Submit a copyright takedown request
If your copyright-protected work is posted on hiCreo without authorization, you can submit a copyright takedown request. Submitting a takedown request will start a legal process.
Before you submit a takedown request, you should know:
Copyright exceptions: You need to consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar exception to copyright law applies. If an exception applies, then the takedown request you submit would be invalid.
Personal info:
If a picture is removed for copyright infringement, the name of the copyright owner will be visible on hiCreo in place of the photograph.
If you give us a valid legal alternative, such as the name of a company or authorized representative, we will review and apply it if appropriate.
The copyright owner's name you enter will become part of the public record of your request.
Public Record
The uploader of the infringing video can request a copy of your takedown request. The information shown in this public record includes:
- Name of the copyright owner
- Primary email address
- Secondary email address
- Your full legal name
- Your description of the allegedly infringing work
- Your responses to hiCreo's requests for more information. hiCreo will request more information if your initial takedown request is incomplete or appears invalid.
Your full legal name is required to complete a takedown request. It may be shared with the uploader of the video removed for copyright infringement.
The primary email address from your takedown request will be shared with the video's uploader removed for copyright infringement. The uploader might get in touch with you to resolve the appropriate copyright strike.
Your physical address and phone number will remain confidential unless requested as part of a lawsuit. If hiCreo is required to share any information, we will notify you before doing so. Scheduled requests: You can schedule takedown requests to take effect after seven days. Due requests will notify the uploader and give them seven days before the content gets removed.
