Copyright Policy
Bloom Space respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy explains how we respond to claims of copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), the EU Copyright Directive, and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.
1. Reporting infringement (Notice of Claimed Infringement)
If you believe content on Bloom infringes a copyright you own or control, please send a written notice to our designated agent that includes all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorised to act on their behalf;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works);
- The exact URL or in-app location of the allegedly infringing content (post link, persona, sanctuary);
- Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number and email address;
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.

Please include “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.
2. What happens after a valid notice
- We review the notice for completeness and good faith.
- If the notice is valid, we remove or disable access to the reported content, usually within 24–72 hours.
- We notify the user who posted the content and provide a copy of the notice (with your contact details, as required by law).
- We log the action against the user's account for our repeat-infringer policy.
3. Counter-notice
If you believe your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to copyright@bloomspace.app containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material removed and where it appeared before removal;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification;
- Your full name, address, phone number, email, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if outside the US, the courts where Bloom is established), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.
If we receive a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we may restore the content.
4. Repeat-infringer policy
Bloom maintains a repeat-infringer policy. Accounts that receive multiple valid copyright notices may have features restricted, content removed, or be terminated entirely, including all linked personas. We use a strike-based system: 3 strikes within 12 months results in account termination, subject to fair-process review.
5. Misuse of this process
Submitting false or bad-faith copyright notices is unlawful (17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent national laws) and may result in liability for damages, costs and attorneys' fees, as well as suspension of your ability to submit future notices.
6. Trademark, publicity & other IP
For trademark, right-of-publicity, or other intellectual-property complaints not covered by copyright law, please email legal@bloomspace.app with the same level of detail described above.
7. Fair use, parody & transformative works
We acknowledge that copyright law in many jurisdictions allows fair use, fair dealing, parody and transformative works. Where appropriate, we will consider these factors before taking down content. Submitting a counter-notice with a clear fair-use argument is encouraged when applicable.
8. Contact
All copyright correspondence should go to copyright@bloomspace.app. Our team aims to respond to all valid notices within 3 business days.
