Notice and takedown
How to report that content served by GrantCortex infringes your rights.
GrantCortex serves its own content (aggregated grant data structured from public sources) and does not host user-generated content from third parties. The procedure below is therefore a voluntary rights-holder channel — not a DSA (2022/2065) obligation — giving source rights-holders and data subjects a fast, good-faith route to raise an objection.
1. Where to write
Rights-holder / takedown notices: info@grantcortex.eu — please use the subject line "Takedown".
2. What the notice should contain
To process your notice quickly, please provide:
- the notice-giver’s name and contact details (so we can reach you);
- the legal basis of the objection (e.g. copyright, database right, data protection, inaccuracy);
- precise identification of the contested material — where it appears in GrantCortex (record id, source URL, screenshot);
- the action requested (removal, correction, restoring attribution);
- a good-faith statement that the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act.
3. What happens next
- We acknowledge receipt of your notice.
- We review routine claims on a best-effort basis within 7 days and remove or correct the material.
- Manifestly illegal content is handled without delay.
- Each record carries its source and a checksum, so a contested item can be located and withdrawn precisely.
4. Counter-notice
If you believe content was removed in error (e.g. the source is openly licensed and attribution was present), write to the address above with your reasons; we will review and — if justified — restore it.
5. Repeat infringement
Repeatedly unfounded or abusive notices, and repeated infringing use of the service, are taken into account and may result in restricted access.
