DMCA Policy

The Digital Wise respects copyright. If you believe content on this site infringes yours, this page is the fastest way to get it taken down. If your content has been removed unfairly, this page is also how you challenge that.

Sending a takedown notice

To submit a DMCA notice, email [email protected] with the following:

1. Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed — title, registration details where applicable, a link to the original.
3. The URL on thedigitalwise.com where the allegedly infringing material appears.
4. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on their behalf.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that miss any of these elements may delay our response. We act on properly formatted notices promptly — usually within two working days.

What happens after we receive it

We review the notice for completeness and good faith. If the content clearly infringes, we remove or disable access to it and notify the user or contributor who posted it. Where the matter is borderline — fair-use commentary, news reporting, criticism — we may seek additional information before acting.

Counter-notice

If your content has been removed and you believe the takedown was wrong (for example, the material is fair use or you are the copyright owner), you can submit a counter-notice to [email protected] with:

1. Your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it previously appeared.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you are located (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district where this site operates).
5. A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the access of users and contributors who are determined to be repeat infringers under applicable circumstances.

Bad-faith notices

Filing a knowingly false DMCA notice exposes you to liability for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. We treat clearly false or harassing notices accordingly and may publish a brief, anonymised report on them.

Other rights claims

For trademark, publicity-rights, or defamation concerns, please use [email protected] rather than the DMCA address. For privacy / data-protection requests, see our Privacy Policy.
