Copyright & DMCA

Effective date: September 1, 2026  ·  Kurio, Inc.

Footprint respects intellectual property and expects its users to do the same. You may only upload or share content you have the rights to. We respond to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), and we terminate repeat infringers.

How to report claimed infringement (takedown notice)

To be valid, your written notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed.
3. Identification of the infringing material and enough information for us to locate it (e.g., the account, footprint, or link).
4. Your contact information (name, address, email, phone).
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Incomplete notices may not be actionable; we may ask you to supply what's missing.

What we do when we receive a valid notice

We will expeditiously remove or disable access to the material and notify the user who posted it, including a copy of the notice and information about how to submit a counter-notification.

Counter-notification

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the Copyright Agent. It must include:

1. Your signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and where it appeared.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and phone, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the U.S., the district where we are located), and that you will accept service from the complainant.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the person who sent the original notice. If they do not file a court action seeking to restrain the activity within 10–14 business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing (or was wrongly removed) may be liable for damages. Please don't send abusive or bad-faith notices.

Trademark and other intellectual property

This process is for copyright. For trademark or other intellectual-property concerns, contact hello@footprintapp.co. Different rules apply, and there is no DMCA-style safe harbor for trademark.

Users outside the United States

The DMCA is U.S. law. Where we serve users in other regions, we handle valid copyright complaints through the equivalent notice-and-action process required by applicable law.
