ParentFilter

Copyright / DMCA

ParentFilter hosts no film, no clip, no still and no subtitle. A parent guide contains a film's title and release year, numbers families entered on a 0–3 scale, and nothing else. The ParentFilter apps never copy or alter any media file; they skip, mute or blur during playback of a copy the family already has lawful access to.

If you nevertheless believe material on this site infringes your copyright, here is how to reach us and what happens next.

Designated agent

To be completed before launch: designated agent's legal name, organisation, full postal address and telephone number, matching the registration filed with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Notices by email: dmca@parentfilter.app.

Sending a notice

To be effective, a notice must be a written communication that includes all six of the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — for a parent guide, the full page address.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to let us contact you: address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized 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 authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). Please consider whether the material is fair use before sending a notice.

What we do

We act on a complete notice within one business day: the page is taken down or the specific material is removed. A withdrawn page returns a "gone" response, is dropped from our sitemap, and its address is never reused for another film.

We tell the family whose submission was affected what happened and give them this page's counter-notice route.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) to the address above, containing: your signature; identification of the material and where it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, for any district in which we may be found) and consent to accept service from the person who sent the original notice.

We forward a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days.

Repeat infringers

Accounts that are the subject of repeated valid infringement notices are terminated. We keep a record of every notice and every account it concerned, and we apply this policy in fact and not only on paper.
