Photo credits and image policy

Our image policy

An image should faithfully show what the page describes: a real place in Les Gets, a landscape, a facility. We do not use generic stock photos that would suggest a picture taken elsewhere shows the village, and we do not publish images edited to make a place look better than it is.

Every photo is recorded in an internal register with its author, licence, link to the original and alternative text in English and French for people using screen readers. This complements the verification method we apply to our texts.

Licences we accept

We only publish images that are:

• under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence: the author must be credited;
• under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) licence: the author must be credited and the licence stated;
• in the public domain or released under CC0;
• supplied by their author or by a business with written permission to publish.

We do not use images under “non-commercial” (NC) licences, or “no derivatives” (ND) licences where cropping is needed, nor images taken from social media or third-party websites without permission.

Photos on directory listings

A business listing is only illustrated with a freely licensed photo or one the business has authorised us to use. Otherwise, the listing has no photo. Businesses can send us one through our page for local businesses or the contact form, confirming that they hold the rights.

How we credit

For each image, the list below shows: the title or subject, the author’s name as given on the source, the licence with a link to its text, and a link to the original file. Where the licence requires it, we note whether the image has been cropped or resized.

Asking for a removal or a credit correction

Are you the author of a photo published here and the credit is wrong, or do you think an image is being used outside its licence? Write to us through the contact form, giving the page, the image concerned and a link to the original. We check the request and correct the credit or remove the image as quickly as we can.
