Takedown Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Hyperlific publishes editorial content, reviews, criticism, and curated commerce. We respect intellectual property, privacy, and the right to be heard. This policy explains how to request that we review content on hyperlific.com, what we will and won’t consider removing, and how the process works.

What we may consider removing

Copyright infringement. If you believe we have published material that infringes your copyright, you can submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). See the DMCA section below for the required information.

Trademark infringement. If you believe we have used a trademark in a way that creates consumer confusion or misrepresents your brand, you can let us know. Editorial use of trademarks to identify products and brands we cover is generally protected, and we will assess specific concerns on the merits.

Privacy concerns. If we have published private information about you that you believe has no legitimate news or editorial value — such as a home address, personal phone number, financial details, or medical information — we will review the request. Public figures generally have a narrower expectation of privacy in their public roles.

Image and likeness. If we have used a photograph that you have rights over and we don’t have permission to use, contact us with proof of ownership.

Factual inaccuracies. Factual error claims are handled through our Corrections Policy. In cases where we determine an inaccuracy warrants it, we may temporarily unpublish content while we review.

Credible safety concerns. If you believe specific content puts someone at credible risk of harm — for example, doxxing, stalking facilitation, or content that endangers a minor — we will review the matter promptly.

What we don’t remove

We don’t unpublish articles in response to dissatisfaction with fair criticism, honest reviews, or editorial opinions. Hyperlific’s editorial work depends on the freedom to write honestly about culture, products, and the people who make them. Disagreement is not grounds for removal.

We don’t remove accurate reporting because it is inconvenient or embarrassing. Where coverage was a matter of legitimate editorial interest at the time of publication, it generally stays on the record.

We don’t accept anonymous removal requests. We need to know who is asking and what their relationship to the content is.

We don’t honor blanket requests to be “forgotten” from accurate historical coverage. Where we wrote about a public event you participated in, the article generally stays as a record of that event.

How to submit a request

Email [email protected] with:

• The URL of the content
• The specific content at issue (a paragraph, an image, the entire article)
• The basis for the request — copyright, privacy, factual error, safety, etc.
• Your identity and relationship to the content (the subject of the piece, the rights holder, an authorized representative)
• Supporting evidence where applicable: proof of copyright ownership, evidence the information is private and was published without consent, documentation of factual error, etc.
• Contact information we can use to follow up

We aim to acknowledge requests promptly. Urgent safety concerns receive priority — please flag them as urgent in the subject line.

DMCA notices

To submit a formal copyright takedown notice under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the material on hyperlific.com that you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (full URLs)
• Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Send DMCA notices to [email protected] with “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.

Submitting a knowingly false DMCA notice may result in liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are uncertain whether your claim is valid, we recommend consulting an attorney before submitting.

Counter-notices

If we remove content in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was based on mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Email [email protected] with “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject line.

Repeat infringers

Hyperlific will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the access of users or contributors who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

How we handle requests

Requests received through these channels are reviewed on the merits. Depending on the nature of a request, we may, at our sole discretion:

• Remove the content
• Edit the content to address the specific concern while preserving the article
• Add a correction or clarification note
• Temporarily unpublish content while reviewing
• Decline the request

Where appropriate, we may explain the basis for our decision. Nothing in this policy obligates us to take any particular action in any particular case.

Questions about this policy can be directed to [email protected].

This policy describes Hyperlific’s general approach to content review requests. It does not create a contract, a guarantee of any particular outcome, or any legal obligation to act in a specific case. Hyperlific reserves the right to update or revise this policy at any time, and the current version is the version posted on hyperlific.com. Nothing in this policy waives any rights or defenses available to Hyperlific under applicable law.
