DMCA & Copyright Policy
Complete publication candidate for attorney approval
Document key: dmca
Version: 1.0
Effective date: July 27, 2026
1. Respect for copyright
EddieRod.com respects copyright and expects users to do the same. This Policy explains how to report material you believe infringes copyright and how a user may dispute a removal.
2. Designated copyright agent
Send copyright notices and counter-notices to:
DMCA Agent: Copyright Agent, EddieRodLLC
Operator: EddieRodLLC, doing business as EddieRod.com
Address: 3816 South Lamar Blvd, Building 22, Austin, Texas 78704, United States
Phone: 512-387-0093
Email: focus@eddierod.com
EddieRod.com intends to maintain matching agent information in the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory.
3. Copyright notice
A notice should include:
1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if multiple works are covered;
3. identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, including the URL;
4. your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
5. a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law; and
6. a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
A notice that does not substantially include this information may be delayed or rejected. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation may create liability.
4. What we do with a notice
When we receive a substantially valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the user who posted it, preserve relevant records, and take other appropriate action. We may forward the notice, including contact information, to the user or a transparency service where lawful.
We may also remove material when we have actual knowledge or become aware of facts making infringement apparent, even without a formal notice.
Automated filters may help identify duplicate or apparently infringing material, but a filter does not replace review of a properly submitted notice.
5. Counter-notice
A user who believes material was removed because of mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice containing:
1. the user’s physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
4. the user’s name, address, telephone number, and email address;
5. consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the user’s address, or, if outside the United States, the federal judicial district where EddieRodLLC is located; and
6. agreement to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person’s agent.
6. Restoration after counter-notice
We may send the counter-notice to the original claimant. Unless the claimant notifies us that a court action has been filed seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice.
7. Repeat infringers
We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who repeatedly infringe copyright. We may consider valid notices, counter-notices, court findings, repeated removals, obvious infringement, and attempts to evade enforcement. We may act sooner for deliberate, large-scale, or dangerous conduct.
8. Other rights complaints
Trademark, privacy, publicity, impersonation, defamation, and other rights complaints may be sent to focus@eddierod.com. A DMCA notice should be used only for copyright claims.
9. Misuse
Do not submit a notice or counter-notice containing knowingly false statements. We may suspend accounts that abuse the process and may disclose information when required by law.

EDDIE ROD.COM / LEGAL DOCUMENT
Data Retention Schedule
Complete publication candidate for attorney approval
Status: Internal legal and operational annex
Version: 1.0
Effective date: July 27, 2026
This schedule supports the Privacy Policy and deletion, export, anonymization, suppression, licensing, security, and legal-hold workflows. “Anonymize” means removing direct identifiers and retaining only what remains necessary. A hash may still be personal or pseudonymous data.
1. Operating principles
• Keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for a documented purpose.
• Delete information when no longer needed, unless law, security, fraud prevention, licensing, suppression, accounting, or a dispute requires retention.
• When deletion would destroy evidence of a contract, license, consent, suppression request, or abuse decision, retain the minimum record and remove direct identifiers where practical.
• Restrict access to retained records and prohibit unrelated use.
• Apply deletion to active systems promptly and allow backups to expire through normal rotation.
• Place a documented legal hold on relevant records when a dispute, investigation, or preservation duty arises.
• Use automated deletion where implemented and documented manual review for remaining categories.

3. Deletion workflow
1. Authenticate the request using proportionate information.
2. Locate data across registered subsystems.
3. Delete ordinary account, preference, engagement, and workspace records.
4. For retention-bound records, remove direct identifiers, restrict access, and record the retention basis.
5. Preserve content or evidence under a documented legal hold.
6. Record completion, partial denial, and appeal instructions.
7. Ensure deleted data is not reintroduced from backups except during a necessary restore, after which the deletion request must be reapplied.
4. Special operating rules
4.1 Published content after account deletion
Published Bulletins, riffs, and comments may remain while the account identity is removed. This preserves links, community context, and dependent riffs. A valid copyright, privacy, safety, court, or legal removal requirement overrides ordinary retention.
4.2 Perpetual Vault licenses
A licensee and EddieRod.com may need the frozen receipt many years later. If de-identification would make the license impossible to prove, the record is restricted rather than destroyed.
4.3 Acceptance and suppression evidence
Legal acceptance and suppression records remain after account deletion because deleting them can destroy proof of agreement or cause renewed unwanted email. Their use remains limited to those purposes.
4.4 Hashes
IP and birth-date hashes may be susceptible to matching or enumeration and are treated as pseudonymous personal data unless a documented assessment establishes otherwise.
4.5 Manual and automated enforcement
Some categories are automatically deleted, expired, anonymized, or rotated. Other categories require documented manual review. The public Privacy Policy describes the intended periods; operations must not claim automatic enforcement where only a manual process exists.
5. Review cycle
Review this schedule at least annually and whenever a new processor, data category, advertising method, AI use, subscription model, age rule, or legal regime is introduced.
