This Copyright and Takedown Policy explains how you can request the removal of content from Wochenanalyse.de if you believe it infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights. We take intellectual property seriously and aim to respond to all valid takedown requests promptly. This page also covers our approach to image rights and your obligations when submitting a request.
What content does this policy cover?
This policy covers all original content published on Wochenanalyse.de, including text, photographs, illustrations, graphics, videos, and audio material, as well as user comments and third‑party contributions where we have editorial control.
All editorial content is produced by our team or licensed from rights holders. We do not knowingly publish material that violates copyright. If you believe your work has been used without permission, please follow the procedure described below. For a full overview of our editorial standards, see our Editorial Policy.
How do I report a copyright infringement?
To report a copyright infringement, send a written notice to copyright@wochenanalyse.de with your full contact details, a description of the work infringed, the exact URL of the allegedly infringing material, and a statement of good faith belief that the use is not authorised.
Your notice must be signed (electronic signature accepted) and include a declaration that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act on their behalf. We will review the notice and, if valid, remove or disable access to the material within a reasonable time. We may forward the notice to the user who posted the content and allow them to submit a counter‑notice. Please refer to our Terms of Use for further details on user obligations. We also advise you to consult our Editorial Policy to understand our editorial standards.
What about image rights?
Image rights are treated as copyright under this policy. If you are a photographer, illustrator, or subject of an image and believe your rights have been infringed, please use the same takedown procedure described above.
We source images from licensed stock agencies, direct agreements with photographers, and public domain where appropriate. If you believe an image has been misattributed or used without a valid licence, please contact us with details. We will investigate and take appropriate action, which may include removal or adding proper credit.
How this works in practice
Imagine you are a photographer who discovers one of your images used in an article on Wochenanalyse.de without a credit or licence. You would send a takedown notice to copyright@wochenanalyse.de including the article URL, your contact information, and evidence of ownership.
Our editorial team, led by Chefredaktör Peter Weber, will acknowledge receipt within two business days, verify the claim, and either remove the image or contact you to resolve the issue — for example by purchasing a retroactive licence or providing proper attribution. If we cannot verify your claim, we may ask for additional proof. Throughout the process, we keep both parties informed and aim for a fair outcome.
