DMCA policy

Purgio files copyright takedown notices on behalf of creators. This page explains how we do that responsibly — and what to do if you disagree with a notice.

Last updated: 10 July 2026

How we file notices

We send takedown notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent laws, on behalf of creators who use our service. Before any notice is sent:

  • the creator proves ownership of the accounts and likeness involved;
  • recognition technology (face & watermark matching) confirms the content matches the creator's protected material; and
  • the creator personally reviews and approves the match.

Every notice is sent in good faith and contains the statements required by law, made on behalf of the rights holder.

Received a notice from us?

If you host or published the content, the fastest resolution is to remove it. If you believe a notice was sent in error — for example you are the rights holder or have a licence — reply to the notice or email info@purgio.com with:

  • the URL(s) concerned and the notice reference (if any);
  • who you are and how we can reach you; and
  • why you believe the content is not infringing.

We review disputes promptly. If a notice turns out to be mistaken, we withdraw it and inform the recipient.

Counter-notices

Where the DMCA applies, you may also file a formal counter-notice with the service provider that received our notice. If we receive a valid counter-notice, we inform the creator we represent so they can decide whether to pursue the matter further.

Abuse

Knowingly filing false takedown notices is against our terms and the law. Customers who attempt to target content that is not theirs are removed from the service.
