PintSave DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Statement of Principle & Commitment to Copyright Protection

At PintSave (accessible from https://pintsave.app), we deeply respect the intellectual property rights of visual artists, content creators, photographers, and copyright holders. It is our strict policy to respond expeditiously to clear, valid notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512) ("DMCA").

This DMCA Copyright Policy outlines the procedures for copyright owners to submit formal takedown notices, explains how our technical blocklisting systems process valid claims, and describes the counter-notification process available under applicable federal laws.

2. Technical Architecture Notice (Non-Storage Media Proxy)

To understand how PintSave processes media, copyright owners should note our technical operational architecture:

Because PintSave does not store physical copies of media on its databases, our primary mechanism for resolving valid DMCA claims is by blocklisting the requested pin URLs or domain endpoints from being processed by our extraction engine.

3. Requirements for Submitting a Valid DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an authorized representative acting on behalf of a copyright holder, and you believe that content accessible via PintSave infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a formal written DMCA Notification to our Designated DMCA Agent.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your DMCA Takedown Notice MUST include the following statutory requirements:

5. Processing Timeframes & URL Blocklisting Protocol

Upon receipt of a valid, complete DMCA Takedown Notice complying with all statutory requirements, PintSave will take the following swift actions:

• Review the notice within 24 to 48 hours to confirm legal completeness.
• Add the reported Pinterest pin URL(s) to our automated internal blocklist, disabling further parsing or media link generation for those specific assets through PintSave.
• Inform the reporting party once the URL extraction route has been successfully disabled.

6. Counter-Notification Procedure (17 U.S.C. § 512(g))

If a URL extraction route was disabled or blocklisted due to a DMCA Takedown Notice, and you believe this action was taken as a result of mistake, misidentification, or fair use, you may submit a written Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a valid Counter-Notification MUST include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the URL or material that was disabled and the location where it appeared prior to removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy & Automated Abuser Bans

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), PintSave maintains a strict policy of terminating or blocklisting access for users or IP addresses determined to be repeat infringers or automated abusers who repeatedly attempt to extract copyrighted material without legal authorization.

8. Misrepresentation & Penalties under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)

Legal Warning: Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be subject to severe legal liability and financial damages (including court costs and attorney fees) incurred by the alleged infringer or service provider.
