Terms, privacy and status

Section 01

Status of this organisation

Internet Enforcement is a privately owned and operated commercial service. It is not a government agency, ministry, court, tribunal, regulator, police force, public registry, or any other body exercising public authority. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any government or intergovernmental organisation.

Internet Enforcement holds no statutory powers. It cannot compel any person or company to act, impose penalties or fines, seize property or domains, or make binding legal determinations. It works exclusively through mechanisms that are open to any rights holder: platform reporting systems, host and registrar policies, and statutory notice regimes.

Section 02

No legal advice

The content of this website, including the resources pages, is general information published for reference. It is not legal advice, it is not tailored to any specific situation, and it must not be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer. Using this website, submitting a report, or corresponding with us does not create a lawyer–client relationship.

Intellectual property law differs substantially between jurisdictions, and outcomes depend on facts we may not have. Where your situation requires legal advice, we will say so and refer you to counsel.

Section 03

Terms of use

Accuracy of submissions

By submitting a report you confirm that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you are the rights holder or an authorised representative. Knowingly submitting false information may expose you to liability under the law of your jurisdiction, including misrepresentation provisions such as section 512(f) of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Assessment and acceptance

Submitting a report does not create an engagement. We assess each submission and will confirm in writing whether we are able to act, on what terms, and at what cost. We may decline any matter, including where we consider the claim unsound or the intended use of the process improper.

Authorisation

Where we act on your behalf, we do so under written authorisation limited to the scope agreed. You may withdraw that authorisation at any time. You retain ownership of your work and of the case file throughout.

No guaranteed outcome

Removal depends on decisions made by third parties — platforms, hosts, registrars and, ultimately, courts. We commit to the standard of work described on this site. We do not guarantee any particular result.

Site content

The text, design, marks and materials on this website are the property of Internet Enforcement and may not be reproduced without permission. You may quote short passages with attribution.

Section 04

Privacy

What we collect

Details you submit through the report or contact forms: your name, organisation, email address, country, and the substance of your submission, including any evidence and ownership documents you provide. We also collect standard server logs and, where analytics are enabled, aggregate usage data.

Why we hold it

To assess your submission, to act on your instruction where you engage us, and to maintain a case record. We do not sell personal data and we do not share it with third parties except as necessary to pursue your matter — for example, a notice served on a platform will identify the complaining party, as those procedures require.

How long we hold it

Case records are retained for as long as the matter is active and for a defined period afterwards, so that recurring infringement can be evidenced. Enquiries that do not become cases are deleted on request.

Your rights over it

You may request access to the personal data we hold about you, ask for correction of inaccuracies, or request deletion where we are not required to retain it. Write to the privacy address below.

Cookies

This site uses only what is necessary to serve pages and, where enabled, aggregate analytics. It does not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Section 05

If you received a notice from us

You are entitled to respond. Write to legal@internet-enforcement.net, quoting the reference number shown on the notice. If you hold a licence, believe an exception applies, or believe the notice was served in error, send what you have. Claims are withdrawn in writing where the response establishes that we were wrong.

You may also use the counter-notice procedure operated by the platform or host that received the notice, independently of us.
