3) Understanding DMCA vs Copyright Complaints

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is a copyright law primarily used in the United States.

Even though Parivahan Sewaa is India-focused, we follow DMCA-style takedown procedures because:

• many hosting providers and ad networks (including Google) rely on it
• it provides a standard process for copyright claims

We also accept copyright removal requests from copyright owners worldwide.

4) What We Do When We Receive a Complaint

When we receive a valid complaint, we may take one or more of the following actions:

• remove the content from our website
• disable access to the content
• replace the content with an original version
• add proper attribution (if the owner requests attribution instead of removal)
• block repeat offenders (if applicable)

We aim to act fairly and quickly.

5) Before Submitting a Complaint (Recommended)

Before sending a complaint, please ensure:

• you are the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner
• the content is not used under fair use (e.g., commentary, reporting, education)
• the work is not public domain
• you have the correct URL(s)

This helps us avoid delays and unnecessary removals.
