At dmca512.com, we take the privacy of our clients and the integrity of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) process seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our DMCA Section 512 compliance and agent services.

1. Information We Collect

Because we facilitate legal processes under 17 U.S.C. § 512, we collect specific information necessary to validate and process notices:

• For Copyright Owners: Name, physical address, email address, telephone number, and electronic signature.

• For Website Owners (Clients): Business name, contact details, and website URLs.

• For Alleged Infringers: We may receive identifying information (IP addresses, usernames, or contact info) provided by our clients or included in counter-notifications.

• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and usage data via cookies to ensure the security of our submission forms.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly for:

• Legal Compliance: Processing Takedown Notices and Counter-Notices as required by Section 512.

• Communication: Contacting you regarding the status of a claim or your account.

• Public Filings: Information provided for “Designated Agent” services may be submitted to the U.S. Copyright Office and will become part of the public record.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

Crucial Notice: By the nature of the DMCA process, information provided in a Takedown Notice or Counter-Notice is not confidential.

• Disclosure to Alleged Infringers: We are required by law to share the details of a Takedown Notice (including the sender’s name and contact info) with the person whose content is being removed.

• Disclosure to Copyright Owners: We share Counter-Notice details with the original complaining party.

• Third-Party Services: We may use “Lumen Database” or similar transparency projects to document and publish notices (often with personal contact info redacted).

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) to protect information during transmission. However, please note that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

5. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Note that we may be legally required to retain certain records for a specific period to comply with Section 512 “Safe Harbor” requirements.
