Content Reporting and Removal Policy

2. How to Submit a Report

You may submit any report through our Help Center or by emailing [email protected].

Please include:

1. Your name and contact information.
2. Identification of the reported content and information sufficient to locate it.
3. A description of the alleged violation and any relevant supporting information.
4. If applicable, confirmation that you are authorized to act on behalf of the affected person or rights holder.

Additional requirements for copyright notices and nonconsensual intimate imagery removal requests are set out below.

3. Copyright Infringement 

If you believe that content available through our Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a notice under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").

A valid DMCA notice must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed.
3. Identification of the infringing content and information sufficient to locate it.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Counter-Notifications

If your content was removed following a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake, you may submit a counter-notification containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the removed content and its previous location.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. Federal District Court, and agreement to accept service of process from the complainant or its agent.

We will process valid notices and counter-notifications in accordance with the DMCA, including restoration of content within 10–14 business days where required, unless the complainant notifies us of a qualifying court action.

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat copyright infringers.

4. Nonconsensual Intimate Imagery (TAKE IT DOWN Act)

We do not tolerate nonconsensual intimate imagery, including qualifying AI-generated or digitally altered depictions of identifiable individuals.

If an intimate image or video depicting you was published through our Services without your consent, you or an authorized representative may request its removal using either reporting channel in Section 2.

A valid removal request under the TAKE IT DOWN Act must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, or that of your authorized representative.
2. Identification of the imagery and information sufficient to locate it.
3. A brief statement of your good faith belief that the imagery was published without your consent, including relevant supporting information.
4. Contact information for you or your authorized representative.

Where the TAKE IT DOWN Act applies, upon receiving a valid request, we will remove the reported imagery as soon as possible and within 48 hours, and make reasonable efforts to identify and remove known identical copies within the same timeframe.

We will handle such requests with appropriate sensitivity and privacy protections.

5. Other Rights Violations

Reports concerning trademarks, privacy, publicity, likeness, voice, or other legal rights will be reviewed based on the information provided. We may request additional information and take appropriate action in accordance with applicable law.

6. Review and Enforcement

We may use automated systems and human review to assess reports and may remove or restrict content, suspend or terminate accounts, or take other appropriate measures, with or without prior notice, subject to applicable law.

We may notify affected users and share relevant information where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

If you believe that content was incorrectly removed or restricted, you may request a review through either reporting channel in Section 2. DMCA counter-notifications are subject to the specific procedures in Section 3.

7. General Provisions

Reports must be submitted in good faith. Knowingly false or misleading reports may result in appropriate action or legal liability.

Our ability to remove content is generally limited to content within our control and may not extend to copies independently distributed through third-party services.

Nothing in this Policy limits Artlist's rights or remedies under applicable law or modifies mandatory legal notice and removal requirements.
