Terms of Service
Last updated: September 16, 2026
1. Acceptance
By using Trend Signal, you agree to these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
2. The service
Trend Signal is a private creator research and analytics platform. It helps authorized users record intent, predictions, experiments, analytics snapshots and evidence-weighted learning. It is a research instrument, not a promise of reach, followers, sales or any other social-media or business result.
3. Accounts
Accounts are approved by the owner. Keep your credentials and authenticator code private, use only your own account, and tell the owner promptly if you believe access was misused. The owner may grant, limit or revoke access.
4. Authorized TikTok connections
You may connect a TikTok account only when you have authority to authorize that account and its data for Trend Signal. The current integration uses TikTok Login Kit with user.info.basic, user.info.stats and video.list. It is read-only: Trend Signal cannot publish, edit, delete, like or comment on TikTok content through these permissions. Trend Signal is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by TikTok.
5. Your information and acceptable use
You remain responsible for the creator-entered notes, research, URLs and other information you submit, including having the right to submit it. Do not upload unlawful material, credentials belonging to someone else, malware, or information you are not permitted to store. Do not probe, disrupt, scrape, reverse engineer or attempt to bypass access controls.
6. Ownership
You retain rights in information you provide. Trend Signal’s software, visual design and documentation belong to their respective owners. You grant the service the limited permission needed to store and display your submissions to you and to approved users or releases you authorize.
7. Third-party services and accuracy
TikTok and DreamHost are separate third-party services with their own terms and availability. TikTok counters can be delayed, rounded, corrected or unavailable. Trend Signal preserves source labels and uncertainty, but it does not guarantee that imported data is complete or current. Manual Studio metrics remain your responsibility to enter accurately.
8. Availability and changes
The service may be changed, paused or discontinued, including to protect research data or respond to a third-party API change. Backups are a practical recovery measure, not a promise of uninterrupted availability.
9. Suspension and termination
Access may be suspended or terminated for misuse, unauthorized access, security concerns or at the owner’s direction. You may stop using the service and request deletion as described in the Privacy Policy.
10. Disclaimers and limitation
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Trend Signal is provided as available without warranties that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or produce a particular outcome. To the extent permitted by law, the operator is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from use of the service, third-party services or reliance on analytics. Nothing here limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
11. Governing law
GOVERNING_LAW_JURISDICTION_REQUIRED: Eric should insert the governing jurisdiction after obtaining appropriate legal advice. No jurisdiction or corporate entity is asserted by these terms.
12. Changes and contact
These terms may be updated when the service changes. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. Questions: Eric@ericbarker.co.
