You may republish and share your aggregated iOS and Android integrations as displayed in your Installation Badge provided that you include a backlink to your SDK's public page on 42matters.com/sdks. Again, you can see an example of these public pages here.

Unauthorized

Unauthorized SDK Badge Usage

Don't be sneaky! If your SDK didn't earn a badge, don't use them. Also, only display badges you actually earned. For example, if you earned a Hidden Gem Badge, don't use a Category Leader Badge.
Likewise, unless you get express permission from 42matters (that's us!) and the owner of the SDK, don't display badges awarded to SDKs that you didn't develop.
Regarding design, please don't alter, abridge, or otherwise modify any of the badge assets without the express approval of 42matters.
Don't screenshot any portion of the 42matters website for any purpose.
On a more serious note, you may not resell or otherwise exploit for commercial gain any content or data from the 42matters site except as expressly set forth in these guidelines and / or in accordance with your applicable license.
One last thing to keep in mind: If you use an SDK badge in a way that does not align with our usage policy, we reserve the right to revoke the badge.
