This Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy (the “Policy”) applies to the website APK Built (the “Website” or the “Service”), including all associated products and services (collectively, the “Services”). It outlines how the operator of this Website (referred to as “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses claims of copyright infringement and provides guidance on how you (“you” or “your”) can submit such a complaint.
We are committed to protecting intellectual property rights and expect the same commitment from our users and their authorized representatives. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, our policy is to promptly respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.
What to Consider Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint
Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, please evaluate whether the use in question may qualify as fair use. Fair use permits limited use of copyrighted material without needing permission from the copyright owner, especially for purposes such as commentary, criticism, news reporting, education, and research.
If, after considering fair use, you still believe that a copyright violation has occurred, we recommend first attempting to contact the user directly to resolve the issue.
If you’re unsure whether the material you’re reporting is actually infringing, it is advisable to consult a legal professional before submitting a formal notice.
Please note that, at our discretion or as required by law, we may share a copy of your complaint—including your contact information—with the individual responsible for the allegedly infringing content. If you’re concerned about your privacy, you may wish to appoint an authorized agent to submit the complaint on your behalf.
Submitting a Copyright Infringement Notice
If you are the copyright owner or an authorized representative, and you believe that content on our Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice (“Notice”) using the contact details provided below.
Filing a DMCA complaint initiates a defined legal process. Once your notice is received, it will be reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and validity. If your notice meets all legal requirements, we may remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing content.
Should content be removed or restricted based on a DMCA complaint, we will make a good-faith effort to inform the affected user. This may include sharing a complete copy of your Notice (including your name, address, phone number, and email) along with instructions on how to file a counter-notice.
Please be aware that we reserve the right to take no action if the notice fails to meet all DMCA requirements.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If you receive a copyright infringement notice and believe the material was removed or disabled in error—due to misidentification or because it does not infringe—you may submit a counter-notice under sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.
The counter-notice must meet all legal requirements under the DMCA. We recommend reviewing the original complaint carefully and, if in doubt, consult a legal professional before proceeding.
If a valid counter-notice is received, we may forward it to the original complainant. We reserve the right to take no further action if the counter-notice does not meet the required legal standards.
This process does not limit any other legal remedies available to us in the event of suspected infringement.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Policy at any time. If changes are made, we will notify you via email or through a notice on the Website.
