Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to information processed through ContentRights services, including account creation, content registration, rights management, monitoring, alerts, licensing, earnings, support, and related features.
This policy does not govern independent websites, platforms, or services operated by third parties.

- Registered content and related metadata.
- Copyright, ownership, licensing, and rights information.

Registered Content
When users register content, ContentRights may process the uploaded material together with information associated with that material.
This may include titles, descriptions, registration identifiers, ownership information, file information, content type, timestamps, fingerprints or matching data, and rights-management settings.
Registered content is processed for the purpose of providing the ContentRights services requested by the user.
Information Collected Automatically
When ContentRights services are accessed, certain technical information may be processed automatically for security, reliability, fraud prevention, and service operation.

Monitoring and Matching Data
When monitoring features are enabled, ContentRights may process identifiers, fingerprints, metadata, URLs, matching information, or other technical information required to identify potential uses of registered content.
Monitoring results may contain information about publicly accessible material or information provided through authorized monitoring integrations.
ContentRights does not represent that every match indicates unauthorized use or copyright infringement.
Licensing and Transaction Information
If licensing or payment functionality is used, ContentRights may process information necessary to create, manage, verify, or display legitimate licensing and transaction activity.
Payment processing may be performed by a third-party payment provider. When this occurs, payment information may also be subject to that provider's privacy and security practices.
ContentRights should only retain payment information that is necessary for its legitimate operational, accounting, security, or legal requirements.
How Information May Be Shared
ContentRights does not need to sell personal information in order to provide its core rights-management services.
Information may be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:
- Work with service providers that support hosting, security, communications, monitoring, payments, or other operational functions.
- Complete a transaction or licensing process requested by the user.
- Investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or conflicting rights claims.
- Protect ContentRights, its users, or third parties.
- Comply with valid legal requirements.
Service providers should receive only the information reasonably necessary to perform their applicable functions.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
ContentRights may use cookies, local storage, session technologies, or similar mechanisms where necessary for authentication, account security, preferences, service operation, and fraud prevention.
If optional analytics or other non-essential technologies are introduced, additional disclosures or consent controls may be provided where required by applicable law.
Data Security
ContentRights is intended to use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information being processed.
These safeguards may include access controls, authentication protections, encrypted communications, monitoring, logging, and other security measures where appropriate.
No internet-connected system or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
ContentRights may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain legitimate records, resolve disputes, protect security, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, and satisfy legal obligations.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it is processed.
Account Choices
Where supported, users may be able to review or update account information, notification preferences, rights settings, registered content, and other account information through ContentRights account controls.
Additional requests regarding personal information may be submitted using the ContentRights contact information below.
Privacy Rights
Depending on where a user resides, applicable law may provide rights relating to personal information.
These rights may include the ability to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing.
ContentRights may need to verify a requester's identity before fulfilling a privacy request. Certain information may also need to be retained when required or permitted by law.
Children's Privacy
ContentRights is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable children's privacy laws.
If ContentRights learns that information has been collected from a child in circumstances where parental consent or another legal basis was required but not obtained, appropriate steps may be taken to address the information.
International Processing
ContentRights services and service providers may process information in locations other than the user's state, province, or country.
Where required, appropriate safeguards should be used for international transfers of personal information.
Legal Requests
ContentRights may preserve or disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, valid legal process, court orders, or other legally enforceable requests.
Requests may be reviewed for appropriate legal authority before information is disclosed where permitted.
Third-Party Services
ContentRights may integrate with external service providers that operate under their own privacy policies.
Users should review the privacy practices of third-party services when they interact directly with those services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
ContentRights may update this Privacy Policy when its services, security practices, legal obligations, or data processing activities change.
The effective date will be updated when changes are made. Additional notice may be provided when required by applicable law.
