Copyright and takedowns
Last updated: 23 September 2026
Everything on Ching Ching is made by the people who use it: live streams, replays, photos, community posts and messages. We do not check it in advance, and we remove content that infringes someone else's copyright when we are told about it. This page says how to tell us, what happens next, and what to do if we got it wrong. It forms part of our Terms of Service and our Community Guidelines.
Reporting infringement
Send your notice to copyright@chingching.app. To act on it we need all of the following, so please do not leave anything out:
- Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
- What is being infringed: describe the work, and link to it where it can be seen legitimately.
- Where it is on Ching Ching: the creator's username plus the stream, replay, message or photo, with enough detail for us to find exactly that content.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, their agent or the law.
- A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and, on penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
A report you send from inside the app (Report on a stream, a message or a profile) reaches the same team, but a copyright claim needs the details above, so send those by email.
What we do with a notice
- We aim to look at every notice within two working days.
- If the notice is complete and the claim holds up, we remove or disable the content and tell the person who posted it, including a copy of the notice.
- We keep a record of the notice, what we removed and when.
- We take repeat infringement seriously: an account that keeps infringing is suspended, and then permanently closed.
If we removed your content and you disagree
Write to copyright@chingching.app with a counter notice: your name, address, telephone number and email, what was removed and where it was, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your consent to the jurisdiction of the courts where you live or, outside the United States, of the courts of the Netherlands, and your signature. We pass a counter notice to the person who complained. Where the law requires it we may restore the content after ten working days, unless they tell us they have gone to court.
Misuse
A notice that knowingly misrepresents that something infringes can make you liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. Please do not use this route for something that is really a dispute about money, a contract or a bad review: for those, write to info@chingching.app.

Using other people's work on Ching Ching
Play only what you are allowed to play. Recorded music, films, sports broadcasts, games and other people's video are all protected, and a stream that uses them can be taken down even when the stream is free. If you are not sure whether you have permission, assume you do not.
