Data Sources & Platform Compliance Notice

Last updated: May 2026

1. What FragranceIndex.ai does

FragranceIndex.ai and FTI Market Terminal are operated by Fragrance Index LLC. We transform publicly available or source-permitted fragrance-related content signals into aggregated market intelligence, surfacing which perfumes, brands, notes, accords, and topics are trending — and why — across public fragrance communities.

Our product is aggregated market intelligence. It is not a raw content feed, platform mirror, creator directory, or personal data product.

2. Source types

FragranceIndex.ai currently processes signals from:

  • YouTube: public video metadata, titles, and engagement signals accessible via the YouTube Data API and public endpoints, in compliance with YouTube API Services Terms of Service
  • Reddit: public community posts and engagement signals where permitted by Reddit's API terms and community guidelines
  • Public or licensed fragrance reference datasets (e.g. fragrance catalog metadata, notes, accords) where applicable

Future sources are evaluated against applicable platform terms, API policies, and rate limits before integration.

3. What we do not do

FragranceIndex.ai does not:

  • Sell raw YouTube, Reddit, or TikTok datasets
  • Sell follower lists, subscriber lists, or audience databases
  • Sell private contact information for creators or users
  • Scrape content from behind login walls or authentication barriers
  • Bypass CAPTCHAs, rate limits, or other technical access controls
  • Claim ownership over third-party platform content
  • Use source content as a substitute for or replacement of the original platform
  • Store or display full post bodies or raw comment text in public-facing outputs

4. Source links and attribution

Where source references are displayed in the terminal, they are for context and attribution purposes — linking to the original public content on its original platform. Users should visit the original platform to view content in full.

Limited title excerpts and source URLs may be shown to provide context for signal attribution. These references are not a substitute for the original content or creator relationship.

5. Takedown and exclusion requests

Creators, publishers, or platform representatives who believe their content is improperly referenced or displayed may contact us for review:

legal@fragranceindex.ai

Please include a description of the content in question, the URL or reference where it appears, and your contact information. We will review and respond in good faith.

6. Platform terms and API compliance

We aim to respect applicable platform terms of service, API usage policies, rate limits, and source restrictions. This includes:

  • YouTube API Services Terms of Service (developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service)
  • Reddit API Terms and community guidelines
  • Applicable platform rate limits and access restrictions

If you are a platform representative with a concern about our usage, contact legal@fragranceindex.ai.
