DMCA & Copyright Policy

How we handle copyright infringement claims on PhotoFun.

PhotoFun respects intellectual property rights and expects our users to do the same. This policy describes how copyright owners can report alleged infringement and how we respond, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. Section 512.

Filing a takedown notice

If you believe content on PhotoFun infringes your copyright, send a written notice to [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice" containing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
2. Identification of the infringing material with enough detail for us to locate it (URL, hunt name, or description)
3. Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, phone number, and email
4. A good faith statement that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
5. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
6. Your physical or electronic signature

How we respond

Upon receiving a valid notice, we will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
• Notify the user who posted the content
• Preserve records for at least 3 years

Counter-notification

If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you may submit a counter-notification to [email protected] with subject line "DMCA Counter-Notification" containing:

1. Identification of the removed material and where it appeared
2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification
3. Your full legal name, address, and phone number
4. Consent to jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or Los Angeles County, CA if outside the U.S.)
5. Your physical or electronic signature

We will forward the counter-notification to the original complainant and restore the content in 10 to 14 business days unless the complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringer policy

PhotoFun reserves the right to terminate any account for a single instance of willful or egregious infringement.

Misuse warning

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees.

Typical non-infringing content

PhotoFun is a photo scavenger hunt app. Users photograph public landmarks, buildings, street art, food, and real-world subjects. In most cases, a user's own photograph of a publicly visible subject is an original work and not infringement. PhotoFun does not permit users to submit photos they did not take themselves.
