Content Removal Info

Denverdemocracy.com has established precise mechanisms for content removal in accordance with intellectual property laws (including DMCA provisions), personal data protection regulations, and other applicable digital media regulatory frameworks. We review takedown requests for multiple legitimate reasons, including copyright infringement, privacy violations, defamation, non-consensual intimate content, and illegal materials.

As a user-generated content platform, our terms of service require all contributors to guarantee they possess necessary rights and permissions. While our systems and moderation teams actively screen for prohibited content, we rely on rights holders to report specific violations.

Our Review Process

Upon receiving a valid request, our established protocol includes:

  • Priority verification of reported content (typically within 24 business hours)
  • Immediate disabling or permanent removal of infringing materials
  • Required notification to the uploader regarding actions taken
  • Account restrictions or bans for repeat offenders
  • Comprehensive record keeping for legal compliance purposes
  • Complete archiving of all removal operations as legal evidence

Required Elements for Valid Requests

For expedited review, your official request must include:

  1. Requester Identification: Complete legal name, relationship to content, and legitimacy justification
  2. Exact Material Location: Full URL addresses and unique references for each occurrence
  3. Legal Basis: Detailed explanation of violation nature (intellectual property, privacy, defamation, etc.)
  4. Supporting Evidence: Documentation establishing rights ownership or permissions
  5. Legal Contact Information: Active mailing address, phone contact, and validated email
  6. Good Faith Statement: Signature and sworn statement regarding accuracy of declarations

Legal Grounds for Removal

We process requests according to the following legal frameworks:

  • Intellectual Property: DMCA-compliant processes for copyright violations
  • Data Protection: GDPR claims and personal image rights
  • Reputation Protection: Defamation and character damage
  • Criminal Law: Illegal or harmful materials
  • Minor Safety: Age-inappropriate content

We rigorously apply DMCA procedures for copyright complaints. For other grounds (GDPR, trademark rights, etc.), we analyze requests according to applicable laws.

Submit complete removal requests to our Compliance Officer. Incomplete requests will experience additional processing delays. We may communicate a copy of your notification to the relevant contributor, unless legally restricted.

Appeals and Counter-Notification Procedures

Affected contributors have the right to challenge removal decisions within 10 business days. Counter-notifications must present legally founded arguments and will be analyzed by our legal team.
