At APKTRENDS.COM, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and comply fully with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims and the steps you can take if you believe your copyrighted material has been posted on our site without your authorization.
We are committed to working with copyright owners to ensure that any content hosted or linked on our platform that infringes copyright laws is removed promptly and efficiently.
What Is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is a U.S. copyright law that provides guidelines for online service providers (like APKTRENDS.COM) in dealing with claims of copyright infringement. Under the DMCA, website owners are protected from liability if they respond quickly to valid takedown notices and remove infringing material.
Content Ownership and Responsibility
APKTRENDS.COM does not claim ownership over any third-party APK files, apps, or content shared on the website. All trademarks, logos, and APK files belong to their respective developers or owners. Our goal is to make free apps more accessible to users by sharing publicly available APKs, freeware, open-source apps, or apps legally allowed for redistribution.
We do not support or promote piracy. If you are the rightful owner of any content featured on our platform and believe it is being used without your permission, you are encouraged to submit a DMCA takedown notice.
Submitting a DMCA Takedown Request
If you are a copyright holder (or authorized to act on behalf of one), and you believe that your copyrighted work has been posted or linked on APKTRENDS.COM without permission, please email us at:
Email: apktrends.com@gmail.com
Subject Line: DMCA Takedown Notice
Your DMCA notice must include the following:
- Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. Please be as specific as possible (e.g., app name, version, developer name).
- The exact URL(s) on APKTRENDS.COM where the infringing material is located.
- Your full name, company name (if applicable), email address, and phone number.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information you provide is accurate and truthful, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
- Your electronic or physical signature (typed full name is acceptable).
Once we receive a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will take the following actions:
- Review the claim to ensure it meets DMCA standards.
- Temporarily or permanently remove the content or disable access.
- Notify the user or uploader (if applicable) of the removal.
- Provide an opportunity for the uploader to submit a counter-notice, if they believe the removal was in error.
Submitting a Counter-Notice
If you believe that your content was removed in error, or that you have the right to use the material (e.g., under a license or fair use), you may file a counter-notice with us.
Your counter-notice must include:
- Your name, address, and email.
- The URL(s) where the content was located before it was removed.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was mistakenly removed.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the local federal court (if in the U.S.) or your local legal authority, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice.
- Your signature (electronic or physical).
We will forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. If they do not take legal action within 14 business days, we may restore the removed content at our discretion.
Repeat Infringer Policy
APKTRENDS.COM reserves the right to terminate the accounts or access of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Multiple DMCA violations may result in a permanent ban from our platform, even without prior warning.
