    DMCA Notice & Designated Agent

    Last updated: May 12, 2026

    Ansvar Systems AB ("Ansvar") respects the intellectual property rights of others and asks the same of every person who uses the Ansvar Gateway, the Ansvar AI workspace, or any related service (collectively, the "Service"). This page describes how copyright owners and their authorised agents may submit notices of alleged infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 ("DMCA").

    For notices or complaints unrelated to US copyright — including database-right claims, contract claims, or alleged illegality under European Union member-state law — see our Notice & Complaints Procedure.

    Designated Agent

    Ansvar Systems AB has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). Our designation is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office.

    Ansvar Systems AB

    Service-provider record: Ansvar Systems AB (alternate names: Ansvar Gateway, Ansvar AI), designation effective May 12, 2026. View our record in the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory.

    For routine intake, you may also send DMCA notices to claims@ansvar.eu or dmca@ansvar.eu — both addresses forward to the designated agent. The agent's email above remains the address registered with the Copyright Office for the purposes of § 512(c)(2).

    How to Submit a DMCA Notice

    To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice of claimed infringement must be a written communication that includes all six of the following elements. A notice missing any element may be returned to you with a request to remedy the omission; we are not obliged to act on an incomplete notice.

    1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
    2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification — a representative list of such works.
    3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, in sufficient detail to permit Ansvar to locate the material. A URL or other precise identifier is preferred.
    4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Ansvar to contact you, including a postal address, a telephone number, and an email address.
    5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
    6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

    Where to send the notice

    Send the notice in writing to the Designated Agent at the address above, or to claims@ansvar.eu (preferred) or jeffrey.von.rotz@ansvar.eu. Postal mail is accepted but is materially slower; please send a copy by email in parallel if you use postal mail.

    What happens next

    We aim to acknowledge receipt within one business day. We will review the notice against the § 512(c)(3) elements and, if it is complete, assess the material identified. If we determine action is warranted, we will suspend availability of the identified material on our production infrastructure and confirm the action to you. We aim to complete substantive review within 72 hours of receipt of a complete notice; complex or escalated matters may take longer, in which case we will tell you.

    The suspension of material in response to a DMCA notice is an operational measure taken in response to the specific allegations in the notice. It is not an admission that the material infringes any right and does not concede the legal merits of the notice. Ansvar reserves all positions of law and fact.

    How we handle the personal data in your notice

    A valid DMCA notice contains personal data — your name, postal address, telephone number, email address, and signature. Ansvar Systems AB is the controller of that personal data once it reaches us. We process it for the purposes of receiving and acting on your notice, communicating with you about its outcome, and maintaining records of our handling.

    The lawful basis under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) is Article 6(1)(f) — our legitimate interest in operating a documented notice mechanism, communicating with notifiers about the outcome of their notices, and defending against bad-faith claims. We have assessed this against the rights and freedoms of notifiers and concluded the balance favours processing for these purposes.

    Records relating to notices are retained for seven years from disposition. The retention period balances the three-year federal statute of limitations under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) (which provides a cause of action for misrepresentation in notices) with a reasonable margin for evidence preservation, joinder of related matters, and pattern analysis. The complete statement of how we process personal data, the categories of recipients, and your rights as a data subject is in our Privacy Policy.

    Misrepresentation under § 512(f)

    Section 512(f) of the U.S. Copyright Act provides that any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents under § 512 (a) that material is infringing or (b) that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or its authorised licensee, or Ansvar, who is injured by the misrepresentation. We rely on this provision and reserve the right to pursue any remedy available under it where a notice is submitted in bad faith.

    Repeat Notices

    Ansvar reserves the right, in appropriate circumstances and at its reasonable discretion, to suspend or terminate access for accounts that are repeatedly subject to valid notices of alleged infringement. Determinations are made on the facts in light of the specific circumstances.

    Modifications

    We may update this page from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, contact information, or applicable law. The current version is always available at this URL. Material changes to the designated-agent record will be filed with the U.S. Copyright Office; the directory entry is authoritative on any inconsistency between this page and the registered record.
