Content Policy

Prompt Patent is a directory of prompts worth reusing. This policy describes what belongs here, what does not, and what happens when something is reported. It forms part of the Terms of Service and applies to every prompt, title, description, username and profile on the Service.

What belongs here

• Prompts you wrote, or that you have the right to publish.
• A title and description that honestly say what the prompt does.
• A category that matches the prompt, so search and browsing stay useful.

What is not allowed

Spam and manipulation

Advertising or promotional content disguised as a prompt, link farms, keyword stuffing, near-duplicate reposts, bulk low-effort submissions, and any attempt to inflate save or copy counts or manipulate ranking.

Harmful or unsafe content

Prompts whose purpose is to produce or enable:

• sexual content involving minors, or any sexualisation of minors — this is reported to the authorities;
• instructions for weapons, explosives, or biological, chemical, radiological or nuclear harm;
• malware, intrusion, credential theft, fraud, or other criminal activity;
• harassment, threats, doxxing, or hate directed at people because of a protected characteristic;
• encouragement of self-harm, suicide or disordered eating;
• non-consensual sexual content, or sexual content involving real people who have not consented;
• disinformation designed to deceive about elections, public health or emergencies, or impersonation of a real person or organisation.

Prompts that discuss these subjects for research, education, safety or defensive purposes are judged on their intent and framing, not on keywords alone.

Someone else’s work

Do not publish a prompt you copied from another person, site or paid product and present it as yours. Do not publish content that infringes copyright, trademark, trade secrets or privacy rights.

Personal and confidential information

Do not include other people’s personal data, credentials, API keys, or material covered by a confidentiality obligation. Published prompts are public and indexed by search engines — keep your own secrets out of them too.

Prompts that don’t work as described

A prompt whose description does not match its body, or that is deliberately misleading about what it produces, may be removed. An imperfect prompt is not a violation; a dishonest one is.

Originality and duplicates

Each distinct prompt body can exist on the Service only once, credited to whoever published it first, and deleting a prompt does not release that claim. Publishing trivial variations of an existing prompt to work around this is treated as spam. See Terms of Service, section 4.

Reporting a prompt

Signed-in users can report any prompt from its page using the Report link, choosing a reason and adding details. One report per person per prompt is recorded. We review reports on the content itself — a prompt is not removed because it was reported often, nor kept because it was reported once.

For anything urgent, or if you cannot use the in-app report, write to hello@tidemark.one.

What we do about violations

Depending on severity and history, we may:

• remove or hide a prompt;
• reset counts obtained through manipulation;
• reassign attribution where a claim of authorship is substantiated;
• warn, suspend or terminate the account;
• refer the matter to law enforcement where the law requires it.

If you believe we got it wrong, reply to the notice we sent or email hello@tidemark.one and we will review the decision.

Copyright complaints

If you own rights in material published on the Service without permission, send a notice to hello@tidemark.one including:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the work you say has been infringed;
3. the URL of the prompt on the Service that you are complaining about;
4. your name, address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or the law;
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

We remove or disable material covered by a valid notice and tell the user who published it. That user may send a counter-notice with their signature, the material identified and its location before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that it was removed by mistake or misidentification, and their contact details and consent to jurisdiction. We may restore the material after a counter-notice unless the complainant starts legal proceedings. Accounts that repeatedly infringe are terminated.

Changes

We may update this policy as new problems appear. The “last updated” date above always reflects the current version.
