DMCA & Content Removal Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2026

ClipDeck, operated by Hillsden Ventures LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), respects the intellectual property rights of content creators, podcast publishers, and all third parties. We are committed to responding promptly to any claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable laws.

How ClipDeck Sources Content

ClipDeck is a podcast discovery and playback application. We source podcast content exclusively from publicly-published RSS feeds and licensed data providers (such as Listen Notes). Full podcast episodes are streamed directly from the original publisher's servers — ClipDeck does not host or redistribute complete episode audio. Short preview clips (approximately 2.5 minutes) are provided to help users discover new podcasts, and every clip links directly to the full episode at its original source.

Content Removal Requests

If you are a podcast publisher, content owner, or authorized representative and would like your content removed from ClipDeck, you may submit a request using any of the methods below. We will process removal requests within 24 hours of receipt.

Simple Removal Request

If you are a podcast publisher or content owner and simply want your content removed, email us at support@clipdeck.fm with:

• Your name and the organization you represent
• The podcast or episode(s) you want removed
• A link to the content on ClipDeck (if available) or enough detail for us to identify it

No formal legal notice is required for simple removal requests. We will honor all good-faith requests from content owners.
