DMCA and Copyright Protection

## Protecting Your Content from Theft Content theft is a real concern for creators, and FANZA takes it seriously. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and have processes in place to help you protect your work. **If your content is being shared without permission:** You can file a DMCA takedown request by visiting our [DMCA page](/dmca). You'll need to provide: - Your contact information - A description of the copyrighted content - The URL or location where the unauthorized content appears - A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized Our team reviews DMCA requests and processes them within 24-48 hours. Once confirmed, the infringing content is removed and the offending account is flagged. Repeat infringers are permanently banned from the platform. **If you receive a DMCA notice against your content:** If someone files a DMCA claim against content you've posted, the content will be taken down pending review. You'll be notified with details about the claim. If you believe the claim is incorrect — for example, you own the content or have a valid license to use it — you can file a counter-notice disputing the claim. The counter-notice process is explained in the notification you'll receive. **Proactive protection:** While FANZA can act on reported infringement, prevention is important too. Here are some things you can do: - Watermark your content with your username or brand name - Avoid sharing original, unwatermarked high-resolution files - Regularly search for your content on other platforms - Report any unauthorized use immediately We're committed to making FANZA a safe place for creators to share their work without fear of theft.
