated 11 November 2026
1. What Maptake makes
Maptake is video editing software for animated map videos. The agent sets up places, camera moves, borders, routes and labels on an editable timeline. It does not generate photos or video footage from a prompt: every frame is rendered from map data, built-in graphics and the files you upload. You are responsible for what you ask for, what you upload and what you publish.
2. Content that is not allowed
You may not use Maptake to make, upload or share content that:
- is sexual: sexually explicit, sexually suggestive or otherwise NSFW content, including nudity. Content that sexualises minors is never allowed and we report it to the authorities.
- misuses a real person: uses someone’s face, voice, name or likeness without their consent, impersonates a person or organisation, or makes it look like someone said or did something they did not (deepfakes, face swaps, altered photos or recordings).
- deceives: presents false information as fact in order to mislead, such as a fake evacuation or disaster map, false information about an election, or a scam.
- harms people: harasses, threatens, bullies or defames anyone; promotes violence, terrorism or self-harm; or attacks people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age.
- breaks the law or someone’s rights: is unlawful, promotes illegal goods or services, or infringes copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights, including photos, footage, music or recordings you are not allowed to use.
- is spam: bulk, repetitive or misleading content made to manipulate platforms or audiences.
3. Uses of the service that are not allowed
- Getting around these rules, for example by wording a request so that the agent produces content this policy does not allow.
- Using automated means to create accounts, run the agent in bulk, or extract map tiles or other data from the service.
- Reselling or sublicensing access to the service, or circumventing plan limits.
- Trying to access parts of the system or other users’ projects you were not given access to, or disrupting the service.
4. Your uploads
You must have the rights to everything you upload, including permission from people who can be recognised in your photos or recordings. Map credits that come with exported videos must stay in place (see section 6 of the Terms).
5. Reporting misuse
If you think someone is using Maptake against this policy, or that content made with Maptake infringes your rights, email hello@maptake.com with what you found and where. We look into every report.
6. What we do about it
We may remove content stored in Maptake, limit use of the agent, or suspend or close an account that breaks this policy. Where a breach is not deliberate, we contact you first. Content that sexualises minors, and accounts that make it, are removed at once and reported. Videos you export and publish elsewhere are your responsibility.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The current version is always on this page with its date. Questions: hello@maptake.com.
