Content removal & complaints
This Policy explains how anyone — registered users and third parties — can request the removal of content from CallMeHot, and what timeframes and guarantees we apply. The process is free and accessible to everyone.
1. Who can request removal
- The person depicted in the content (even without an account).
- The rights holder (for copyright see DMCA).
- Anyone who believes that a content is illegal or non-consensual.
2. How to submit the request
Fill in the removal request form (or write to [email protected]) indicating: your contact details, the URL of the content, the reason for the request and — if you are the person depicted — a statement to that effect.
3. Response times
- We confirm receipt of the request without undue delay.
- We review and process requests within 5 business days.
- Content suspected of being illegal, child sexual abuse material or non-consensual is removed or suspended immediately, even before the full verification.
4. Outcome and appeal
We communicate the outcome to you (removal, retention or a request for further information). If the request is rejected, you have the right to appeal by replying to our communication or writing again to [email protected] with additional elements: the appeal will be reviewed by a person other than the one who handled the first request.
5. Non-consensual content
For requests relating to content depicting you without consent we apply a priority lane: fast removal and, if necessary, blocking of re-publication through file fingerprinting (hashing) where technically possible.
6. Retention for legal purposes
Even after removal from the public part, some information may be kept for as long as necessary to comply with legal obligations and to cooperate with the authorities.
7. Abuse of the process
Requests must be truthful. Malicious or repeatedly unfounded reports may not be taken into account.
