Copyright and Takedowns
Ummah Media Group LLC - how to tell us about content you own that has been posted on one of our sites, what we do about it, and how to dispute a removal.
Last updated: August 3, 2026
In plain words: people upload things to our sites. Sometimes what they upload belongs to someone else. If that someone is you, email us, tell us what is yours and where it is, and we will look at it and take it down if it should not be there. You do not need a lawyer to do this, and you do not need an account on our sites. There is no form to fill in - a plain email is fine.
1. How to report content you own
Send an email to the address below. Include the six things in the checklist - they are what we need to act on a report without guessing, and leaving one out is the most common reason a report stalls.
Send your notice to copyright@ummah.city- The work that is yours. Describe it - a book, a lecture recording, a photograph, an article, a logo. If it is published somewhere, a link helps.
- Where it is on our site. The URL of the page, and enough detail to find the exact item on it. If there are several, list them all.
- How to reach you. Your name, the organisation you act for if any, a postal address, an email address, and a phone number.
- A good-faith statement. That you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- An accuracy statement. That the information in your notice is accurate and that, under penalty of perjury, you are the owner of the work or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your signature. Physical or electronic - typing your full name at the bottom of the email counts.
If you are not sure your report has every element, send it anyway. We would rather read an imperfect notice and come back to you with a question than have you not write at all.
2. What we do when a notice arrives
- We read it. A person on our team reads every notice - this mailbox is not answered by software. We reply to confirm we have it, and we come back with the outcome. We are a small team, so expect a few business days rather than a few minutes, and write to us again if you have not heard back.
- We remove or disable access to material we conclude is infringing. That means it comes off the page, out of feeds, and out of search results on our own site.
- We tell the person who uploaded it what was removed and why, and we pass on the substance of your notice - including your name and contact details, since they need to know who is asking and are entitled to dispute it. If that matters to you, use a role address or an agent rather than a personal one.
- Repeat infringers lose their accounts. Someone who keeps posting other people's work loses access to the service, not just the individual upload.
3. If we removed something of yours by mistake
Removals are judgement calls and we will sometimes get one wrong. If your material was taken down and you believe that was a mistake - it is your own work, you have permission, or the use is permitted by law such as quotation, commentary, teaching or criticism - write to the same address and tell us.
- Identify what was removed and where it used to be on the site.
- Explain why you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, and state that you believe so under penalty of perjury.
- Give us your name, postal address, email address and phone number.
- Sign it, the same way as above.
We will pass your dispute to the person who reported the material, consider both sides, and tell you what we decided and why. If we conclude the removal was wrong, we put your material back.
4. A note on false claims
A takedown notice is a serious document. Claiming rights over work that is not yours, or demanding removal of material you know is not infringing, can carry real legal liability - including for the costs the other side runs up because of it. Please only file when you genuinely hold the rights.
If you are unsure whether you hold the rights, ask us before filing rather than after. We would rather help you work it out.

6. Content we publish ourselves
Our own names, logos and the material we produce belong to Ummah Media Group LLC - that side is covered in our Terms of Service. Content linked from the Learn District belongs to the Islamic institutions that made it; we link to it rather than host it, and a rights concern there is best raised with us so we can remove the link.
