Editor’s Note
This article outlines our DMCA policy, including our practice of sharing redacted copyright notices with the nonprofit Lumen database for transparency.
We may also document notices of alleged infringement on which we act. We may forward the content in your notice to the nonprofit organization Lumen, which publishes these notices after removing certain personal information. You can see an example of such a publication here. For products like Google Web Search, we provide a link to the notice as published by Lumen in place of the removed content.
