Safety, Copyright & Abuse Reporting

Effective date: September 23, 2026

This page explains how any person—including someone without a CinemaDrop account—can report content or conduct involving the Services. It also describes our copyright notice, counter-notice, and repeat-infringer procedures. These procedures supplement our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

1. Prohibited Content and Conduct

Do not use the Services to create, upload, publish, request, or distribute content that:

• sexually exploits, endangers, or sexualizes a minor, or constitutes child sexual abuse material;
• contains or solicits nonconsensual intimate imagery, sexual extortion, or intimate digital forgeries;
• infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights;
• uses another person’s voice, face, likeness, or identity without required permission, including for fraud, harassment, deceptive endorsement, or impersonation;
• threatens, harasses, doxes, stalks, defrauds, or facilitates violence or unlawful discrimination;
• deceptively portrays a real person, public event, election, or public process through synthetic or manipulated media;
• contains malware, phishing, spam, unauthorized personal information, or instructions designed to defeat security or safety controls; or
• otherwise violates law, our Terms of Use, or another person’s rights.

2. How to Report Abuse or Other Rights Violations

Email legal@cinemadrop.com with the subject “Safety or Abuse Report.” Include, when available:

• the exact CinemaDrop URL, public profile, asset identifier, username, or other information that lets us locate the material;
• the type of issue and a concise explanation of why the material violates law, our policies, or your rights;
• your name, email address, relationship to the affected person, and whether you are authorized to act for someone else;
• any non-sensitive supporting context, such as a screenshot of the surrounding page or evidence of authorization; and
• the action you are requesting.

Do not send passwords, full payment-card details, government identification unless requested through a secure method, or copies of illegal or intimate imagery. A URL is usually sufficient to begin a review. Copyright notices should follow Section 4 below.

3. What Happens After a Report

We may request information needed to verify the report, locate the content, understand authority, or avoid removing lawful material. Depending on the circumstances, we may restrict access, remove or deindex content, preserve records, warn or suspend a user, terminate an account, notify a service provider, or refer a matter to law enforcement or another appropriate organization. We may also notify the affected user and provide enough information to permit a response or appeal, unless prohibited by law or unsafe.

We evaluate reports in context and do not guarantee a particular outcome. Submitting duplicate, knowingly false, fraudulent, or abusive reports may delay review and may violate law or our Terms. If you disagree with a decision, reply to the decision email with the subject “Safety Appeal” and explain the relevant error or new information.

4. DMCA Copyright Notices

If you believe material accessible through the Services infringes a U.S. copyright that you own or are authorized to enforce, send a written notice to our designated agent. A valid notice should include all of the following:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if one notice covers multiple works at one online site;
3. identification and location of the allegedly infringing material with enough detail for us to find it, preferably each exact URL;
4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Registered DMCA designated agent:

Please send DMCA notices only to the designated agent. You may also review the U.S. Copyright Office’s Section 512 guidance. We may forward your notice, including contact information, to the person who posted the material or to a transparency service. Knowingly materially misrepresenting infringement may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

5. DMCA Counter-Notices

If your material was removed or disabled because of a DMCA notice and you believe that happened because of mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a counter-notice containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the removed or disabled material and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address, and telephone number;
5. a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address—or, if your address is outside the United States, any federal district where CinemaDrop may be found—and accepting service of process from the original claimant or that person’s agent; and
6. an email address at which we can contact you.

We may send the counter-notice to the original claimant. Unless the claimant tells us that a court action was filed to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days after forwarding a valid counter-notice, or later at our discretion. A counter-notice is a legal statement; consider consulting a lawyer before submitting one.

6. Repeat Infringers and Other Remedies

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, account holders who are repeat copyright infringers. We may consider valid notices and counter-notices, retractions, court decisions, repeat conduct, and other relevant circumstances. We may also remove or restrict content that does not qualify for DMCA safe-harbor procedures when it violates our Terms or applicable law.

7. Privacy and Contact

We use report information to investigate, communicate about, document, and resolve the matter; enforce our policies; protect people and the Services; and comply with law. We may preserve reports and related evidence for legal, safety, fraud-prevention, and dispute purposes. See our Privacy Policy for more information.
