Takedown notice

This channel is meant for rights holders who need content taken down quickly. You don't need to draft a formal document: as long as your email includes the elements listed below, we can process it.

What your notice must include

• The affected work or material (title, author, or any reference that allows us to identify it).
• The exact URL on doculuma.com (you can copy it from the document's page).
• Your relationship to the rights: owner, representative or authorised agent.
• Contact details for our response (name and email address at minimum).
• A good-faith statement that the reported use is not authorised.
• Your signature (electronic is fine).

Where to send it

Email [email protected] with the subject line "Takedown request". Alternatively, every document page has a "Report an issue" link that starts the same process.

What happens next

• Acknowledgement: within 48 business hours.
• Resolution and, where warranted, removal of the preview and blocking of access: within 72 hours.
• An email response with the outcome and, where applicable, the actions taken.

Notices we cannot process

We cannot act on notices without a specific URL, or blanket requests ("remove everything by this author"): we need to identify each document individually so that we don't remove legitimately licensed material.
