Rights holders

Write to rights@dogerra.world. There is no web form — an email is enough. Please include:

• who is filing: full name or company name; if a representative files, their authority;
• a contact for our reply;
• the work: which work or material it is and how to identify it;
• the exact page addresses (URLs) or identifiers of the material on Dogerra;
• the basis of your rights: you are the author, the author transferred the rights to you, or you hold a licence;
• your request: remove the material, credit the author, or keep it under licence terms.

A claim without a URL or identifier is not rejected: we will ask for details and help find the material. Every claim gets a number, sent to you in the acknowledgement.

If a claim is sufficiently substantiated, the disputed material is removed from public view while the claim is reviewed. The same file will not come back automatically through a re-upload or another source. In the end the material is either restored (rights confirmed or a licence granted) or removed from public view.

• acknowledgement of receipt — within 1 business day;
• check of the details and, if they are sufficient, temporary removal — within 3 business days of receipt;
• decision on the merits — within 15 business days of receiving complete information. If the dispute needs more time, we will tell you why.

• remove or hide the material;
• confirm the rights and keep the material with author credit;
• grant Dogerra a licence to use the material.

The user who uploaded the material is notified of the removal and may object with evidence of their rights. The claimant receives a reasoned reply once the review is complete. Dogerra's decision does not limit either party's right to go to court.

• photographs;
• texts;
• documents, including scans of pedigrees and diplomas;
• logos and brand marks;
• databases and data sets;
• other protected works.

Material is uploaded by Dogerra users. Some historical records and photographs were transferred from open sources when the registry was built.

The general claims procedure and response times are in: Dogerra Claims Procedure

Content rights and how photographs are handled are in section 7 of: Dogerra Public Offer

A claim contains your personal data: name or company name, contact, details of the work and the basis of rights, addresses of the disputed material, correspondence and the decision. We process it to review the claim, temporarily hide, restore or remove the material and protect the parties' rights (Art. 6(1)(7) of Federal Law No. 152-FZ). Details are in section 3.16 of: Dogerra Personal Data Processing Policy
