DMCA & Copyright Policy

This DMCA & Copyright Policy explains how Creensight Private Limited (CIN U74999GJ2020PTC114611), a private company incorporated in India in 2020 and registered with the Registrar of Companies, Gujarat, with its registered office in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. creensight.uk/ is the website of the UK office of Creensight Private Limited in London, United Kingdom (“Creensight UK”, “Creensight”, “we”, “us” or “our”). The UK office is not a separately incorporated UK company; it is part of Creensight Private Limited. Our global website is creensight.com, handles complaints about content on creensight.uk/ that may infringe copyright or other intellectual property rights. We respect the rights of creators and expect everyone who supplies content to us to do the same.

Our procedure follows the notice-and-takedown model of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512), which many rights holders use internationally, and it also reflects UK law, including the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA). You may use this procedure whether or not you are based in the United States.

1. What this policy covers

This policy applies to content published on creensight.uk/, including:

• text, articles and guides;
• photographs, illustrations and other images;
• downloadable materials, code samples and embedded media;
• content submitted to us by clients, partners or other third parties and published on the website.

It does not cover our global website creensight.com, which has its own policy, or websites we build and host for clients. For client websites, please contact the website owner first; if we host the site, we will forward your notice to the client and cooperate as required by law and our contract with them.

2. Copyright in the UK

Under the CDPA, copyright protects original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works (including photographs and software), sound recordings, films, broadcasts and the typographical arrangement of published editions. Copyright arises automatically; there is no registration system in the UK. The copyright owner has the exclusive right to copy the work, issue copies to the public and communicate it to the public, including online, subject to exceptions such as quotation, criticism and review, and news reporting.

We take the CDPA into account when we assess notices, including whether a use falls within a permitted exception.

3. How we source content

We write our own articles and website copy. Most photographs on creensight.uk/ come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under open licences such as CC0, public domain, CC BY and CC BY-SA. We credit authors, sources and licences on our Image Credits page. Where a licence requires it, our adapted versions (for example, resized images) are shared under the same licence. We do not use images from stock libraries whose licences we have not reviewed.

Even with this care, mistakes can happen, for example if an image was uploaded to a public repository by someone who did not own it. If you believe that has happened, please tell us.

4. How to submit a copyright notice

Send your notice to our Designated Copyright Agent by email to [email protected] with the subject line “Copyright notice”. To help us act quickly, your notice should include all of the following (the elements required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)):

1. your physical or electronic signature, as the owner or as a person authorised to act on the owner’s behalf;
2. identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or a representative list if several works are involved;
3. identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it, ideally the exact URL(s) on creensight.uk/;
4. your contact details: name, address, telephone number and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, 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 owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.

For notices relating to other intellectual property rights, such as trade marks or design rights, please include equivalent information and explain the right you rely on.

5. What happens after we receive a notice

If a notice is incomplete, we will ask for the missing information. We may decline to act on notices that are clearly unfounded.

6. Counter-notices

If material you supplied was removed and you believe this was a mistake or misidentification, or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to [email protected] with the subject “Copyright counter-notice”. It should include:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that was removed and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or their agent.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to the person who submitted the original notice. Where the US DMCA procedure applies, we may restore the material 10 to 14 working days after receiving the counter-notice unless the complainant tells us they have started court proceedings. For disputes under UK law, we may keep the material offline until the parties have resolved the matter, and we encourage both sides to seek independent legal advice.

7. Misrepresentation

Please make sure your notice or counter-notice is accurate. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Under UK law, unjustified threats and false statements may also give rise to liability. If you are unsure whether your rights are infringed, consider taking legal advice before sending a notice.

8. Repeat infringers

Where we allow third parties to contribute content, such as guest articles or partner materials, we will stop publishing content from anyone who is repeatedly the subject of valid infringement notices.

9. Attribution corrections

Many issues with openly licensed images can be resolved by correcting the credit, for example the author’s name, the licence version or the link to the source. If you are the author of an image we use and the attribution is wrong or incomplete, please email us with the correct details and we will update it promptly, usually within 5 working days.

10. Using our content

Text, layout and original materials on creensight.uk/ belong to Creensight Private Limited or its licensors. You may quote short extracts with attribution and a link. For any other use, please ask for permission at [email protected]. Openly licensed images remain subject to their original licences, which you can find on our Image Credits page.

11. Trade marks and other rights

If you believe content on creensight.uk/ infringes your registered or unregistered trade mark, misuses your brand, or infringes database rights or design rights, please contact us using the same address. Explain the right you hold (for example, a UK trade mark registration number from the Intellectual Property Office), the content concerned and why you believe it infringes. We review these complaints in the same way and will respond within the timescales above.

12. Personal data in notices

Notices and counter-notices contain personal data, such as names and contact details. We use this information only to handle the complaint, keep records of how it was resolved and, where the procedure requires, share it with the other party. We process it in line with our Privacy Policy and UK data protection law. We keep records of copyright complaints for up to 6 years in case of later legal claims.

13. Frequently asked questions

Do I need a lawyer to send a notice?

No. You can send a notice yourself, as long as it contains the information listed in section 4. Legal advice can be useful if the situation is complex.

Will you tell the person who supplied the content who I am?

Where a third party supplied the content, we usually forward the notice so they can respond. We may redact personal contact details where they are not needed for the other party to respond.

Can I ask you to credit my photo instead of removing it?

Yes. If you are happy for us to keep using an openly licensed image with corrected attribution, tell us how you would like to be credited.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date shows the current version.
