Copyright, DMCA, and Content Reuse Policy
Draft rules for CREN content ownership, excerpting, advertiser assets, user submissions, copyright complaints, and DMCA-style takedowns.
Effective date: 2026-08-29
Review status: Owner execution version. Contact CREN for notices; not attorney approval.
CREN content
CREN articles, guides, graphics, databases, page layouts, market summaries, logos, generated editorial images, and original site materials are protected by applicable intellectual-property rights. Limited sharing of headlines, links, and short excerpts should be allowed with attribution unless a separate license says otherwise.
Submitted content
- Submitters must have rights to logos, photos, videos, documents, ads, business copy, profile text, and listing materials they provide.
- Submitted materials may be reviewed, edited, resized, rejected, archived, or removed for policy, rights, quality, or safety reasons.
- Advertisers and profile owners remain responsible for rights and permissions in their submitted materials.
Copyright complaints
CREN should publish a copyright contact path and required notice elements before broad user-upload or advertiser-upload workflows scale. A repeat-infringer and counter-notice process should be reviewed before public use.
