Take-down Procedure
If you believe that your copyrighted material has been infringed on the Platform, you are required to send a valid take-down notice (in the form prescribed by the Hong Kong Copyright Act 2021) to the designated DFT email.
Upon receipt of a valid take-down notice, DFT will take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the material in accordance with the Copyright Act.

DFT will then take reasonable steps to restore the material if it is technically and practically feasible to do so, unless the copyright owner commences court proceedings to prevent the restoration of the material and DFT is informed of such proceedings.
