Copyright and DMCA

Effective November 10, 2026

TOMOTOMO respects copyright and expects the people who use it to do the same. Books and audiobooks people import stay on their own devices, so we never receive, host or share those files and can’t remove them. What we do store is what people make in the app and sync to their accounts: highlights (with the highlighted text), notes and Notebook pages, Companion conversations, and Imagine pictures. If you believe any of that infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent.

Designated agent

What a notice must include

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice has to be in writing and include all of the following, or we may not be able to act on it:

1. Your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them.
2. The copyrighted work you say is infringed (or a list, if there are several).
3. The material you say infringes, with enough detail for us to find it, such as the account email, the book it belongs to, or a screenshot.
4. Your name, mailing address, phone number and email address.
5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Knowingly misrepresenting that something infringes can make you liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you aren’t sure, consider asking a lawyer first.

What happens next

When we receive a valid notice, we remove or turn off access to the material and let the account holder know.

Counter-notices

If something of yours was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to the agent above. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) it must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. What was removed, and where it was before it was removed.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address and phone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, any judicial district where we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We send a copy to the person who sent the notice. Unless they tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances we close the accounts of people who repeatedly infringe copyright. This is part of our Terms of Use.
