Castle Content Copyright & DMCA Framework
Castle functions as a high-performance navigational utility and neutral content aggregator. Our application serves as a passive conduit, indexing and presenting digital pointers to media content that is publicly available on the World Wide Web. Castle functions as an automated content discovery and indexing utility. All media referenced through our interface is sourced from publicly accessible third-party servers, over which Castle exercises no editorial control or ownership.
1.Commitment to Creators and Safe Harbor Status
We recognize the significant investment required to produce quality media. Castle is committed to supporting the rights of content creators, including major Indian film studios and global sports organizations. We operate in strict compliance with Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, 2000, which grants safe harbor protection to intermediaries that do not initiate or modify the content they transmit.
By acting as a "Search Index," we ensure that rights holders can manage their intellectual assets effectively. We strictly adhere to the Copyright Ordinance and international DMCA protocols to ensure our platform remains a safe and legal environment for content discovery.
2.Notification Standards for Removal
If you are a rights holder or an authorized agent and believe that a link indexed by Castle infringes upon your copyright, you must provide a comprehensive notification. To avoid processing delays, please include:
