DMCA Policy

Last updated: April 1, 2026

Droploud respects intellectual property rights and expects its users to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners can report alleged infringement on the Droploud platform, and how users can respond if they believe content was removed in error. This policy is designed to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/790 on copyright in the Digital Single Market.

For Owners of Copyrighted Works

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been uploaded to Droploud without your authorization, you may submit a takedown notice to our designated copyright agent. Your notice must include all of the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest
• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list
• A description of the material that you claim is infringing, including the URL(s) or other specific information sufficient for us to locate the material on the Website
• Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement that the information in your notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed

Important: Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer or by Droploud.

Response & Processing

Upon receiving a valid and complete takedown notice, Droploud will act expeditiously to disable access to or remove the reported content. We will make a reasonable effort to notify the user who uploaded the content, providing them with a copy of the takedown notice and information about how to file a counter-notification.

We aim to process valid DMCA notices within 72 hours of receipt.

Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our copyright agent. Your counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the URL at which the material appeared before it was removed
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your district (or, for users outside the United States, the courts of Italy) and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or their agent

After we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action seeking an order against you within 10 business days, we may restore the removed content. Please note that you may not re-upload content that has been removed pursuant to a valid DMCA notice until the dispute is resolved.

EU Copyright Claims

Users in the European Union may also file copyright infringement claims under DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/790. To do so, contact our copyright agent at the address below and include "EU Copyright Infringement Claim" in the subject line. Include the same information as listed above for DMCA notices. EU users may also access alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms as provided by their member state.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Droploud maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. If a user receives multiple valid takedown notices, their account may be permanently suspended or terminated at Droploud's sole discretion, and they may be prohibited from creating new accounts.
