Complaints & copyright

Lector lets people import and store their own books, articles, and podcasts to read and study. That content is private to each account — it isn't published or shared — but if you believe something on Lector infringes your rights, or you need to report abuse, here's how to reach us.

Copyright & DMCA takedowns

If you're the rights holder (or authorised to act for one) and believe material on Lector infringes your copyright, email our designated agent at [email protected]. So we can act quickly, please include:

• identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed;
• identification of the material in question and enough information for us to locate it (for example, the account email it relates to);
• your contact details — name, email, and address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorised by the rights holder, its agent, or the law;
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you're authorised to act for the rights holder; and
• your physical or electronic signature.

We review every notice and remove or disable access to infringing material where a report is valid. Because content on Lector is private per user rather than publicly hosted, we'll weigh that context when we respond.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or misidentification, email [email protected] with a counter-notice that identifies the material, your contact details, and a statement — under penalty of perjury — that you have a good-faith belief it was removed in error.

Other complaints & abuse

For acceptable-use violations, abuse of the service, or any other concern, email [email protected]. Our acceptable-use rules are in the Terms of Service. Lector is operated by Luke Boyle.
