How to ask

E-mail [email protected] (the channel for legal notices, including notices under copyright law).
The feedback channel: the feedback button on the page in question, or POST /v1/feedback on the API, with the text starting takedown:. Include a Nostr pubkey or an API key as contact if you want an answer through them.
A Nostr contact will be listed here when the ops team publishes a key; a public issue template follows when the tracker opens.

What we need

What: the event id (note1… or 64 hex) or the pubkey for community content; the claim id (ann_…, att_…) for a Curated claim; the page URL always helps.
Why: the legal basis or the factual error — your own personal data published without a basis, a court order, an infringement, a defamatory statement, a claim whose source has been corrected — and the jurisdiction you rely on.
Who: a way to reach you for the answer and for one round of appeal. We do not need your identity documents for content you signed yourself: a NIP-09 deletion from your own key removes your own note without asking us.

Timelines

We acknowledge within 72 hours and decide within 14 days. Orders from a competent court or authority are acted on as they require.

Outcomes

Hide the community event from the site, the API and our relay, recorded with the reason legal:<reference>; the event stays in our store, invisible, for 90 days, then it is purged. Other relays keep their copies; we say so.
Ban the pubkey at our relay when the content or the behaviour warrants it.
Retract or expire a Curated claim: the claim keeps its history and citation, marked retracted with the reason; a source correction is applied at the next import.
Refuse, with our reasons in writing.

Appeal

One round, decided by a human operator who did not make the first decision, within 14 days of your appeal.

Record

Every action leaves an entry in our audit log (actor, action, reason, date) and a line in the public incidents log without personal data. We publish the count of takedowns received and acted on with each status update.
