Report Content

Use this page to tell us about content on the Service that you believe:

• infringes copyright, trademark, design rights, or other intellectual property;
• uses your image, name, or likeness without your permission;
• impersonates a real person or organisation;
• is illegal, including material that exploits or endangers minors;
• is non-consensual intimate imagery;
• is fraudulent, deceptive, or otherwise breaches our Terms of Service.

Anyone may submit a report — you do not need an account.

Put “Content report” in the subject line.

This address is also our single point of contact for the authorities of the Member States, the European Commission, and the European Board for Digital Services under articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. Communications may be sent in English or French.

If you own intellectual property rights and believe they are being infringed, send a notice to our designated agent containing all six of the following. A notice missing any of them may be invalid.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the rights holder, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the work or mark you say is infringed. Where several works are involved, a representative list is sufficient.
3. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a URL, a generation ID, an account identifier, or a screenshot.
4. Your contact details: name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf.

Sending a notice you know to be materially false can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are unsure whether a use is infringing — fair use, for example — take advice before filing.

If you are in the European Union, you may notify us of content you consider illegal under article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065. Please include:

1. a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why you consider the content illegal;
2. a clear indication of where it is — URL, generation ID, or account identifier;
3. your name and email address, unless the report concerns an offence under articles 3 to 7 of Directive 2011/93/EU, in which case you may report anonymously;
4. a statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information in the notice is accurate and complete.

What happens next. We send you a confirmation of receipt without undue delay. We assess the notice diligently, in a non-arbitrary and objective manner, and we tell you our decision along with the reasons for it, and the redress available to you. Where a notice allows us to identify illegality without a detailed legal examination, we act expeditiously.

Depending on what we find, we may:

• take no action, where the report is unfounded;
• ask you or the account holder for more information;
• restrict visibility of the content, or remove it;
• restore content that was removed in error;
• suspend or terminate the account concerned;
• suspend processing of reports from a person who repeatedly sends manifestly unfounded notices, after a prior warning;
• preserve records where needed to comply with a legal obligation or to defend a claim;
• refer the matter to the competent authorities where the content appears to involve a criminal offence, in particular one that threatens the life or safety of a person.

We operate a repeat-infringer policy: accounts that are the subject of repeated substantiated notices are terminated.

We tell the account holder what happened and why, in a statement of reasons under article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, which sets out what was affected, the ground for the decision, whether automated means were used, and how to contest it.

Counter-notice (DMCA). If you believe your content was removed by mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to contact@shotinger.com with:

1. your signature, physical or electronic;
2. identification of the removed content and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the removal resulted from a mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address, and telephone number;
5. consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of your district if you are in the United States, or of the courts of France otherwise, and consent to accept service from the person who filed the notice.

We forward valid counter-notices to the original complainant. Where the DMCA applies, we may restore the content after 10 to 14 business days unless we are told that proceedings have been filed.

Internal review. Whatever the legal route, you may ask us to reconsider any moderation decision by writing to contact@shotinger.com within 6 months. Review is carried out by a person, not by automated means alone. We do not charge for it.

We process the personal data in your report to assess and act on it, on the basis of our legal obligations and our legitimate interest in keeping the Service lawful. We may share the substance of a notice, including your identity, with the account holder concerned, since they need it to exercise their right of reply. See our Privacy Policy.
