Image Usage Policy

Effective Date: April 8, 2025

At GoNutriGo.com, we’re committed to creating high-quality, trustworthy content focused on nutrition, diet, and healthy living. Visuals play a big part in how we tell stories and share information. From inspiring recipe photos to educational infographics, images help bring our content to life.

That’s why we take image usage seriously. This policy explains how we select and use images, what rights we have, and what our users should know when viewing or sharing content from our site.

1. We Use Only Licensed, Legal, and High-Quality Images

We never use random images from the internet or any source we don’t have permission from. Instead, we follow strict sourcing practices:

Licensed Stock Photos

We purchase professional images from licensed stock photo websites like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, iStock, and others. These platforms grant us commercial-use rights for the images we buy. This means:

  • We have the legal right to use them on our website

  • We follow the usage rules provided by those stock image providers

In-House or Custom Visuals

Some images, graphics, and infographics are created by our own design team. These visuals are exclusive to GoNutriGo.com and are fully copyrighted.

Creative Commons or Free Licensed Images

Occasionally, we may use free images available under open licenses such as:

  • Creative Commons (CC BY or similar)

  • Public domain images

In such cases, we always give proper credit near the image and follow the license terms to the letter.

2. How You Can Use Our Images

We encourage our readers to share our articles and help spread useful information. But there are limits on how you can use our images:

You Can:

  • View and enjoy the images on our website

  • Share our articles (with images) by linking directly to the page

  • Post our content to social media with clear attribution or using our share buttons

You Can’t:

  • Download our images and use them on your own site, blog, or publication

  • Modify, crop, or redistribute our images without permission

  • Use our visuals for commercial purposes (e.g., marketing, advertising, product packaging)

If you want to use one of our images, please email us at [email protected] —we’re happy to help when appropriate.

3. Contributor or Third-Party Content

Sometimes, images may be provided by:

  • Guest authors

  • Health experts

  • Brand partners

When that happens, the original image rights stay with those contributors. We use these visuals with full permission or based on agreed licenses. Reusing these images outside of our platform requires separate permission from the original owners.

4. What About AI-Generated Images?

At this time, we do not use AI-generated images or videos on GoNutriGo.com. We believe in using authentic, reliable visuals created by real photographers, designers, or medical illustrators.

If our policy ever changes, we will clearly update this page and identify AI-generated visuals where they appear.

5. Unauthorized Use = Copyright Violation

Every image used on GoNutriGo is protected by copyright law—either ours or the creator’s. Unauthorized copying, downloading, or distribution of our images can result in:

  • A copyright infringement notice

  • Legal action or takedown requests

  • Possible penalties under U.S. and international law

Please respect image rights the same way you’d want your own work protected.

6. Policy Updates

We may update this Image Usage Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our image sourcing, licensing practices, or legal requirements.

We encourage you to check back occasionally to stay informed.
