Content and Copyright Policy

Last updated: 15 November 2026

This policy is part of the Terms of Service. It explains what you can put in an album, how to report a problem, how copyright takedowns work and what happens to repeat offenders.

1. Acceptable use

Albums are for celebrating occasions: weddings, birthdays, a baby's first year, graduations, travel, anniversaries.

Do:

  • Upload photos you took, or have permission to use.
  • Ask the people in your photos before you publish an album, especially guests. For children, ask a parent or guardian.
  • Use a password for albums that show children or private moments.

Don't upload or publish:

Not allowed What we do
Child sexual abuse material (CSAM), or any sexualised image of a minor Remove at once, preserve evidence as the law requires, close the account permanently, report to authorities
Intimate or sexual images of a person shared without their consent, including deepfakes Remove at once, close the account
Nudity or sexually explicit content Remove, warn or close the account
Photos of children in a context that exposes them to harm (e.g. revealing their school or address with their photo) Remove or ask you to edit
Content that infringes someone's copyright or other rights Remove after a valid notice (section 4)
Harassment, threats, defamation, doxxing, hate speech, violent extremism Remove, warn or close the account
Anything else illegal in Bangladesh or where you live Remove, close the account, cooperate with lawful requests
Spam, malware, phishing, misleading links Remove, close the account

2. Reporting an album

Anyone can report an album, signed in or not:

  • Use the Report link on any published album, or
  • Email us (contact address coming soon) with the album link and what is wrong.

Choose a reason: "I'm in this photo and didn't agree", "a child is shown inappropriately", "sexual or intimate content", "copyright", "harassment or hate", "other illegal content".

What happens next:

  1. We confirm receipt [automatically].
  2. We review the report. Reports about CSAM, non-consensual intimate images or a child at risk are handled first, normally within [24 hours]. Others within [7] days.
  3. If the content breaks this policy, we remove or disable it and tell the album owner, unless that would be unsafe or unlawful.
  4. We tell the reporter what we did, where we have their contact details.

People shown in an album. If you appear in an album (or are the parent or guardian of a child who does) and want a photo removed, report it. We will usually disable the photo or album while we contact the owner. We don't require you to prove copyright for privacy requests.

Emergencies. If someone is in immediate danger, contact local police first.

3. Illegal content involving children

We have zero tolerance for CSAM. If we find or are told about it we will remove it, keep the material and account data only as needed for the authorities, close the account, and report it to the relevant authorities, which may include [Bangladesh Police CID Cyber Police Centre], the NCMEC CyberTipline and the Internet Watch Foundation. We never forward such material to anyone else.

4. Copyright takedown (notice and takedown)

If you own the copyright in a photo (or act for the owner) and believe it is used in an album without permission, send a notice to our copyright contact:

Copyright contact: Afshin Nahian Tripto, Dhaka, Bangladesh, [Copyright email, e.g. copyright@triptex.me]

Your notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is enough).
  2. The work you say is infringed (for example, a link to your original photo or a description).
  3. The link to the album and which photo(s), so we can find them.
  4. Your name, postal address, email and phone number.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner.

What we do: if the notice is complete, we remove or disable the photo or album promptly, normally within [3 business days], tell the album owner, and send them a copy of the notice (we may remove your phone number and address). Incomplete notices: we will ask you for the missing details.

False notices. Knowingly false claims can make you liable for damages. Think about whether the use might be permitted (for example, a photo you were paid to take for this client) before sending a notice.

5. Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake (for example, you took the photo or have permission), send a counter-notice to the copyright contact with:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. What was removed and where it appeared (the album link).
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith the content was removed by mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of [Dhaka, Bangladesh] [and, for US claimants, a US federal district court] and will accept service of legal papers from the person who sent the notice.

We forward the counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have started a court action, we may restore the content.

6. Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. Our rule: an account that receives [2] valid copyright strikes within [12] months is closed, and the person may not create a new account. A strike is a valid notice that led to removal and was not successfully countered. We may close an account after one strike in serious cases. Other serious breaches of this policy (section 1) can also lead to immediate closure.

7. Appeals

If we removed your content or closed your account and you think we got it wrong, email us (contact address coming soon) within [30] days with the album link and why. We'll review it and reply. We don't restore CSAM or non-consensual intimate images under any circumstances.

8. Records

We keep a record of each report, notice, counter-notice and decision (who, what, when, what we did) for [3] years, to handle disputes, apply the repeat infringer rule and respond to lawful requests.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.

Drafting notes for the owner (delete before publishing)

  • This process follows the US DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512) because it is the format most rights holders worldwide expect. The DMCA safe harbour only protects you in the US if you register a designated agent with the US Copyright Office (online, small fee, renew every 3 years). As a Bangladesh-based individual with no US presence, this is optional; consider it if US users or US takedown volume grows.
  • Bangladesh: the Copyright Act, 2023 and the Cyber Security Ordinance, 2025 also apply. I did not find a specific Bangladeshi notice-and-takedown procedure for hosting services; have a lawyer confirm.
