Copyright and Takedown

What a user imports stays in that user's own account. Other users cannot see it unless the owner shares it. The operator can view an account's data for support and for handling abuse reports. It becomes visible to other users only when the user shares a lesson or a collection with people they name, and only those people, signed in with the email the user named, can open it.

If you believe material on DigMyGem infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the address below. To be valid under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), the notice must contain:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or of a person authorised to act for the owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers several works.
3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to find it. For shared material, give the share link.
4. Your contact information: postal address, telephone number and email address.
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. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act for the copyright owner.

Someone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).

Write to hello@digmygem.com and say in the subject that it is a copyright notice.

A person handles each notice; nothing is removed automatically. If the notice is valid, the operator may remove or disable the material it identifies. A shared lesson or collection is disabled by hand, which stops its share link working for the people it was shared with. The operator may pass the notice, including your contact details, on to the person whose material it concerns.

If material you shared was disabled by mistake or because it was misidentified, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It must contain:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was disabled and where it was before it was disabled.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was disabled by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, postal address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where your address is (or, if it is outside the United States, any district where we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice.

On a valid counter-notice (17 U.S.C. 512(g)), the operator forwards a copy to the person who sent the notice. The operator may restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless that person notifies the operator within that time that they have filed a court action against the user. A person handles each counter-notice.

We may suspend the account of a user who we find has repeatedly infringed copyright. A person decides this case by case; no count of notices triggers it automatically.
