Photo & Video Requests Permissions
Explore Butte County (EBC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting travel and tourism to Butte County. We rely on a network of partners and supporters to tell the story of the area in accurate and compelling ways.
A key partner is a local or visitor to Butte County who share their experiences through social media. Our organization cannot begin to capture all that there is to know about and do across the county, so we rely on others’ willingness to give us sharing permissions for their work.
Most commonly, we will ask for the following usage rights from users with public social media profiles:
