DMCA & Copyright Policy

Effective date: July 13, 2026

Notice-and-takedown procedures for copyright owners and SocialSafe users.

SocialSafe, Inc. respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users of https://socialsafe.cloud and the SocialSafe services to do the same. This policy explains how to submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement and how to submit a counter-notification.

1. Before Sending a Notice

Consider whether the disputed use is authorized by the copyright owner, licensed, in the public domain, or permitted by law, including fair use. Submitting a knowingly false or materially misleading notice may create liability.

2. Copyright Infringement Notice

A copyright owner or authorized agent may send a written notice to SocialSafe's designated copyright agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c)(3), the notice should include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if multiple works on one site are covered.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for SocialSafe to locate it, including the specific URL, account, content identifier, or other location details.
4. Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send the notice to:

Email is preferred. The subject line should read: "DMCA Notice of Claimed Infringement." Notices unrelated to copyright may not receive a response through this channel.

3. SocialSafe's Response

Upon receiving a substantially compliant notice, SocialSafe may remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the affected user, request additional information, preserve relevant records, and take other steps appropriate under the DMCA and applicable law.

4. Counter-Notification

If material you posted or stored was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification that includes:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, the federal judicial district where SocialSafe may be found.
6. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

Send the counter-notification to [email protected] with the subject line: "DMCA Counter-Notification."

5. Restoration After Counter-Notification

After forwarding a valid counter-notification to the original complaining party, SocialSafe may restore the material after the period permitted by the DMCA unless the complaining party informs us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

6. Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, SocialSafe may terminate accounts or access of users determined to be repeat infringers. SocialSafe may also limit access or terminate accounts for serious or repeated intellectual-property violations even if each matter does not result in a formal determination.

7. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

8. Other Intellectual-Property Complaints

Trademark, impersonation, privacy, or other non-copyright complaints should be sent to [email protected], not to the DMCA agent, unless the complaint also includes a copyright claim.

9. Designated Agent Registration

For DMCA safe-harbor eligibility, SocialSafe must maintain current designated-agent contact information both on its website and in the U.S. Copyright Office's online directory. The public website and Copyright Office filing should match.
