1. Overview
dlzer.com is an independent editorial website that publishes information about mobile applications for Android and iOS. We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our visitors to do the same. We do not host, store, or distribute application installation files such as APKs or iOS packages, and we do not host any other copyrighted software or media on our own servers.
We act on valid copyright complaints in line with the notice-and-takedown principles of the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512), the safe-harbour provisions of the EU E-Commerce Directive (2000/31/EC), and the copyright law of the People’s Republic of China. In practice, this means that when we receive a properly completed notice from a copyright owner or that owner’s authorised agent, we review the material it identifies and remove or disable access to it where removal is justified.
2. What We Publish, and What We Do Not Host
Our pages contain editorial writing, app descriptions and comparisons, how-to guides, frequently asked questions, pros and cons, and links to the official store listing for an app. Where we show an app icon or a screenshot, we use it to identify the application being discussed.
We do not host any of the following, and no part of our Website is a file download:
- APK files, IPA files, or any other installable package;
- modified, patched, or “cracked” versions of an application;
- software, video, audio, or image files hosted on our servers;
- content uploaded by visitors — the Website has no user upload feature.
Every download button or store reference on this Website links to a listing on Google Play or the Apple App Store. We operate as an index or catalogue of links, not as a distributor. If a file you are looking for is hosted somewhere else, only the operator of that other site can remove it; we can remove the link on our own pages, but we cannot take content down from a third-party website or from an app store.
3. How to Report Copyright Infringement
If you believe that material on dlzer.com infringes your copyright, you may send us a written takedown notice. Please write in English, so that we can act on it without delay. A valid notice should contain all of the following:
- The work. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, please list them.
- The material on our site. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — the specific page URL or URLs, or a description of where on the page the material appears.
- Your contact details. Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
- Good-faith statement. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the copyright owner, by the owner’s agent, or by law.
- Accuracy statement. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Your signature. A physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorised to act for the copyright owner.
Send the notice to [email protected], with the subject line “DMCA Copyright Notice”, or by post to the address in Section 8. Please mark the correspondence clearly. We acknowledge notices when they are received.
4. How We Handle Notices
When we receive a notice that contains the information listed above, we review it and the material it identifies. If we accept the notice, we remove the identified material from our Website or disable access to it. Because our pages are editorial articles that link to official store listings, removal usually means taking down the article, or removing the specific image, link, or passage that was identified.
Our usual process is:
- We acknowledge receipt of the notice.
- We check that the notice covers each required element, and we may ask you for the missing details if it does not.
- We locate the material and assess the claim.
- If the claim is justified, we act promptly to remove or disable the material, and we tell you what we have done.
- Where the material was contributed by someone else, we may forward a copy of the notice to that person, as the law requires.
We may decline to act on a notice that is incomplete, that identifies material we cannot find, that concerns content on another website or an app store rather than on dlzer.com, or that we consider to be an abuse of the takedown process. We may also ask for clarification before removing editorial content that a third party has asked us to take down.
5. Counter-Notification
If you believe that material was removed from this Website because of a mistake or a misidentification — for example, because you hold the rights to the material, or because you have permission to use it — you may send us a counter-notice. Please include:
- your full contact details (name, postal address, telephone number, and email address);
- identification of the material that was removed, and the page URL where it appeared;
- a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
- a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a competent court for the purpose of any dispute about the material; and
- your physical or electronic signature.
We review counter-notices that contain this information. Where a counter-notice is valid, we may restore the material, unless the original complainant tells us that legal proceedings have been started, or a court orders otherwise. Restoring material is not an admission that the original notice was wrong, and it does not prevent either party from taking the matter further.
6. Trademarks, App Icons, and Screenshots
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any app developer or app store whose products we write about. App names, logos, icons, and screenshots are the property of their respective owners. We use them to identify and describe the applications our editorial content discusses, and not to suggest any endorsement or partnership.
If you own a trademark and believe that our use of it goes beyond identification and description, please write to us at the address in Section 8 with the page URL and an explanation. We will review it in the same way we review copyright notices.
7. Other Removal Requests
Not every complaint about a page is a copyright matter. If you believe that a page contains something that is defamatory, that discloses your personal information, that reveals a trade secret, or that is otherwise unlawful, you can write to us at [email protected] with the page URL and the specific passage you are concerned about. We consider these requests individually, and we may remove or amend content where that is the right outcome. Our privacy practices are described in our Privacy Policy.

9. Repeat Infringement
Because the Website does not accept user uploads, we do not operate a subscriber account system and there is no user content to remove on a repeat-infringer basis. Where a publisher or rights holder repeatedly claims that our coverage of a particular application infringes their rights, we will review our coverage of that application as a whole, rather than removing one page at a time.
10. Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this DMCA and Copyright Disclaimer from time to time, for example if our procedures or the applicable law change. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page shows when it last changed. This disclaimer forms part of our Terms and Conditions and should be read together with them, with our Privacy Policy, and with our Cookie Statement.
