At Picmaze, we respect the intellectual property rights of creators, photographers, illustrators, and digital artists worldwide. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and international copyright legislation, we respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement on our website (picmaze.com) or within our Android & iOS Mobile Applications.
01. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you are a copyright owner or authorized legal representative and believe that any wallpaper, visual asset, live artwork, or media slug hosted on our servers infringes your copyright, you may submit a formal written notice. To be legally compliant, your complaint must include:
1. Authorized Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of Copyrighted Work: Clear description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, including original registration numbers or reference links to the authentic work.
3. Specific URL & File Locations: Precise identification of the infringing material on Picmaze, including exact web URL links or mobile asset slugs so our digital asset team can locate and disable the file immediately across our US servers and Cloudflare CDN nodes.
4. Contact Information: Your full legal name, company/creator name, physical address, telephone number, and official email address.
5. Good Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
6. Statement Under Penalty of Perjury: A statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
02. Creative & Artist Collaboration
Our Philosophy: Picmaze is designed to celebrate and elevate digital artists. If you are a creator whose artwork is popular on our platform, we prefer dialogue over litigation. We are highly open to discussing official creator profile verification, commercial licensing, or dynamic payout partnerships. Let's discuss working together before filing formal takedown notices!
03. Standard Takedown & Purge Pipeline
Once a complete DMCA notice is received by our legal agent, we execute a structured removal pipeline across our global infrastructure:
| Stage | Timeline | Action Executed |
|---|
| Notice Receipt | Instant | We acknowledge receipt of your complaint and verify all legally required fields are present. |
| Verification & Locate | 24 Hours | Our digital asset team locates the target asset slug in our US database and Cloudflare cache. |
| Removal & CDN Purge | 24–48 Hours | The file is permanently deleted from US database servers and purged globally from Cloudflare edge networks, and the uploader is notified. |
04. Submitting a Counter-Notice
If your content was removed due to a copyright notice and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification. Your counter-notice must contain:
- Your full name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the URL location it occupied before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where your address is located (or US jurisdiction for international users).
- Your physical or electronic signature.
05. Repeat Infringer Termination Policy
Zero Tolerance: In compliance with DMCA guidelines and app store policies, Picmaze maintains a strict repeat infringer policy. Any user, creator, or contributor account that repeatedly uploads protected content without authorization will have their account, API access keys, and coin wallets permanently terminated.

07. Automated Visual Reverse Fingerprinting & Asset Verification
Anti-Piracy Enforcement: Picmaze utilizes cloud-based digital protection markers and perceptual structure fingerprinting to catalog and protect original media assets. Our legal division actively monitors unauthorized re-distribution and automated scraping. If your copyrighted artwork has been re-uploaded to third-party platforms without authorization, our legal team uses automated reverse verification tools to assist rightful creators with expedited global DMCA takedowns.
