Takedown Policy

ColoringLands.nl shares free coloring pages and creative content. Sometimes material may appear online that infringes rights or is considered unlawful. This Takedown Policy explains how to submit a notice and how we respond. We follow Dutch notice-and-takedown practice and take copyright, portrait rights, trademark rights, and GDPR privacy rules into account.

1) The Core in Three Rules

  • If you see material that appears unlawful or infringing, send us a notice with evidence.
  • You will receive confirmation within two business days, and we will begin our review.
  • If the complaint is credible, we will temporarily remove or block the material until a final decision is made.

2) Definitions

  • Business day: Monday through Friday in the Netherlands, excluding official holidays.
  • Infringing material: content that may violate copyright, portrait rights, trademarks, other rights, or the law.
  • Examples include an illustration copied without a license, a recognizable face used without permission, or a registered logo used as an icon.
  • Notice: your written message with details about the alleged infringement.
  • Reporter / provider: the person who reports the issue / the person who placed the content.

3) What to Include in a Notice

  • Your name and contact details.
  • The exact location of the content, including URLs and, if possible, a screenshot.
  • The reason for the infringement, briefly and clearly, such as copyright or portrait rights.
  • Proof of rights or authorization, such as registration, license, contract, or creator statement.
  • A good-faith statement that the use is not authorized and that your information is accurate.
  • Your preferred solution: removal, replacement, credit, or a licensing option.

These details help us assess the notice quickly and carefully.

4) How We Respond

  • Confirmation within two business days.
  • Preliminary review to determine whether the notice is credible and legally supportable.
  • Temporary action if appropriate, such as disabling access to the material.
  • Message to the provider if a third party placed the material, requesting their response and evidence.
  • Final decision sent to you in writing with next steps.

5) Possible Outcomes

  • No infringement: the content remains online.
  • Removal or blocking: temporary or permanent.
  • Replacement or adjustment: only the infringing parts are changed.
  • License solution: a new agreement, free or paid, with correct credit.

If the matter becomes legal, the content remains offline until the parties, lawyers, or a Dutch court provide clarity.

6) Specific Situations

  • Copyright: if you are the creator and your work was posted without permission, send proof.
  • Portrait rights: if you are recognizable in an image and it harms your interests, include a screenshot and explanation.
  • Trademark or logos: send proof of registration or authorization. We remove misleading uses quickly.
  • Personal data: explain why the data is shown unlawfully. We follow GDPR and remove or anonymize data where needed.

7) Counter-Notice by the Provider

If your content was removed and you believe publication is lawful, send us your reasoning, supporting evidence, and contact details. We will reconsider within a reasonable period and restore the content if allowed.

8) Privacy and Data Processing

We process only the minimum personal data needed to handle your notice correctly. Data is stored securely and only as long as needed for evidence or legal obligations. For more information about your rights, please see our Privacy Policy.
