Record Correction, Removal, and Intellectual Property Policy

1. Who can make a request

Anyone may report inaccurate information, impersonation, misleading affiliation, inappropriate content, or a rights concern. A person represented in a record, their authorized representative, an organization acting within its authority, or an applicable rights holder may request correction, restriction, or removal of relevant material or an entire record.

You do not have to register, claim a profile, accept a service agreement, or pay to submit a request. The existence of a reporting process does not waive your right to use other lawful remedies or contact a regulator.

2. Information that helps us respond

Provide the page or profile link; the specific information or material at issue; the action requested; a concise explanation; a reply contact; and, where relevant, supporting information showing the error or your authority. For a safety concern, identify the risk without submitting unnecessary sensitive details.

We may request proportionate evidence to protect against impersonation or unauthorized changes. We do not require a government ID for every request. Do not email passwords, Social Security numbers, or confidential educational or medical records. We will identify an appropriate secure method if additional sensitive evidence is genuinely necessary.

3. Review and available actions

We assess the request, the nature of the information, applicable law, competing rights, available evidence, and any material safety concern. We may correct or annotate information, remove an image or logo, restrict access, suspend a disputed claim, distinguish historical from current employment, remove a record from public display, or decline an unsupported or unlawful alteration.

Credible impersonation, serious safety issues, and clear rights violations may warrant interim restriction while review continues. We do not require the requester to become an OG1 user to obtain that review. We do not assume that an employer can delete a former employee's entire professional identity merely because employment has ended.

Requests based on a statutory privacy or other legal right are handled under the applicable requirements, including response periods, exceptions, and appeal rights. A discretionary editorial request is not automatically a statutory deletion request, and a copyright complaint is not automatically a basis to remove unrelated factual information. We communicate material outcomes or denials as required and offer review through the request form.

4. What removal means

Removal from public display is different from deletion of every retained record. We may retain limited information as legally permitted for security, request compliance, suppression, disputes, or other necessary purposes described in the Privacy Policy. Retention does not authorize republication or continued unrelated use.

Where removal or suppression is appropriate, we use reasonable measures to prevent routine imports from recreating the same removed record, consistent with applicable law. We cannot directly erase independent source websites, external screenshots, previously distributed resumes, or search-engine caches, but will take the additional steps legally required of us.

5. Trademark, affiliation, and likeness concerns

For a trademark or affiliation complaint, identify the mark or representation, its location, the relevant rights holder, and why the use is misleading or unauthorized. For a name, image, voice, or likeness complaint, identify the person and the use at issue. Distinguish a factual directory reference from a promotional use when possible.

OG1 does not treat the appearance of a name or mark as proof of a commercial partnership. A disclaimer is not a substitute for resolving an unlawful use. We may remove the disputed material without removing unrelated professional facts when that response is appropriate.

6. Copyright notices under the DMCA

Send copyright notices to: [DESIGNATED AGENT NAME OR TITLE], [AGENT POSTAL ADDRESS], [AGENT TELEPHONE], [AGENT EMAIL]. The agent information published here must match OG1's active U.S. Copyright Office designation.

A notice should contain: (1) the copyright owner's or authorized agent's physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list when multiple works are involved; (3) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information sufficient to locate it; (4) contact information reasonably sufficient to contact you; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the complained-of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law; and (6) a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner of the allegedly infringed exclusive right.

We assess notices and respond as applicable law requires, including expeditious removal or disabling of access when warranted. When we remove material through this process, we take reasonable steps to promptly notify the affected contributor and provide relevant notice information as needed to administer the process. Knowingly material misrepresentations may have legal consequences; this statement does not discourage good-faith complaints.

7. Counter-notices

An affected contributor who believes material was removed through mistake or misidentification may send a counter-notice to the designated agent. It must include: (1) a physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the removed material and its former location; (3) a statement under penalty of perjury of a good-faith belief that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification; and (4) the contributor's name, address, and telephone number, together with consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district containing the contributor's address, or, if outside the United States, a judicial district in which OG1 may be found, and acceptance of service of process from the original notifier or that person's agent.

Where the statutory counter-notice process applies, we promptly provide a qualifying counter-notice to the original notifier and inform them of the restoration process. We restore qualifying material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt, unless the designated agent receives notice of a filed action seeking a court order restraining the alleged infringement or another lawful basis independently supports keeping the material unavailable. A counter-notice does not guarantee that content otherwise violating platform rules will be republished.

8. Repeat infringement, privacy, and process integrity

OG1 implements a policy of terminating account holders who are repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and accommodates qualifying standard technical measures used to identify or protect copyrighted works. This policy does not claim that all OG1 activity qualifies for a statutory safe harbor, including content OG1 itself creates or obtains.

Request information is handled under the Privacy Policy. We may share relevant details with an affected contributor or rights holder where necessary and lawful to assess the issue, but seek to avoid unnecessary disclosure of sensitive information. Reports must be made honestly; fraudulent claims, threats, and requests to impersonate someone are not permitted. Good-faith complaints and lawful criticism remain protected to the extent provided by law.
