DMCA & Copyright Policy

I Love Doc (“we”, “us”) responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and with equivalent notice procedures under other applicable laws. We reserve the right to act on notices that do not strictly meet statutory formality requirements where the claim is otherwise clear.

The Service is a pipe, not a warehouse: files move live from a sender’s browser to a receiver’s browser and are never stored on our infrastructure. When we receive a valid notice, the actions available to us are:

• Terminate live sessions. Expire or cancel an in-progress transfer that is sharing the identified material.
• Disable share links. Deactivate the link and 6-digit code so no further downloads can start, even before natural expiry.
• Block repeat or abusive senders by network address and device signals, to the extent technically feasible.
• Preserve and disclose records — the metadata described in our Privacy Policy — where required by law.

What we cannot do is “remove” files from storage, because there is no storage: once a transfer has completed and expired, the files exist only on the two devices that took part. If you need material removed from a specific recipient’s device, that is a matter between you and that person — the DMCA gives service providers no power over end-user devices, and neither do we have any.

To be effective under the DMCA, your written notice must be sent to [email protected] with the subject line “DMCA” and must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (for example, the title and a description or representative excerpt);
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing, including enough detail for us to find it — most usefully the share link or 6-digit code of the transfer, plus the file name(s) and the date and time you observed it;
• Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the identified use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

What happens next

We review notices as they arrive. For notices that are valid and identify a live or recent transfer, we take the actions listed above and confirm by email where a reply address is available. Because sessions are short-lived by design, material identified in a notice has often already expired on its own — we still act, so that any late downloader is blocked.

If your transfer was disabled because of a takedown notice and you believe the claim was mistaken or misidentified, you may send a counter-notification to [email protected] including:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material that was disabled and where it appeared (share link or code);
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, and telephone number; and
• your consent to the jurisdiction of a court in the district where you live (or, if outside the United States, where the Service’s operator is located), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the disabled material in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days, unless the original complainant notifies us of a court action seeking to restrain the activity — all as provided by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to block senders we identify as repeat infringers from using the Service. Because the Service has no accounts, identification is necessarily imperfect — we act on network addresses, device signals, and behavior patterns where technically feasible.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a notice or counter-notification that material is infringing — or was disabled by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please make sure your notice is accurate before sending it.

This policy describes how we handle copyright complaints. It is not legal advice, and it does not create rights beyond those the law provides. If you are unsure of your position, consult qualified counsel in your jurisdiction.
