Copyright and Ownership Concerns

1. Overview

AtoCook provides a platform reporting process for copyright and ownership concerns about content shared on AtoCook.

If you believe content on AtoCook uses material you own or control without sufficient permission, you can report that concern for review. This page explains the reporting process. It is not legal advice and does not determine legal ownership.

2. Content you share

Only upload or publish content that meets one of these conditions:

• content you own;
• content you use with sufficient permission or a valid licence; or
• public-domain material, or material you are allowed to use under an applicable legal exception.

Attribution alone does not establish permission. Do not copy another person’s original writing, photos, videos, captions, thumbnails, or other creative material without sufficient permission or a valid basis to use it.

Not every recipe idea, ingredient list, or cooking method is necessarily protected by copyright. Protection often depends on the specific creative expression involved. When in doubt, do not upload material you are not entitled to use.

3. How to report a concern

Use the in-app report option where it is available and choose the ‘Copyright’ reason. If in-app reporting is unavailable, or you need additional help, email support.atocook@gmail.com.

Please include:

• a link to, or enough information to identify, the AtoCook content at issue;
• identification of the original work, with a link or example if available;
• whether you own the relevant rights or represent the owner;
• an explanation of the concern; and
• a contact email.

Do not include passwords, payment details, government identification numbers, or other unnecessary sensitive identity documents or personal data in a report.

4. Review and possible outcomes

AtoCook may review reports based on the information provided, AtoCook policies, and other available context. A report does not guarantee removal, restoration, a specific response time, or any particular outcome.

Nothing on this page limits legal duties or deadlines that apply to AtoCook or to you. AtoCook does not automatically verify copyright or make final legal ownership decisions through the app.

If you are the affected user and you dispute a report, can explain your permission or licence, or believe the content was mistakenly identified, contact support.atocook@gmail.com with the relevant details so the concern can be considered further.

5. Privacy of report information

Information submitted in a report is used to assess and handle the concern.

Relevant details may be disclosed to the affected user, to necessary service providers, or to authorities where appropriate or legally required. AtoCook does not promise absolute confidentiality of reports, and it does not routinely disclose full report contents to everyone involved.

See our Privacy Policy for more information about how AtoCook handles personal information.

6. False or abusive reports

Only submit concerns you believe are genuine.

Knowingly false, misleading, retaliatory, fraudulent, or abusive reports may violate AtoCook policies. Submitting an unsuccessful report in good faith is not, by itself, treated as an abusive report.
