DMCA & Copyright Policy

Effective: May 10, 2026  ·  Version 1.0

Loft Tools respects intellectual-property rights and expects users of the Service to do the same. This page explains how to report copyright infringement and how to challenge a takedown if you believe one was issued in error.

This policy is designed to comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, and to provide an accessible mechanism for notice-and-action under the EU Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), Article 16, and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.

1. The short version

• If material on lofttools.com infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent (section 3) using the template in section 4.
• We will act on properly submitted notices promptly, typically within 3 business days.
• If your material was removed and you believe it was a mistake, you can file a counter-notice (section 6).
• We terminate the access of repeat infringers under appropriate circumstances.

2. What we host (and don’t)

Loft Tools is a closed-source service we operate. The site, copy, design, tool catalogue, and integration code are first-party (written and maintained by us). We also incorporate third-party open-source libraries (including PDF.js, pdf-lib, ONNX Runtime Web, Tesseract.js, Phosphor Icons, and others) under their respective licences — see Open Source Notices for the full attribution list. The tools themselves run in your browser — your files are not uploaded to our servers.

User-generated content is currently limited and may include:

• Feature requests posted via the public feature-request form;
• Comments (if and when comments are enabled);
• Public shared workspaces (if and when sharing features are enabled).

If you believe Loft Tools is hosting material that infringes your copyright, this policy applies. If your concern is about a tool that processes content locally on someone else’s device, we have no copy of that content and cannot remove what we do not host.

3. Designated DMCA agent

Notices of alleged copyright infringement should be sent to our DMCA Designated Agent, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

• Designated Agent: Khine Zaw, dba Loft Tools
• Email (preferred): [email protected]
• Mail: 577 East Chartres Street, Anaheim, CA 92805, U.S.A.
• Phone: +1 (714) 261-6659

Verification: Our designated agent registration (Service Provider ID DMCA-1072893) is searchable in the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory at https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/.

(If you submitted a notice and it bounced or did not receive a response within 7 calendar days, please also email [email protected] so we can investigate.)

4. How to submit a takedown notice (notice template)

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a takedown notice must include all of the following. We’ve turned the statutory requirements into a fill-in-the-blank template — you can copy this directly into an email to [email protected].

Subject: DMCA Takedown Notice — [URL or page title]

To: Designated Agent, Loft Tools

I am writing to report copyright infringement on lofttools.com. I provide
the following information in good faith and under penalty of perjury, and I
believe the information in this notification is accurate.

1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed:
   [Describe the work, including registration number if any, and URL where
    the original can be found.]

2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and
   that is to be removed or access disabled, with information sufficient
   to permit Loft Tools to locate the material:
   [Specific URL(s) on lofttools.com.]

3. My contact information:
   - Full legal name:
   - Mailing address:
   - Telephone number:
   - Email address:

4. A statement that I have a good-faith belief that use of the material in
   the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its
   agent, or the law.

   [Yes / signed below]

5. A statement that the information in this notification is accurate, and
   under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner — or am authorized to act
   on behalf of the owner — of an exclusive right that is allegedly
   infringed.

   [Yes / signed below]

6. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person
   authorized to act on the owner's behalf:
   [Type your name, which constitutes an electronic signature.]

We may also publish a web form for submitting notices in the future. Until then, email is the only channel.

Misrepresentation warning. Section 512(f) of the DMCA provides that anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys’ fees. Please consider whether you actually own the rights you claim and whether the use is fair use before sending a notice.

5. What we do when we receive a notice

When we receive a notice that substantially complies with section 4, we will:

1. Acknowledge receipt by email, typically within 1 business day.
2. Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material — typically within 3 business days of a complete notice.
3. Notify the user who posted the material (if any), forward them a copy of the notice with your contact information, and inform them of the counter-notice procedure in section 6.
4. Retain a record of the notice, the action taken, and any communications, for at least 4 years.

If your notice is incomplete (for example, missing the statements required in items 4–6 above), we will tell you what is missing and we may not be able to act on it until it is complete.

6. Counter-notice procedure

If your material was removed because of a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include all of the following:

Subject: DMCA Counter-Notice — [URL or page title]

To: Designated Agent, Loft Tools

1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access
   has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared
   before it was removed or access was disabled.

2. A statement under penalty of perjury that I have a good-faith belief
   that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
   misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

3. My contact information:
   - Full legal name:
   - Mailing address:
   - Telephone number:
   - Email address:

4. A statement that I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District
   Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or, if
   my address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in
   which Loft Tools may be found, and that I will accept service of
   process from the person who provided the original notification or an
   agent of such person.

5. Physical or electronic signature:
   [Type your name, which constitutes an electronic signature.]

When we receive a complete counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and tell them that we will restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed a court action seeking to restrain the user from infringing.

7. Repeat-infringer policy

We terminate the access of users who, in our reasonable judgment, are repeat infringers, in appropriate circumstances. A user is generally considered a repeat infringer if they receive three substantiated infringement notices within any 12-month period, though we may act sooner where the infringement is egregious. We may also restrict the IP address or device used by a repeat infringer if necessary to prevent further infringement.

8. Other intellectual-property complaints

If your concern is about trademarks, publicity rights, defamation, privacy, or other non-copyright issues, please email [email protected] with:

• the URL of the content,
• a description of the issue and the right being asserted,
• your contact information, and
• any evidence supporting your claim.

We will respond promptly. We may decline to act where the underlying claim is unclear, where the dispute is between private parties, or where action would conflict with applicable law.

9. EU Digital Services Act — notice-and-action mechanism

This page also serves as our notice-and-action mechanism under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act for users in the European Union. To submit a notice about illegal content, please use the email address in section 3 and include:

• a sufficiently substantiated explanation of the reasons why the information is illegal;
• a clear indication of the URL(s);
• the name and email of the submitter (unless reporting CSAM, sexual offences, or content where the law permits anonymous reporting); and
• a statement of good-faith belief that the information and allegations are accurate and complete.

We will provide our decision and reasons in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner, and we will inform you of the redress possibilities available.

10. Trusted flaggers, public authorities, court orders

We comply with valid legal orders from competent authorities. If you are a public authority, regulator, or court submitting a takedown or information request, please email [email protected] with the order attached. We respond to facially valid orders promptly and may also notify the affected user (where the order does not prohibit such notice).
