Coszu

Copyright, Likeness & Safety Complaints

Effective / updated: October 13, 2026

1. Scope and current contact limitation

This policy covers copyright, image/likeness, intimate privacy and safety complaints about Coszu at https://coszu.com. These issues overlap but are not interchangeable: a person can have a likeness or nonconsensual-intimate-image claim without owning the photographer’s copyright. Identify the concern clearly so the appropriate legal rules can be assessed.

Use Feedback or the gallery Report control. Feedback includes a public notice form without authentication, reusing the existing rate-limited message endpoint. Gallery Report uses the same optional-authentication endpoint. Coszu does not assert a registered US designated copyright agent, verified agent email, mailing address or a functioning public appeals portal. The public form’s live delivery, required operator identity/contact disclosures and legally sufficient notice procedures must be verified before relying on statutory protections. An advertising partner’s copyright agent is not Coszu’s agent.

2. Identify the material and requested action

Give the exact Coszu URL of each gallery or item, a description locating the particular image/video and, where possible, a non-sensitive reference identifying the original work or rights affected. Broad statements about an entire website can make locating the issue difficult. Explain whether you seek removal, restriction, correction or another remedy.

Provide accurate contact details for follow-up and explain your authority to act if you represent another person. Do not include passwords, wallet secrets or excessive identity documents. Do not attach CSAM or redistribute private intimate imagery in order to prove the report. A plain description and location are the appropriate starting point.

3. Copyright notice information

For a copyright notice intended to meet applicable US DMCA requirements, identify the copyrighted work, or a representative list where appropriate; identify the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; and provide contact information reasonably sufficient for a response. Include a physical or electronic signature of the owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Include a good-faith statement that the complained-of use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law, and a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed. Explain any relevant licensing or lawful-use context. These elements do not establish that Coszu has completed agent registration or that submitting the current form satisfies every statutory delivery requirement.

4. Copyright versus likeness and consent

A copyright notice should address rights in the work; a performer’s image, publicity or privacy complaint should state the person affected, the material, the unauthorized use and relevant circumstances. Consent to be photographed, crediting a cosplayer or a public social-media profile does not necessarily authorize distribution or commercial use.

If you act for the depicted person, explain your authority without publicly exposing sensitive records. For intimate imagery, indicate whether the creation, publication or manipulation was unauthorized, whether there is coercion or a threat, and whether a minor may be involved. A claimant need not assert copyright ownership to explain a personal safety or consent concern.

5. Urgent child safety and intimate-image concerns

Clearly mark concerns involving suspected minors, sexual exploitation, coercion, trafficking, hidden-camera footage or nonconsensual intimate content. Give the exact location and a concise description without sharing illegal copies. Sexual deepfakes and unauthorized face swaps are prohibited even when a disclaimer calls them synthetic.

If someone is in immediate danger or a legal reporting obligation applies, contact appropriate emergency, child-protection or law-enforcement authorities. Coszu’s contact form is not a guaranteed emergency service and no response SLA is asserted. The operator must establish lawful urgent triage and required authority-reporting procedures; the presence of this page does not prove those operations exist.

6. Assessment, restriction and preservation

A sufficiently specific complaint can support locating disputed material, considering interim restriction or removal and assessing the available rights and safety information. Context matters: copyright ownership, licensing, lawful exceptions, production age, distribution permission and applicable law may require different evidence. No outcome is guaranteed simply by checking a form field.

Content or access may be restricted while a credible concern is assessed. Relevant evidence may need to be preserved for a legal obligation or legitimate claim, with appropriate access limits. Information may be disclosed in response to lawful process. Coszu does not promise that every public image has already been proactively reviewed or that an acknowledgement creates a stored moderation case.

7. Counter-notices where the DMCA applies

Where a valid DMCA counter-notice procedure applies, required information generally includes a physical or electronic signature; identification of the removed or disabled material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury of a good-faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; and the sender’s name, address and telephone number.

The statutory process also requires consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate US federal district court, or, for a person outside the United States, the judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and acceptance of service from the original notifier or their agent. The appropriate recipient and statutory requirements must be verified for the actual facts. Do not send a counter-notice casually: it may involve disclosure to the claimant and legal consequences.

8. Restoration and disagreement

The US DMCA can provide a restoration process after a valid counter-notice, generally involving 10–14 business days after receipt unless the required notice of court action is received, subject to the statute’s conditions. This describes a conditional legal mechanism, not a Coszu response promise, guaranteed restoration deadline or proof that current intake implements it.

Restoration is not appropriate merely because a copyright dispute is contested if independent child-safety, intimate-privacy, consent or other legal restrictions remain. You may explain an error or new information through Feedback, but no separate functioning appeal process is represented. Applicable legal remedies and competent authorities remain available.

9. Repeat infringement and abusive notices

Repeated infringement or serious policy violations may lead to content restrictions, loss of account access or termination, with legally required safeguards. The operator must apply a repeat-infringer rule fairly to established facts; repeated unsubstantiated accusations do not automatically prove infringement. This policy does not assert a completed case-management system.

Notices and counter-notices must be truthful and authorized. Material misrepresentations can carry legal liability under applicable law, including US DMCA rules where relevant. Do not use legal complaints for harassment, extortion, impersonation or suppression of lawful criticism. Consider applicable exceptions before alleging infringement.

10. EU notice-and-action considerations

Where the Digital Services Act applies to Coszu’s hosting activities, Article 16 concerns an electronic notice mechanism accessible to individuals and entities, with sufficiently precise and substantiated notices. Article 17 concerns statements of reasons for qualifying restrictions. A notice should explain the alleged illegality, identify exact electronic locations, provide the notifier’s name and email where required (with the statutory child-safety exception), and state a good-faith belief that its information is accurate and complete. The applicable scope, exceptions and further complaint obligations require assessment of the actual service and operator.

The public Feedback form removes the account requirement, but a form alone does not establish DSA compliance. Live delivery, legally required acknowledgements and decisions, reason statements and any applicable redress processes remain operational prerequisites. This page explains the issue without claiming a DSA certification or inventing an endpoint.

11. Privacy of complaints and evidence

Complaint messages can contain personal information, rights assertions and contact data. Use only information necessary to explain the issue. Coszu may need to communicate relevant details to affected parties or competent authorities where appropriate and lawful; confidentiality of every submission cannot be guaranteed. See Privacy for requests relating to your own data.

Do not publicly post another person’s documents or intimate evidence in gallery comments or AI prompts. Government IDs and production records require a secure, lawful collection and retention process; the ordinary Upload does not provide one. Ask for an appropriate process rather than assuming the gallery submission form is suitable for identity records.

12. Related policies and official legal text

Read Acceptable Use for prohibited material, Terms for publication authority and account restrictions, Privacy for data handling and the performer-safety statement for cosplayer recordkeeping issues. The current Upload response does not transfer selected files or establish a review queue. Complaints about existing public media are distinct from that form.

This document is dated above and should be reviewed as actual legal-notice operations are established. Required operator identity, verified live public-notice delivery and lawful handling of copyright, NCII and child-safety notices are launch prerequisites. Statutory procedures depend on jurisdiction and facts rather than applying identically to every person or dispute.
