DMCA Policy

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

918kaya respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. This DMCA Policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims.

📋 What is DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides a framework for addressing copyright infringement on digital platforms. While we operate in Papua New Guinea, we follow DMCA procedures as a best practice for copyright protection.
