DMCA Regulations & Our Copyright Policy

Purpose of this page

This explains how Scravio handles U.S. DMCA (17 U.S.C. §512) notices and counter-notices. It’s informational and not legal advice.

What Scravio is (and isn’t)

• Tool, not a publisher. Scravio is a user-directed B2B tool that helps locate and structure publicly available business contact fields from web pages that are accessible without login.
• We don’t host third-party creative content. We store pointers (source URLs) and extracted fields (e.g., a publicly listed work email), not the creative expression on those pages.
• No bypassing. We do not circumvent logins, paywalls, CAPTCHAs, or technical access controls and we apply reasonable rate limits.
• Copyright protects original expression, not facts. However, a compilation’s selection/arrangement can be protected. Our practice minimizes copying and we honor valid takedowns.

Our DMCA commitments

• Maintain a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office.
• Provide a clear path to submit DMCA notices and counter-notices.
• Act expeditiously on valid notices by removing or disabling access to the referenced material in our service (e.g., removing source pointers, suppressing re-collection, purging cached previews, and annotating exports).
• Forward valid counter-notices and, absent suit within the statutory period, restore access where appropriate.
• Enforce a repeat-infringer policy and accommodate standard technical measures as §512 requires.

How to send a DMCA notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice should substantially include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list).
• Identification of the material to be removed/disabled and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (e.g., the exact URL(s) surfaced via Scravio or the specific export/job ID).
• Your contact information (name, address, phone, and email).
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Where to send: [email protected] or mail to the Designated Agent above. Please keep a copy for your records.

What we do when we receive a proper notice

• Acknowledge receipt and assign a ticket ID.
• Disable access within Scravio to the identified material (e.g., remove the pointer from results, suppress future retrieval, purge any cached preview/metadata tied to the pointer).
• Notify the affected account and share the substance of the claim.
• Offer the opportunity to submit a counter-notice if they believe the claim is mistaken or misidentified.

Counter-notice (17 U.S.C. §512(g))

If your material was removed or disabled and you believe it was due to mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification that includes:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location before removal (e.g., job/export ID or pointer/URL).
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed/disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your address (or for New Castle County, Delaware, if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person’s agent.

Process: We will forward a valid counter-notice to the complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within the statutory period that they have filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore access to the material in Scravio.

Repeat-infringer policy & standard technical measures

• We terminate accounts of users who are deemed repeat infringers under a reasonable, good-faith, and consistent policy.
• We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures recognized under §512(i) that are used by copyright owners to identify or protect works.

Misrepresentation warning (§512(f))

Submitting knowing, material misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please make sure your submission is accurate.
