Responsible sharing
Share a public link collection safely and usefully
Create understandable public collections while checking source attribution, copyright, sensitive information, maintenance, and a clear reporting path.
Explain why each link belongs in the collection
A public page that only lists titles gives visitors little help in deciding what to open. Use the collection name and description to identify the intended reader, the boundaries of the topic, and the criteria used to select sources. This editorial explanation gives the collection value beyond another set of search results.
A useful collection does not need the largest number of links. Choose sources that perform different roles: an introduction, a deeper explanation, a practical example, and a warning about common mistakes. A deliberate sequence helps visitors understand the overall learning path while they move between the original sites.
Keep the source and destination visible
Links and previews in a public collection are not original content created by Savepond. Show the title, channel or domain, and destination clearly so a visitor can verify the information and its terms on the source website. Attribution should remain understandable before the visitor decides to leave the collection.
Do not download or redistribute YouTube video files, audio, or captions. Savepond organizes official links and limited metadata. If the original owner removes an item or changes its visibility, the material may no longer be available. Both the curator and the visitor should treat the source page as the authority.
Remove private and sensitive material before publishing
A link that was useful in a private library may point to customer documents, private repositories, personal identifiers, or internal schedules. It does not belong in a public collection. Check not only whether the URL opens publicly, but also whether the preview title or description reveals information that should remain private.
Adult or otherwise sensitive material, and links suspected of illegal activity or rights infringement, may be restricted from public surfaces. Automated classification cannot detect every risk. The curator must review the source directly and apply a conservative rule: when permission or safety is uncertain, keep the link private.
Maintain a living list that can be corrected and reported
External links change over time. Their content, owner, and access status may differ from the day they were selected. Review broken links and outdated descriptions periodically, and remove sources that no longer meet the collection criteria. Ongoing maintenance is what preserves trust in a curated public page.
Provide a contact path for reports about rights infringement or high-risk content. When a report arrives, the affected link should be reviewed and, when appropriate, hidden while a restore or block decision is made. Savepond publishes the relevant standards and official support address on its policy pages.
