DMCA Takedown Process

1. Overview

DatIQ is a zero-code web extraction platform. Any user can choose to publish their extraction as a public, shareable page (a "Public Report") at a unique URL like /p/abcdef12. These pages are user-generated content, and the originating user is responsible for ensuring they have the right to publish the material they extracted.

If you believe a public report on DatIQ infringes your copyright, you can submit a takedown notice. We honour valid DMCA takedown requests within 5 business days.

2. What a valid takedown notice must include

Under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), a valid takedown notice must contain all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works).
2. Identification of the infringing material — the URL of the DatIQ public report (e.g. https://datiq.app/p/abcdef12).
3. Your contact information — name, address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement of good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement of accuracy and authority, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

3. How to submit

Email the takedown notice to:

Use the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" so the request is triaged correctly.

4. What happens after you submit

• We acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
• If the notice is valid, the public report is removed and the public slug is marked as is_public=false in our database within 5 business days total.
• The originating user is notified by email (if we have a contact on file) and may submit a counter-notice under §512(g).
• Repeated DMCA strikes against a single account result in account suspension.

5. Counter-notices

If you believe your public report was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and its location before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a consent to the jurisdiction of a federal court in your district (or any district where DatIQ may be found).

Send counter-notices to the same legal@datiq.app address.

6. Repeat infringers

DatIQ reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts of repeat infringers in accordance with §512(i). Our standard is three (3) valid takedown notices within twelve (12) months.

7. What is NOT a takedown notice

The following are not valid takedown notices and will not be actioned:

• "I don't want my page here" without a copyright claim — use the unshare button on the report itself.
• Generic complaints about DatIQ's product or pricing — contact support@datiq.app.
• Takedown notices sent by a party other than the copyright owner or an authorised agent.

8. Indian law (for India-based complainants)

DatIQ is incorporated in India. If you are based in India, the Information Technology Act, 2000 (and the IT Rules 2021) provide a parallel takedown process. The same notice submitted to legal@datiq.app with the subject line "IT Act Takedown Request" is honoured under both regimes.
