Complaints related to copyright infringement must be submitted to our copyright agent in accordance with our DMCA Policy, and we will respond to copyright infringement complaints as set out in that policy.

• Using the "Report Content" Function: Using the "Report" function on the content page, select the reason for your complaint from the drop-down menu.

• Emailing: Email your complaint to [email protected].

• Writing to Us: Mail your complaint to the address listed above.

(b) Please ensure your complaint includes sufficient information for us to investigate your complaint effectively, including:

• (1) URLs or other identifiers for the reported content;

• (2) a clear explanation of the alleged issue, referencing relevant laws or policies if applicable; and

• (3) supporting documentation, such as screenshots, recordings, or other materials.

If a complaint is missing important information, we may not be able to properly consider it.

7. Privacy and Data Handling

We may accept anonymous complaints where allowed by law. Personal data submitted in a complaint will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR and CCPA.

8. Accessibility and Multilingual Support

We are working to make our complaints process accessible in multiple languages and formats, including options for users with disabilities, where required under the EU DSA, UK Online Safety Act, or local laws.

9. Complaint Review Process

When reviewing a complaint:

• We will review the relevant information and the supporting documents that you have provided.

• We may request additional information or documents from you or third parties to assist in resolving your complaint.

• We will review your complaint in good faith and within any legally applicable time limit. Complaints involving unlawful or nonconsensual content will be investigated within seven business days, or within 48 hours where required by law (such as under the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act).

• If your complaint relates to content that appears on FetishFinder and we determine that the content is unlawful or materially violates our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy, we will remove it.

• We will notify you when we have completed our review of your complaint and any action taken as a result of your complaint. If we determine that the content complies with our Terms of Service and do not remove it, you can appeal our decision as described in our Appeals Policy. If we disagree that consent to participate in any content is void under applicable law, we will allow that disagreement to be resolved by a neutral body at our expense without going through the appeals process. You will also receive a clear and specific statement of reasons for any decision not to act, as required by article 17 of the EU Digital Services Act.

10. Abuse of Complaint Process

You must not make any complaint under this policy that is wholly unjustified, abusive, or made in bad faith. If we determine that you have done so, we may suspend or terminate your account.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you may have access to consumer mediation services under applicable national law. We are not obliged to participate in any consumer mediation or alternative dispute resolution proceedings and do not commit to doing so, except where participation is mandatory under applicable law. This provision does not affect any rights you may have under the EU DSA or other mandatory consumer-protection laws.
