Copyright and DMCA

Last updated: September 23, 2026

TinyCld hosts files, mail and documents that our customers upload. We do not review that content before it is stored, and we do not search it. If you believe material stored on TinyCld infringes your copyright, tell us and we will act on it.

Designated agent

Notices of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our designated agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

Email reaches us fastest. Post is checked far less often, and a notice sent only by post will take longer to action.

What a notice must contain

So that we can act on your notice, and so that it is effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), it needs to include all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorised to act for them.
Identification of the work you say has been infringed. If several works on one site are covered, a representative list is enough.
Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it. A direct link is the most useful thing you can give us.
Your name, 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 that the information in your notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or authorised to act for them.

A notice missing these elements may not be effective, and we may come back to you for the missing part before acting.

What we do when we receive one

We remove or disable access to the material promptly, and tell the customer who stored it what was removed and why. We do not delete their account or their other data in response to a single notice.

Counter-notices

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include your signature, identification of the material and where it was before removal, 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 consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for that address.

We will forward a valid counter-notice to whoever sent the original notice. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of customers who repeatedly infringe copyright. This is not a formality: an account that accumulates upheld notices will be closed, and we keep a record of notices in order to identify one.

A notice is counted against an account when it is valid on its face and the material was removed. A notice we reject as incomplete, or one withdrawn or successfully answered by a counter-notice, is not counted. We weigh the number of notices, how far apart they are, and whether the customer changed anything after the first, so somebody who fixes the problem is not treated the same as somebody who does not.

Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages. Please be sure before you send a notice, and consider whether the use might be fair use.

Self-hosted TinyCld

TinyCld is also open-source software that people run on their own servers. If the content you are concerned about is on a server we do not operate, we cannot remove it — we have no access to it and no copy of it. Contact whoever operates that server or its hosting provider. This page and the agent above cover tinycld.com only.
