UGC Licensing & Rights Tracker

A dashboard that tracks usage rights for creator content licensed to brands: what was granted, for which channels, for how long, and when it expires. It brings order to the legally messy, currently-unmanaged world of UGC and brand-creator deals.

🎯The Problem

UGC and brand-creator deals are exploding, and the rights side is a legal mess. A creator licenses a video to a brand 'for 3 months of paid social,' but six months later the brand is still running it as a YouTube pre-roll, an unlicensed use the creator is owed for but cannot track. Brands, meanwhile, have spreadsheets of creator clips with no idea which licenses expired, exposing them to claims. Both sides manage this in scattered DMs and PDFs, so usage rights silently lapse and money or compliance falls through the cracks.

💡The Solution

Log each licensing deal with structured terms: deliverables, permitted channels, territory, usage window, exclusivity, and fee. The tool tracks each license's status, sends expiry and renewal alerts to both parties, stores the signed agreement, and gives creators an audit view to spot out-of-scope usage and brands a clean register of what they are cleared to run.

👥Target Users

UGC creators and brand-deal-heavy influencers, plus the small brands and agencies licensing their content, who currently track usage rights in DMs, email, and spreadsheets.
