Copyright and DMCA Policy

About this page

This page explains how to tell us that content on perso infringes your copyright or trademark, how we decide, how the person who posted it can respond, and what repeated infringement means for an account. It applies to text, photos, video and the audio in a video. Members may post only content they own or have the rights to use; see the Terms of Service. Copyright notifications under United States law go to the agent named below. Anyone, anywhere, can also report infringing content through our notice and action form, choosing Copyright or Trademark; a person reviews every report, and nothing is removed automatically.

Copyright infringement notices (United States: 17 U.S.C. 512)

ACGG Rent, S.L. has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (designation DMCA-1080376, on file with the U.S. Copyright Office):

Copyright Agent, ACGG Rent, S.L.

Address: Calle Francisco Ayala 27, 28522 Rivas-Vaciamadrid, Spain

Telephone: +34 676 325 212

Email: copyright@perso.social

A notification must be in writing and include the information listed in 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(A): your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work; identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it (for example, its link on perso); your address, telephone number and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

If your material was removed after a copyright notification and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notification to the same agent. As 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3) requires, it must be in writing and include: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared on perso 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; and your name, address and telephone number, with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which ACGG Rent, S.L. may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notification or their agent. When we receive a valid counter-notification, we send a copy to the person who sent the notification and restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days later, unless that person first tells us they have filed a court action seeking an order against you.

The agent address above is only for copyright notifications. You can also report content that infringes intellectual property through our notice and action form, which is open to anyone under the EU Digital Services Act.

Repeat Infringers

Do not post material that infringes someone else's copyright or other intellectual property. When we remove or disable access to material because of a valid notification of infringement, the account that posted it receives a strike once that decision is final: when the time to send a counter-notification has passed and no counter-notification or appeal is pending, or when a counter-notification or appeal is decided against the member. Until then, no strike counts. Where appropriate, we terminate the accounts of members who are repeat infringers. The first strike is a warning. An account that receives a third strike within twelve months is reviewed by a person, who decides whether to terminate it permanently or to take a lesser measure, and records the reason; we may terminate sooner for serious or deliberate infringement. A strike is withdrawn if the notification is withdrawn, if a counter-notification or appeal succeeds, including an appeal decided after the strike was counted, or if we find the notification was mistaken. Before termination you receive a statement of reasons and can appeal as described in these Terms. Notifications of claimed copyright infringement, and counter-notifications, can be sent to our designated agent listed in the Legal Notice, which explains what each must contain.

If you live in Canada

If you live in Canada, the Copyright Act requires us to forward a valid notice of claimed copyright infringement to you and to keep, for six months, a record that lets us identify the account (twelve months if the claimant starts proceedings). Forwarding a notice is not a decision that your content infringes.

In the European Union

In the European Union you can report content that infringes copyright through our notice and action form. A person reviews every notice; nothing is removed automatically. If we restrict your content after a notice, you receive a statement of reasons and can appeal in the app free of charge; a person decides the appeal, within ten working days where Spanish law applies. Quotation, criticism, review, caricature, parody and pastiche are lawful uses that a notice does not override. You may also refer a dispute to the Spanish Intellectual Property Commission (Section One) or to a court.
