DMCA Policy

ShieldVPN complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same.

If you believe that content accessible through our service infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice using the process described on this page.

To file a valid DMCA takedown notice, your written communication must include all of the following elements as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or person authorised to act on their behalf
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the infringing material and its location (URL or specific description)
• Your contact information — name, 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on their behalf

Please send your completed DMCA notice to our designated copyright agent using one of the following methods:

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice, we follow this process:

1. 1We review the notice to verify it meets all legal requirements under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).
2. 2If valid, we act promptly to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
3. 3We notify the affected party (if applicable) and provide them with a copy of the notice.
4. 4We allow the affected party to submit a counter-notification if they believe the takedown was in error.
5. 5If a valid counter-notification is received, we may restore the material after 10–14 business days unless the copyright owner seeks a court order.

If you believe your content was removed due to a mistaken or misidentified DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the removed material and its location before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, ShieldVPN has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

ShieldVPN may also, at its sole discretion, limit access to the service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
