DMCA Policy

Last Updated: February 2026

EyeSift respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, EyeSift will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and are properly submitted to our designated copyright agent as described below.

DMCA Overview

The DMCA provides a legal framework for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing material from online platforms. If you believe that content available on or through the EyeSift platform infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Upon receipt of a valid notice, EyeSift will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material and notifying the user who posted the content.

Please note that under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or the service provider. We encourage you to consult with a legal professional before filing a DMCA notice or counter-notification.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that copyrighted material has been posted on or through the EyeSift platform in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a written notification to our designated copyright agent containing all of the following elements as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  • Physical or electronic signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  • Identification of the infringing material: Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit EyeSift to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of your notice is the most effective way to help us locate the content.
  • Contact information: Information reasonably sufficient to permit EyeSift to contact you, such as your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Good faith statement: 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.
  • Accuracy and authority statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that DMCA notices that do not substantially comply with the above requirements may not receive a response. Additionally, if you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you contact an attorney before sending a DMCA notice.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the EyeSift platform was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated copyright agent. Your counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following elements as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

  • Physical or electronic signature: Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of removed material: Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • Statement under penalty of perjury: 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Consent to jurisdiction: Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, EyeSift will promptly forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days of receiving the counter-notification, EyeSift will restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

EyeSift Legal Team
Attn: DMCA Designated Agent
Email: [email protected]
Address: 1234 Tech Boulevard, San Francisco, CA 94105

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, EyeSift has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. EyeSift may also, at its sole discretion, limit access to the Service or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement. We track the number of valid DMCA notices filed against each user, and users who receive multiple valid takedown notices may have their accounts permanently terminated without the opportunity for reinstatement.

Good Faith Requirements

The DMCA requires that all statements made in a takedown notice or counter-notification be accurate and made under penalty of perjury. Filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notification constitutes perjury and may subject you to personal liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. EyeSift reserves the right to refuse to process notices or counter-notifications that appear to be filed in bad faith, are fraudulent, or are otherwise deficient. We strongly encourage you to consult with a qualified attorney before submitting any DMCA-related notice.
