Copyright concerns and takedown requests go here.

Use this page for a rights contact, takedown workflow, and any publication-specific copyright language you need later.

If you believe material on this site is posted in error, send the page URL, the rights claim, and the contact details that should be used for follow-up. The request will be reviewed and handled directly.

The final version of this page should include a real legal contact and any jurisdiction-specific language your counsel recommends.

What a rights notice should contain

A rights notice should identify the material, provide the exact page URL, explain the rights interest, and include a reliable contact route. If only part of a page is disputed, describe that part precisely so the request can be reviewed without guesswork.

False or incomplete notices can delay a fair review. Include only information needed to establish the claim and explain the requested remedy.

Review and response

The final process should record when a notice arrived, what was checked, who reviewed it, and what action was taken. If material is changed, corrected, or removed, the record should preserve the original URL and the reason for the decision.

Preserving a fair process

A review should distinguish an ownership complaint from a request to correct attribution, remove personal information, or fix an ordinary factual error. Different issues may need different responses. Keeping the request, source material, decision, and date together makes the process easier to audit.

Where a notice is incomplete, the reviewer should request the missing information rather than guessing at the claimant’s intent.

Related requests

Not every rights concern is a takedown request. Some matters are better handled as an attribution correction, a factual correction, a privacy concern, or a broken-source report. Identifying the issue accurately helps the reviewer choose a proportionate response.

Include enough detail for the reviewer to locate the material and understand the remedy being requested.
