DMCA
IndianLeaked (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Notice and Takedown requirements of 17 U.S.C. ยง 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and the relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act, 2000 (India).
As an online service provider, IndianLeaked qualifies as a “Service Provider” under the DMCA and an “Intermediary” under Section 2(1)(w) of the IT Act, 2000. Accordingly, we are entitled to the “Safe Harbor” protections provided by these laws, provided we act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving a valid notification.
1. Our Takedown Policy
It is our policy to respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement or privacy violations that comply with applicable laws. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, or if you are an individual whose privacy has been violated via non-consensual content, and you believe that any content on our site infringes your rights or violates your privacy, please submit a report.
We reserve the right to remove any material or activity on our site at our sole discretion. This includes, but is not limited to, material claimed to be infringing, material that violates our terms of service, or material that appears to be illegal or harmful. We will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright or privacy rights.
2. How to Submit a DMCA or Takedown Notice
If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or if you are the subject of content posted without your consent, please provide us with the following information in a written notification (via email):
- Identification of Work: A description of the copyrighted work or private content that you claim has been infringed or violated.
- Identification of Material: A detailed description of the location of the material on our site that you claim is infringing (e.g., the specific URL link where the content is found).
- Contact Information: Your full legal name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
- Statement of Good Faith: A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, the law, or (in the case of privacy violations) the individual depicted.
- Statement of Accuracy: A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner, intellectual property owner, or authorized to act on their behalf. In cases of privacy violations, you must provide proof of identity (e.g., government ID) matching the individual in the content.
- Signature: An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright, intellectual property interest, or the individual whose privacy is violated.
Send all notices to:
- Email: [[email protected]]
- Subject Line: “DMCA Takedown Notice” or “Privacy Violation Report”
3. Counter-Notice Procedure
If you believe that your content was removed in error or due to a misunderstanding, you may submit a Counter-Notice. This must include:
- Your contact information.
- Identification of the removed material and its prior location.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receiving a valid Counter-Notice, we may restore the removed material within 10-14 business days unless we receive notice that the original complainant has filed a legal action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.
4. Privacy & Non-Consensual Content (Important)
IndianLeaked is committed to user safety. While we aggregate public content, we understand the sensitivity of “leaked” or private videos.
- If you are the individual depicted in a video or image on our site and it was posted without your consent, please contact us immediately using the form above.
- We prioritize these requests. Upon verification of your identity (via ID match), we will remove the content within 24 hours.
- We do not tolerate “Revenge Porn” or non-consensual intimate imagery.
5. Repeat Infringer Policy
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, it is our policy to terminate the accounts (if applicable) or block access from users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright or privacy rights. We define a “repeat infringer” as any user or entity that has been subject to more than one valid takedown notice.
6. Legal Disclaimer
This policy is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. IndianLeaked reserves the right to modify, alter, or add to this policy at any time without prior notice. All users should regularly check this page to stay current with any changes. By using this site, you agree to abide by these terms.
Important Note for the Site Owner:
- Email Address: Replace
[[email protected]]with your actual contact email. If you do not have a dedicated email for this, use your main contact email, but a dedicated one is recommended for legal clarity. - Legal Compliance: While this document is drafted to be legally robust based on standard DMCA and IT Act templates, laws regarding “leaked” content and intermediary liability are complex and vary by jurisdiction. It is highly advisable to consult with a legal professional to ensure full compliance with local laws in India and internationally.
