DMCA & Takedown Policy
Last updated: 2026-10-01
Important context
Nabby does not host, store, index, cache, or serve third-party content. It is a stateless pass-through tool: when a user submits a URL, the server fetches the media from the source site, delivers it to the user, and discards it shortly after. We retain no copy for public distribution.
Because of this, most DMCA concerns are more appropriately directed at the source site hosting the material. That said, if you believe this service is being used in a way that infringes your rights, contact us using the process below.
How to send a notice
Send a written notice via email to:
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, including enough information for us to locate it (e.g. the specific URL being passed through our service, timestamp, source).
- Your contact information: full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Incomplete notices may be rejected.
What we will do
- Review the notice promptly.
- If the complaint is actionable (e.g. a specific source URL or user is identifiable), we may block that URL, source domain, or user from using the service.
- We may forward your notice to the alleged infringer.
- Repeat infringers will be blocked permanently.
Counter-notice
If you believe your use was removed or blocked in error, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. Include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed 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.
Bad-faith notices
Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages. Don't send bogus takedowns.
Non-US jurisdictions
If you are outside the US and your takedown is based on local law (e.g. EU Copyright Directive, UK CDPA, GDPR right to erasure), use the same email and clearly state the legal basis.
