Taking your content down (DMCA)

Updated

So, what do we keep?

Nothing to pull, honestly. We’ve got no pictures, clips or profile files sitting on our servers. When somebody looks up a profile, our server turns to a separate data company, which fetches whatever that account is showing the world right now. When the tab closes, it’s gone from our side. That means there’s no copy for us to delete, and there isn’t a button here to keep one account or one post out of view.

Where taking it down works

Over on Instagram. If it’s your account, delete the story or post, or flip it to private, and it stops showing up here too, since the data company can only grab what Instagram still shows the public. If it isn’t yours, report it to Instagram: its Help Centre has forms for reporting stuff, copyright claims included, and that’s how stuff gets pulled from Instagram.

Email hello@storiesglance.com and we’ll answer every single one. For a proper DMCA notice, tell us what the work is, where it shows up (the handle or a link), that you believe in good faith nobody gave permission, and that everything you’ve said is true, knowing a false statement counts as perjury. Add how we can reach you. If it’s about something we control, like our own words and pictures, we’ll sort it. If it’s about something on Instagram, we’ll point you to the right place on Instagram.

Did we get it wrong?

Did we take down something of ours because of a notice you think got it wrong? Drop us a counter-notice by email: how to reach you, what got removed, and why the takedown shouldn’t have happened. We’ll send it on to the person behind the first notice.
