## Policies and safety - Guides on how to protect your account and your content.
- [Copyright and the DMCA](https://wordpress.com/support/copyright-and-the-dmca/): The creator of original material (text, images, songs, etc) has copyright over that material; this is the right to decide who can use that material, as well as where and when that use is authorized. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (or DMCA for short) is a US federal law that allows copyright holders to remove unauthorized uses of their copyrighted materials, and protects online service providers (like WordPress.com) who comply with the DMCA process from legal liability. The law is meant to provide a balanced process: copyright holders are responsible for enforcing the rights they have in their work, and online services have a legal incentive to honor all valid takedown requests.
- [Our DMCA Process](https://wordpress.com/support/our-dmca-process/): The process begins when a copyright holder (or someone acting on their behalf) submits a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) takedown notice to us, claiming that their content is published on WordPress.com without their permission. They can submit a DMCA takedown notice via our form, email, or printed letter. After that, here’s what happens:
- [Countering a DMCA Notice](https://wordpress.com/support/counter-notice/): Chances are you landed here because we’ve passed along a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notice regarding material on your site. In short, the DMCA enables copyright holders to enforce their rights by requesting the removal of unauthorized uses of their content. This means that as the host of your site, we’re required to disable access to content upon receipt of a valid takedown notice.
- [Keep your site safe and secure](https://wordpress.com/support/security/): The security of your website and your personal data is always a priority. This page describes what we do to help protect your site and your personal information, along with added steps we recommend you take to do the same.  
- [Copyright and Fair Use](https://wordpress.com/support/fair-use/): WordPress.com is a publishing, rather than a file sharing platform, so copyrighted materials are often used in commentary, journalism, or the transformation of the material into something original of their own. As such, it’s important to consider if the manner in which the material is used falls under fair use, before submitting a DMCA notice. Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing is liable for:
- [Copyright Infringement – What to Do](https://wordpress.com/support/copyright-infringement-what-to-do/): Bloggers, writers, poets, photographers, and other types of content creators sometimes have their content unlawfully copied and reproduced without permission. We understand the value of intellectual property, and will take immediate action to ensure your rights are protected should the culprit be a site hosted on WordPress.com. However, if the subject of the complaint is on a website hosted elsewhere, we will be unable to take any direct action. It is important for you, as a WordPress.com blogger, to understand the possible course of action that you can take in order to protect your copyrights.
- [Prevent content theft](https://wordpress.com/support/prevent-content-theft/): If you are concerned about material from your site being used without permission, there are several steps you can take to help reduce the risk. However, remember that there is no way to fully guarantee the complete protection of your work. (After all, this is the internet.)
- [Restricted Businesses and Activities](https://wordpress.com/support/restricted-businesses-and-activities/): You may not use WooCommerce Payments to enable any person (including you) to benefit from restricted businesses or activities.
- [Emergency Requests for User Information](https://wordpress.com/support/report-blogs/emergency-requests/): This process is for law enforcement and government officials only — all other reports will be ignored. Please contact law enforcement if you need immediate assistance, and instead use this form to report content. 
- [Creative Commons](https://wordpress.com/support/creative-commons/): A Creative Commons license allows you to specify to your readers what they can and cannot do with your blog’s content. Should you choose this type of license for the content of your website, you may visit the Choose a License page on the organization’s official website.
- [Your WordPress.com site and the GDPR](https://wordpress.com/support/your-site-and-the-gdpr/): We care a lot about your privacy and that of your site’s visitors. WordPress.com is committed to operating in accordance with the GDPR, as well as giving you tools and resources to help you better understand and comply with the law, for your own site. This guide is designed to aid you in your efforts to be transparent to your site’s visitors about the data your site collects on them and how that data is used.
- [Report a Site](https://wordpress.com/support/report-blogs/): If you find a site that violates our User Guidelines or Terms of Service, we want you to let us know about it. Please understand that we don’t always respond to these reports, but every single one is read (by a real human being), and the reported site is reviewed accordingly.
- [Mature content](https://wordpress.com/support/mature-content/): We do permit mature content on WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites connected to Jetpack, including text, images and videos that contain nudity, offensive language, and mature subject material. However, websites that contain such content must be marked as Mature in our system.
- [Suspended Content and Sites](https://wordpress.com/support/suspended-blogs/): By creating an account you agree to our Terms of Service and User Guidelines.
- [Legal Guidelines](https://wordpress.com/support/report-blogs/legal-guidelines/): Our users place their trust in us to keep them safe, and, in some cases, anonymous. We view safeguarding that trust and protecting our users’ private information as vital to what we do.
