Copyright & DMCA
Last updated: September 2026
The photos, captions and comments on The Beer App are uploaded by the people who use it. If something infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act on it.
Reporting an infringement
Send a notice to support@thebeerapp.app with the subject line Copyright notice. To be actionable it needs:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the work you say has been infringed.
- Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail to find it — a link to the post, or the username and approximate date.
- Your address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
We act on complete notices expeditiously — in practice, the same day we read them.
Designated agent
Notices should be addressed to the designated agent of the operator of The Beer App at support@thebeerapp.app.
Counter-notice
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It needs your signature, identification of the material and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake, and your name, address and telephone number together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found). Where the law allows, we may restore the material after a waiting period unless the complainant tells us they have filed a court action.
Repeat infringers
Accounts that are the subject of repeated, valid copyright complaints are terminated. This is not discretionary and we do not require a court order to act on it.
Bad-faith notices
Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability under the law. We keep notices and counter-notices on file.
