DMCA / Copyright Policy

Last updated April 19, 2026 · Effective April 7, 2026

As of April 7, 2026, our DMCA copyright takedown procedure has been folded into the Terms of Service as section 15 ("Copyright and DMCA"). This page is kept for URL stability and so that copyright holders can quickly find our Designated Agent. The Designated Agent contact, the basics of filing a notice, and a link to the full procedure are below.

Designated Agent

UmbrellaX DMCA Agent. Email dmca@umbrellax.io (preferred — faster). Postal: UmbrellaX TOO, Attn: DMCA Agent, ul. Zheltoksan, d. 1/6, korpus 3, kv. 13, 090000 Uralsk, Kazakhstan. Legal entity: UmbrellaX TOO, BIN 260440006927.

Filing a takedown notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include the six required elements:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to permit us to locate it (a URL on umbrellax.io, the username of the account, the public key fingerprint, or the phone number associated with the account if one is attached).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party (full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email).
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner.

Send to dmca@umbrellax.io. We acknowledge complete notices within two business days and act on valid notices within seven days where the material is on a surface we control. Note on encryption: the content of private messages between users is end-to-end encrypted with MLS (Messaging Layer Security, IETF RFC 9420); we do not hold the keys and we cannot inspect message content even under legal process. For in-message infringement we cannot remove the specific message but we can and do act on the account itself under the repeat infringer policy.

Counter-notices and full procedure

The counter-notice procedure under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), the repeat infringer policy (two valid takedowns within 12 months → suspension, third → permanent termination), the warning about misuse under § 512(f), and the rest of the formal language are in Terms of Service section 15. For trademark disputes, publicity rights, defamation, or other non-copyright concerns, write to legal@umbrellax.io.
