Online image sharing is a powerful tool—but it also comes with the responsibility to protect original creators’ rights. At AR Host, we’re committed to respecting copyright laws and handling DMCA takedown requests quickly and fairly.
If you’re wondering how AR Host manages content that might infringe on copyrights, or if you’re a creator whose work was uploaded without permission, this guide is for you 👇
📜 What Is a DMCA Takedown?
The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a U.S. law that protects copyright holders by allowing them to request the removal of unauthorized content.
On AR Host, anyone can submit a DMCA request if they believe their copyrighted work has been uploaded without consent.
⚖️ AR Host’s DMCA Policy: Quick & Fair
At AR Host, we take all copyright claims seriously and aim to resolve them within 24–48 hours.
Here’s what we do when a takedown request is submitted:
1️⃣ Review the claim for validity
2️⃣ Temporarily disable access to the reported image
3️⃣ Notify the uploader via email (if registered)
4️⃣ Provide a way to counter the claim (if applicable)
5️⃣ Permanently remove the image if the claim is confirmed
💡 Note: We comply with DMCA even if the image was uploaded by a guest user.
