Copyright Policy

Effective date: October 20, 2026

1. ABOUT THIS POLICY

1.1 What this is. This Copyright Policy sets out in full how WorkCarousel handles claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the “DMCA”). Section 17 of our Terms of Use at https://workcarousel.com/terms summarizes this process; this page is the complete version.

1.2 Who we are. The Service is operated by HR Data Labs LLC, doing business as WorkCarousel.

2. RESPECT COPYRIGHT

2.1 Post only what you have the right to share. The posts, photos, videos and shelf items you add must be your own work, work you have permission to share, or work you may share under the law.

2.2 Link, don’t re-upload. Shelf items are designed to link to media where it is hosted — a podcast episode on its own platform, for example — rather than re-uploading someone else’s work. Linked media plays from its hosting service, under that service’s terms.

3. REPORTING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

3.1 Designated agent. If you believe Content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent:

Designated agent: David Turetsky, HR Data Labs LLC
Postal address: PO Box 222, Sugar Loaf, NY 10981
Email: david.turetsky@hrdatalabs.com
Telephone: (508) 271-5750
U.S. Copyright Office registration number: DMCA-1081954

4. WHAT A NOTICE MUST INCLUDE

4.1 Required elements. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if one notice covers multiple works, a representative list of them;
identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it, such as a link to the post;
your contact details — name, address, telephone number and email address;
a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
a statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.

4.2 Incomplete notices. If your notice is missing required elements, we may ask you to complete it before we act on it.

5. WHAT WE DO WHEN WE RECEIVE A NOTICE

5.1 Removal. When we receive a valid notice, we remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously.

5.2 Notice to the poster. We tell the member who posted the material that it was removed in response to a copyright notice, and give them a copy of the notice and information about sending a counter-notice.

5.3 Records. We keep records of notices, counter-notices and the actions we take.

6. COUNTER-NOTICES

6.1 If your Content was removed. If you believe your Content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our designated agent under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). A counter-notice must include:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before it was removed;
a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
your name, address and telephone number; and
a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located — or, if your address is outside the United States, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York — and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

6.2 What happens next. We forward your counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. Unless they tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days after receiving your counter-notice.

7. MISREPRESENTATION

7.1 Liability. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

8. REPEAT INFRINGERS

8.1 Termination. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright.

9. OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLAINTS

9.1 Trademark and other rights. For complaints about trademark infringement or other intellectual property rights, email support@workcarousel.com with a description of the right, proof of your authority to assert it, and the location of the material on the Service.
