DMCA & Copyright Policy

HPLY DMCA & COPYRIGHT POLICY

Last Updated: August 10, 2026

PART 1 — COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE, DESIGNATED AGENT, NOTICES OF CLAIMED INFRINGEMENT, AND TAKEDOWN PROCEDURES

1. Purpose and Scope

This DMCA & Copyright Policy explains how HPLY Inc. (“HPLY,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) receives, reviews, and responds to allegations that content made available through HPLY’s websites, mobile applications, nonprofit portals, administrative systems, APIs, and related services infringes copyright.

This Policy applies to content supplied by users, Nonprofit Organizations, representatives, vendors, partners, and other third parties, including text, photographs, logos, illustrations, video, audio, documents, profile materials, campaign content, comments, and other media where the applicable feature is made available through the Services.

This Policy supplements the HPLY Terms of Service, HPLY Acceptable Use Policy, HPLY Privacy Policy, HPLY Community Guidelines, HPLY Nonprofit Organization Participation Agreement, HPLY Donation & Refund Policy, HPLY Merchandise Terms and Return Policy, and other applicable agreements. It does not replace any right, defense, limitation, exception, remedy, or procedure available under applicable law.

2. Respect for Copyright and Other Rights

HPLY respects the intellectual property rights of creators, Nonprofit Organizations, users, licensors, photographers, designers, publishers, and other rights holders and expects all users of the Services to do the same.

Users may submit or display content only when they own the applicable rights, have obtained sufficient permission, or are otherwise legally authorized to use the content.

The fact that material appears online, on social media, in a public database, or on another website does not necessarily mean that it is free to copy, reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly display, or use commercially.

HPLY may remove or restrict content that infringes copyright or violates another person’s rights, whether or not the complaint satisfies every requirement for statutory safe-harbor treatment.

3. Application of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

HPLY intends to respond to valid notifications of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, including 17 U.S.C. § 512, when that law applies.

Section 512 may limit certain liability of qualifying online service providers that satisfy statutory conditions, including designating an agent to receive notices, responding expeditiously to valid notices, and maintaining an appropriate policy regarding repeat infringers.

Nothing in this Policy constitutes an admission that HPLY qualifies for a particular statutory safe harbor in every circumstance or jurisdiction.

HPLY may also respond to copyright complaints under contractual rights, other laws, platform policy, or voluntary procedures even when the DMCA does not apply.

4. HPLY’s Designated Copyright Agent

A copyright owner or person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf should send a notice of claimed infringement using the contact information below.

HPLY Inc. 3517 Camino del Río South Suite 215, Mailbox #83 San Diego, CA 92108 United States

Email: support@hply.org

HPLY may register a designated copyright agent with the United States Copyright Office. If HPLY registers, changes, or updates its designated copyright agent, this Section will be updated to reflect the current registration.

5. Required Contents of a DMCA Notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice of claimed infringement should be a written communication to HPLY’s designated copyright agent that substantially includes each item required by law.

A notice should contain:

(a) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent;

(b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list where multiple works at one online location are covered;

(c) identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit HPLY to locate it;

(d) information reasonably sufficient to contact the complaining party;

(e) a statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(f) a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

A notice that omits material statutory information may delay HPLY’s response or prevent HPLY from treating the communication as a valid DMCA notice.

HPLY may request clarification or supplemental information but is not obligated to investigate vague, conclusory, or unsupported allegations.

6. Identification of the Copyrighted Work

The notice should identify the copyrighted work with enough specificity for HPLY to understand what is allegedly protected.

Helpful information may include the title, author, creator, copyright registration number, publication date, original URL, authorized source, description, or a copy or representative sample of the work.

If the complaint covers multiple works at a single online location, the complaining party may provide a representative list if permitted by law, but the list must still be sufficiently clear for HPLY to evaluate the claim.

A broad assertion that all content owned by a person or organization is infringed, without identifying the relevant work or material, may be insufficient.

7. Identification and Location of the Allegedly Infringing Material

The notice must identify the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity and provide information reasonably sufficient to permit HPLY to locate it.

The complaining party should provide the exact URL, profile name, Nonprofit Organization name, page title, image location, file name, campaign identifier, or other precise locator.

Screenshots alone may be insufficient if they do not show where the material appears in the Services.

A request to remove an entire website, account, profile, or Nonprofit Organization listing should explain why narrower removal would not address the alleged infringement.

HPLY may decline to search broadly for allegedly infringing material that the complaining party has not reasonably identified.

8. Statements Required in a DMCA Notice

The notice must include a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

The notice must also state that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

The complaining party should consider whether the use may be licensed, authorized, in the public domain, or protected by fair use or another limitation or exception before submitting the notice.

HPLY is not required to decide complex copyright questions conclusively but may consider apparent authorization, licensing, fair use, ownership disputes, and other relevant information when determining its administrative response.

9. Signature and Contact Information

A notice must include the physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.

The notice should also include the complaining party’s full legal name, company or organization if applicable, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

Typing a name at the end of an email may constitute an electronic signature when accompanied by the required declarations and submitted by the authorized person.

The complaining party is responsible for keeping contact information current during HPLY’s review and any counter-notification process.

10. Submission Methods

DMCA notices should be submitted to HPLY using the contact information stated in Section 4.

Submitting a notice to social media, an individual employee, a Nonprofit Organization, a general feedback form, or another address may delay processing and may not constitute delivery to HPLY’s designated copyright agent if HPLY has registered one.

HPLY may make an electronic submission form available for convenience. Use of a form does not reduce the complainant’s responsibility to provide the information required by law.

HPLY may acknowledge receipt electronically. An acknowledgment does not mean that HPLY has determined the notice is valid or that infringement occurred.

11. Multiple Works and Representative Lists

Where multiple copyrighted works at a single online location are involved, a notice may identify a representative list as permitted by Section 512.

The representative list should be sufficiently detailed to allow HPLY to identify the allegedly infringed works and affected material.

A complainant should not combine unrelated claims, different rights holders, or material at multiple unrelated locations in a manner that prevents efficient review.

HPLY may request separate notices where reasonably necessary for accurate processing, different account holders, different legal theories, or different online locations.

12. Review of Notices

HPLY may review a notice for completeness, apparent authority, identification of the work, location of the material, required statements, signature, contact information, and indications of mistake, authorization, license, fair use, abuse, or misrepresentation.

HPLY may consider information supplied by the submitting party, the affected user or Nonprofit Organization, public records, licensing information, service providers, professional advisers, or other relevant sources.

Where the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512 apply and HPLY receives an effective notification of claimed infringement, HPLY may remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously in accordance with applicable law. HPLY may also act under its contractual rights or other applicable law independently of the DMCA.

HPLY may decline, defer, narrow, or reverse action when the notice is incomplete, defective, withdrawn, disputed, abusive, inconsistent, or otherwise insufficient, subject to applicable law.

HPLY’s response to a notice is an administrative platform decision and is not a judicial determination of ownership, infringement, liability, fair use, or damages.

13. Removal or Disabling of Access

Upon receipt of an effective notice, HPLY may remove or disable access to the identified material and will take any action required by applicable law.

HPLY may restrict the specific material, image, file, page, profile element, campaign content, or other item rather than terminating an entire account when narrower action reasonably addresses the claim.

HPLY may take broader action where the content is pervasive, the account is dedicated to infringement, the user is a repeat infringer, the material creates additional legal or safety risk, or narrower action is impracticable.

Removal or restriction may occur without advance notice when prompt action is reasonably necessary.

HPLY may retain nonpublic copies and related records as reasonably necessary in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.

14. Notice to the Affected User or Nonprofit Organization

When HPLY removes or disables access in response to a DMCA notice, HPLY may take reasonable steps to notify the affected user or Nonprofit Organization.

The notice may identify the removed material, provide a copy or summary of the complaint, identify the complaining party, explain the counter-notification process, and state any related account action.

HPLY may redact Personal Information, confidential information, signatures, or information whose disclosure would create safety, privacy, fraud, or legal risk, to the extent legally permitted.

The affected party must not retaliate against, harass, threaten, dox, or misuse information about the complaining party.

HPLY may withhold or delay notice when required or permitted by law, court order, law enforcement requirements, security needs, or another compelling circumstance.

15. Defective, Incomplete, or Misleading Notices

HPLY may reject or request correction of a notice that lacks required information, fails to identify the work or material, is unsigned, omits required statements, provides unusable contact information, or is otherwise materially defective.

HPLY may ask the sender to clarify ownership, authority, licensing, the exclusive right allegedly infringed, the exact location, or other relevant facts.

HPLY is not obligated to remove content based solely on a trademark, privacy, defamation, contract, or generalized ownership complaint presented as a DMCA notice.

Repeated submission of defective or abusive notices may result in communication restrictions or other protective measures, subject to applicable law.

16. Misrepresentation and Abuse of the DMCA Process

Section 512(f) may impose liability on a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification.

A person submitting a notice should not use the DMCA process to suppress criticism, competition, parody, commentary, reporting, fair use, authorized material, public-domain material, or content the sender does not own.

HPLY may preserve evidence of suspected misrepresentation, notify affected parties, reject the notice, restore material, restrict abusive reporting, or refer suspected misconduct to appropriate professional advisers or authorities.

HPLY may require additional verification from persons or entities that repeatedly submit inaccurate, unauthorized, or abusive notices.

17. Preservation of Evidence and Records

HPLY may retain notices, counter-notices, correspondence, account records, content copies, URLs, timestamps, logs, decisions, restoration records, and related evidence as reasonably necessary to administer copyright procedures, address repeat-infringer issues, comply with law, resolve disputes, defend legal rights, protect users and the Services, or support other legitimate purposes described in HPLY’s Privacy Policy.

HPLY may disclose relevant records when required or permitted by law or reasonably necessary to administer the applicable copyright process, defend legal rights, protect users, or cooperate with courts, regulators, law enforcement, service providers, or professional advisers.

Personal Information associated with copyright matters is retained and handled in accordance with HPLY’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Retention of a record does not mean that the material will remain publicly available.

18. Non-DMCA Copyright Complaints

A copyright complaint may fall outside the DMCA because of the location of the parties, nature of the Services, type of material, legal theory, or procedural defect.

HPLY may still review and act on a non-DMCA copyright complaint under applicable law, contract, platform policy, or voluntary procedures.

A complainant should clearly identify the legal basis, rights owned, material at issue, requested action, and supporting evidence.

HPLY may require a court order or additional documentation where ownership, authorization, fair use, or infringement is genuinely disputed.

19. Trademark, Privacy, Defamation, and Other Complaints

The DMCA addresses copyright and does not provide the appropriate procedure for every dispute.

Trademark, impersonation, privacy, publicity, defamation, confidentiality, fraud, harassment, and other complaints should be submitted through the reporting process designated for those issues.

HPLY may route a misdirected complaint to another process but is not obligated to treat a non-copyright complaint as a valid DMCA notice.

A complainant should not include unnecessary Sensitive Personal Information or confidential materials in a complaint.

20. No Legal Advice

This Policy provides general information about HPLY’s procedures and does not constitute legal advice.

Copyright ownership, licensing, fair use, public-domain status, and infringement can involve complex factual and legal questions.

A complainant or affected user should consult qualified counsel before submitting a notice, counter-notice, or legal claim if uncertain about rights or obligations.

HPLY does not represent either party and cannot provide legal advice about the merits of a dispute.

PART 2 — COUNTER-NOTIFICATIONS, RESTORATION, REPEAT INFRINGERS, AND RELATED COPYRIGHT PROCEDURES

1. Right to Submit a Counter-Notification

A user or Nonprofit Organization whose material has been removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice may submit a counter-notification if the user or Nonprofit Organization believes that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.

A counter-notification should not be submitted merely because the affected party disagrees with the complaining party, prefers to keep the material available, or wishes to delay enforcement. The submitting party should have a good-faith basis for asserting that the removal or restriction resulted from mistake or misidentification.

The counter-notification process may have legal consequences. HPLY encourages affected parties to consult qualified counsel before submitting a counter-notification.

2. Required Contents of a Counter-Notification

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notification should be a written communication to HPLY’s designated copyright agent that substantially includes each item required by law.

The counter-notification should include:

(a) the subscriber’s physical or electronic signature;

(b) identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location where the material appeared before removal or disabling;

(c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;

(d) the subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number; and

(e) consent to the jurisdiction and service-of-process provisions required by Section 512(g)(3).

HPLY may request additional information reasonably necessary to identify the material, account, Nonprofit Organization, original notice, or basis for the counter-notification.

3. Identification of Removed or Disabled Material

The counter-notification must identify the specific material removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal.

Helpful information includes the exact URL, nonprofit profile, image name, document title, campaign identifier, page section, original upload date, removal notice reference, or other unique locator.

A general request to restore an entire account, website, profile, or collection of content may be insufficient if the affected material is not specifically identified.

The submitting party should explain any relevant facts supporting mistake, misidentification, license, ownership, authorization, fair use, public-domain status, or another lawful basis.

4. Statements Under Penalty of Perjury

The counter-notification must include a statement under penalty of perjury that the submitting party has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.

The submitting party is responsible for the truth and accuracy of the statement.

HPLY may reject a counter-notification that lacks the required declaration, is materially inconsistent, appears fraudulent, or fails to establish that the signer is the affected subscriber or authorized representative.

Knowingly material misrepresentation in a counter-notification may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and may also violate HPLY’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

5. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process

For a subscriber whose address is within the United States, the counter-notification must state that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the subscriber’s address is located.

If the subscriber’s address is outside the United States, the counter-notification must state that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which HPLY may be found, as required by applicable law.

The counter-notification must also state that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.

6. Signature and Contact Information

The counter-notification must include the physical or electronic signature of the affected subscriber or a person authorized to act on the subscriber’s behalf.

It must also include the submitting party’s full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

The submitting party is responsible for maintaining accurate contact information during the counter-notification process.

HPLY may reject a counter-notification that uses false, incomplete, materially unverifiable, or unusable contact information.

7. Submission and Review of Counter-Notifications

Counter-notifications should be sent to HPLY using the contact information set forth in Part 1, Section 4.

HPLY may review the counter-notification for completeness, signature, identification of the material, required statements, jurisdictional consent, contact information, apparent authority, and indications of fraud or abuse.

HPLY may request clarification or supplemental information and may decline to process a materially defective counter-notification.

HPLY’s acceptance of a counter-notification for processing is not a determination that the submitting party owns the material, has a valid defense, or will prevail in court.

8. Forwarding the Counter-Notification

When HPLY receives an effective counter-notification, HPLY may promptly provide a copy to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice as contemplated by Section 512(g).

The forwarded copy may include the counter-notifying party’s contact information and required statutory statements because the DMCA process contemplates possible legal action between the parties.

HPLY may redact information not required for the process when legally permitted and appropriate for safety, privacy, fraud prevention, or security.

A person submitting a counter-notification should understand that the information may be disclosed to the original complainant and may be used in legal proceedings.

HPLY cannot guarantee confidentiality of information that must be disclosed to administer the statutory process.

9. Restoration of Material

After forwarding an effective counter-notification, HPLY may restore the removed material or cease disabling access in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), unless HPLY’s designated copyright agent receives notice that the original complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the affected party from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

Subject to the statutory requirements, Section 512(g) generally contemplates restoration not less than ten and not more than fourteen business days after HPLY receives an effective counter-notification unless HPLY receives the required notice of court action.

HPLY may keep material restricted for an independent reason, including violation of the Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy, Community Guidelines, Nonprofit Organization Participation Agreement, another applicable HPLY policy or agreement, privacy or security risk, fraud, illegality, court order, contractual restriction, or another lawful basis independent of the copyright notice.

Restoration does not constitute a ruling that the material is lawful, authorized, fair use, or non-infringing.

10. Court Actions and Continued Restriction

If the original complaining party notifies HPLY that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the affected party from infringing activity, HPLY may continue disabling access to the material pending resolution or further lawful direction.

HPLY may request a filed complaint, case number, court, filing date, parties, and other information reasonably sufficient to verify the action.

HPLY is not required to adjudicate the lawsuit, participate as a party, or monitor every filing unless legally required.

HPLY will comply with valid court orders and may preserve relevant evidence while the dispute remains pending.

11. Withdrawal of Notices and Counter-Notices

A complaining party may withdraw a DMCA notice by providing a clear written statement to HPLY identifying the notice, material, affected account, and requested action.

A counter-notifying party may withdraw a counter-notification through a similarly clear written communication.

HPLY may restore or continue restricting material after a withdrawal depending on timing, other policy violations, court proceedings, legal obligations, and platform risk.

A withdrawal does not necessarily erase the historical record or prevent HPLY from considering the matter in repeat-infringer or abuse analysis, subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

12. Repeat Infringer Policy

HPLY may terminate, suspend, or materially restrict users or Nonprofit Organizations that HPLY determines, in appropriate circumstances, are repeat infringers.

The repeat-infringer policy is intended to support compliance with Section 512(i), protect rights holders, deter repeated misuse, and preserve the integrity of the Services.

HPLY may consider valid copyright complaints, removals, counter-notifications, retractions, court outcomes, licensing evidence, account relationships, and other relevant information.

No fixed numerical threshold applies in every case. HPLY may consider the totality of the circumstances and may take immediate action for a single egregious violation where appropriate.

HPLY’s policy does not require automatic termination merely because a specified number of complaints has been received.

13. Factors Considered in Repeat-Infringer Decisions

Relevant factors may include the number and frequency of substantiated complaints, similarity of the works, whether the same user or Nonprofit Organization repeatedly submitted infringing material, the user’s or Nonprofit Organization’s response, counter-notification outcomes, retractions, court decisions, evidence of authorization, and whether violations were intentional or concealed.

HPLY may distinguish between good-faith mistake, ambiguous ownership, licensed use, fair-use disputes, and clear or willful infringement.

HPLY may also consider evasion, replacement accounts, related accounts, repeated use of unauthorized images, commercial exploitation, failure to remove known infringing content, and disregard of prior warnings.

HPLY’s repeat-infringer determination is an administrative platform decision and does not constitute a judicial finding of infringement.

14. Account and Nonprofit Organization Consequences

Consequences for users may include warning, education, removal of specific content, upload restrictions, loss of media privileges, suspension of profile editing, removal of featured placement, API restrictions, temporary User-account suspension, or permanent User-account termination.

Any suspension, restriction, deactivation, or termination of a participating Nonprofit Organization remains governed by the HPLY Nonprofit Organization Participation Agreement.

HPLY may continue to display accurate public facts about a Nonprofit Organization after administrative access ends, subject to applicable law, HPLY policy, and the Nonprofit Organization Participation Agreement, provided the remaining content is lawful and does not infringe.

Termination for copyright reasons does not eliminate payment, recordkeeping, confidentiality, donor, dispute, or other surviving obligations under applicable HPLY agreements.

HPLY may prohibit a terminated user from creating replacement accounts or administering another Nonprofit Organization through evasion.

15. Restoration After Error or Misidentification

If HPLY determines that material was removed because of clerical error, mistaken identity, incorrect URL, withdrawn notice, confirmed license, authorization, or another clear mistake, HPLY may restore the material without requiring completion of the full counter-notification process where legally appropriate.

HPLY may notify the parties of restoration and retain records explaining the correction in accordance with its Privacy Policy and applicable law.

HPLY is not responsible for loss of traffic, ranking, donations, publicity, or other consequences arising during a good-faith review, except to the extent liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under the HPLY Terms of Service or applicable law.

A corrected error should not ordinarily count against a user or Nonprofit Organization in repeat-infringer analysis.

16. Copyright Complaints Involving Nonprofit Profiles

Copyright complaints involving Nonprofit Organization profiles may concern logos, photographs, profile descriptions, campaign text, reports, videos, illustrations, maps, brochures, or other content.

A Nonprofit Organization claiming ownership of a profile does not automatically own every item displayed on the profile. Individual items may be owned by photographers, agencies, employees, licensors, publishers, beneficiaries, or other parties.

HPLY may disable a disputed item while leaving the remainder of the profile available.

A Nonprofit Organization representative submitting content must maintain sufficient rights and should preserve licenses, assignments, releases, permissions, and source records as appropriate.

HPLY may require replacement media or proof of authorization before restoring or approving content.

17. Copyright Complaints Involving Images and Media

Image and media complaints should identify the original work, allegedly infringing copy, exact location, photographer or creator, ownership or authorization basis, and any licensing information.

Removing metadata, cropping, resizing, adding a logo, applying filters, or reposting an image does not necessarily avoid infringement.

Media depicting identifiable individuals may also implicate privacy, publicity, consent, safeguarding, or contractual rights that are separate from copyright.

HPLY may restrict media for any independent policy or legal reason even if a copyright complaint is withdrawn or disputed.

18. Copyright Complaints Involving Public Records and Factual Information

Facts, ideas, systems, methods, names, short phrases, and certain government works may not receive the same copyright protection as original expression, although compilations, photographs, graphics, written descriptions, and database selection or arrangement may be protected.

The public availability of a filing, report, nonprofit record, or government database does not necessarily resolve copyright, database, privacy, contractual, or access questions.

HPLY may independently summarize factual information rather than reproduce protected expression.

Complex disputes concerning public records, factual compilations, or database rights may require additional evidence or a court order.

19. International Copyright Complaints

A rights holder outside the United States may submit a DMCA notice if the DMCA applies to the relevant HPLY service or may identify another applicable legal basis.

HPLY may request information concerning the country, law, work, rights owned, allegedly infringing use, remedy requested, and jurisdictional basis.

HPLY may apply the DMCA process voluntarily as an administrative framework without conceding that U.S. law governs every international dispute.

HPLY may comply with valid foreign court orders, statutory notices, platform obligations, or other applicable procedures where appropriate.

20. Abuse, Fraud, and Retaliation

Users may not use copyright complaints or counter-notifications to harass, intimidate, retaliate, suppress lawful criticism, interfere with competitors, obtain Personal Information improperly, disrupt Nonprofit Organization operations, or commit fraud.

Parties may not forge signatures, impersonate rights holders, alter evidence, fabricate registrations, conceal licenses, or knowingly misstate authority.

HPLY may restrict abusive reporters, suspend accounts, preserve evidence, restore content, notify affected parties, or refer suspected misconduct to professional advisers, courts, regulators, or law enforcement.

Retaliation against a complaining party, counter-notifying party, witness, or cooperating person violates HPLY’s Acceptable Use Policy.

21. Privacy and Disclosure of Complaint Information

HPLY processes Personal Information contained in notices, counter-notices, correspondence, and legal records as described in the Privacy Policy and as reasonably necessary to administer applicable copyright procedures.

The DMCA process may require HPLY to disclose a notice or counter-notification, including contact information and statutory statements, to the opposing party.

HPLY may also disclose records to service providers, courts, regulators, law enforcement, insurers, professional advisers, or other parties when required or permitted by law or reasonably necessary for the applicable purpose.

Parties should not include unnecessary Sensitive Personal Information, confidential business records, complete financial credentials, medical information, or unrelated personal information in submissions.

HPLY may redact information where legally permitted and appropriate but cannot guarantee confidentiality of a statutory notice, counter-notification, or other information that must be disclosed to administer the applicable process.

22. Recordkeeping

HPLY may retain records of notices, counter-notifications, acknowledgments, correspondence, content locations, removals, restorations, account actions, court notices, withdrawals, repeat-infringer decisions, and related copyright matters as reasonably necessary in accordance with HPLY’s Privacy Policy and applicable law.

Records may be used as reasonably necessary to administer copyright procedures, comply with legal obligations, address repeat-infringer issues, resolve disputes, protect HPLY and its users, respond to lawful process, and support other legitimate purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

HPLY may use aggregated or de-identified information for transparency reporting, internal statistical analysis, security, and process improvement where permitted by applicable law.

23. Policy Changes

HPLY may update this Policy prospectively to reflect changes in law, Copyright Office requirements, court decisions, platform features, or HPLY’s Services.

Material changes may be communicated through the Services or another appropriate method where required or appropriate.

Changes do not retroactively alter the legal effect of a notice or counter-notification submitted under an earlier version unless applicable law requires otherwise.
