Of course. This is a very common and important question for modern websites that showcase their tech stack.

Handling this correctly protects you from trademark infringement claims and demonstrates good faith respect for the intellectual property of the companies you use.

Here’s a breakdown of what you need to include and how to structure it.

The Short Answer: The "Third-Party Marks" Clause​

You typically won't put this in your Privacy Policy (which governs data use). This belongs in your Terms of Use (or Terms of Service) and often on the specific page where the logos are displayed (e.g., a "Technology" or "Credits" page).

The core of your legal text will be a "Third-Party Trademarks" or " Intellectual Property" clause.

Key Elements to Include in Your Terms of Use​

Create a dedicated section, often titled "Third-Party Trademarks" or "Attributions." Within that section, you should:

1. Declaration of Fair Use and Permission

  • State clearly that these logos are the property of their respective owners.
  • Clarify the nature of the relationship (or lack thereof).

2. Disclaimer of Endorsement or Affiliation

  • This is crucial. You must state that the use of these logos does not imply sponsorship, endorsement, or affiliation with those companies. You are simply a user of their tools.

Sample Wording for Your Terms of Use​

Here is a template you can adapt. The bracketed [ ] parts are for you to customize.

Third-Party Trademarks

This website and our services utilize various third-party technologies. All logos and trademarks displayed on our site, including but not limited to the logos for [List a few major examples, e.g., Google, WordPress, Vercel], and others, are the registered and unregistered intellectual property of their respective owners.

We use these logos under the terms of each owner's brand usage guidelines, solely for the purposes of truthful attribution and identification. Our use of these trademarks does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from these companies.

We make no claim to any third-party trademarks, and all rights are reserved by their respective owners. For a full list of technologies we use, please visit our Technology Credits page.

Best Practice: Create a Dedicated "Technology Credits" Page​

For 40-50 logos, the best user experience and most transparent method is to create a separate page, often linked in the website footer as "Technology Credits," "Our Stack," or "Tools We Use."

On this page, you should:

  1. Reiterate the Legal Disclaimer: Place the disclaimer from your Terms of Use prominently at the top or bottom of this page.
  2. Organize the Logos: Group them logically (e.g., "Hosting & Deployment," "Framework," "Database," "Analytics").
  3. Link to Official Resources: For each logo, consider:
    • Linking the logo directly to the technology's official homepage.
    • Including a text link to the technology's website.
    • Linking to the specific brand guidelines page you are following (this is the gold standard for compliance but can be labor-intensive for 50 logos).

Trademark Notice: All product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners. All company, product and service names used on this website are for identification purposes only. Use of these names, logos, and brands does not imply endorsement.

Critical Action Step: Verify Each Brand's Guidelines​

You mentioned you are using them "within the allowed terms." This is the most important part. You must verify the rules for each major logo. While many companies are permissive, their rules can differ. Common requirements include:

  • Color: Some require the official logo colors, while others prohibit alteration.
  • Spacing: Many have "clear space" requirements mandating a buffer zone around the logo.
  • Wording: Some require specific attribution text near the logo.
  • Size: Some have rules about not being the smallest or largest logo on a page.
  • Context: Most prohibit using their logo in a way that suggests they are your primary client or that they endorse you.

Where to find these guidelines:

  • Search for "[Product Name] brand guidelines" or "[Product Name] logo usage."
  • Example: "Google Firebase brand guidelines" leads to their very clear Branding Guidelines page.

Summary: What to Do Now​

  1. Create/Update Your Terms of Use: Add a "Third-Party Trademarks" clause using the template above.
  2. Create a Dedicated Credits Page: Build a page listing all the technologies. This is user-friendly and transparent.
  3. Link the Two: Link from the Terms of Use to the Credits page, and consider putting a small disclaimer on the Credits page itself.
  4. Double-Check Key Logos: Review the brand guidelines for your top 10-15 most prominent technologies (e.g., Google, Amazon AWS, Microsoft) to ensure you're in full compliance.
  5. Link in Footer: Add a discrete link to your Technology Credits page in your website footer.

By taking these steps, you demonstrate professionalism, respect for intellectual property, and significantly reduce your legal risk.
