Lageanalyse24 (lageanalyse24.de) is published by Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd., a private company registered in Gibraltar (company number C 92009, Malta Business Registry) with its registered office at Office 9, Business Centre, Valletta, 0000. The editor‑in‑chief, Maximilian Möller, holds overall responsibility for editorial standards and publication decisions, including compliance with copyright law. This policy explains how we handle copyright, image rights, and takedown requests, and it forms part of our broader Terms of Use.
Who is responsible for copyright and takedown requests?
The editor‑in‑chief, Maximilian Möller, together with the fact‑checking team led by Sophie Zimmermann, oversees all copyright‑related matters. Takedown requests should be sent to copyright@lageanalyse24.de, which is monitored by the legal and editorial departments. The company’s registered owner, Lageanalyse2 Media Ltd., retains ultimate liability for compliance with copyright law across all jurisdictions in which the site is accessible.
What types of content are covered by this policy?
This policy covers all original editorial content published on lageanalyse24.de, including text, photographs, illustrations, videos, infographics, audio clips, databases, and user‑generated content such as comments. It also applies to syndicated material that we license from third parties. The protections described here extend to digital versions of our articles, social media extracts, and newsletter editions. Any content that appears on our site falls under the scope of this policy regardless of the medium.
How do we handle image rights and attribution?
All images and visual media used on lageanalyse24.de are either created by our editorial team, obtained under a valid licence from stock agencies, or used with explicit permission from the rights holder. Every image carries a credit line in its alt text or caption where attribution is required by the licence. If you believe an image on our site infringes your copyright, please contact us immediately at copyright@lageanalyse24.de so that we can review and, if necessary, remove it.
Our editorial policy, detailed in our Editorial Policy, requires that we never publish an image without a clear chain of provenance. We also maintain a register of all visual assets and their licence terms. In cases where attribution is omitted accidentally, we will correct the credit within one business day of being notified.
How can you submit a takedown request?
To submit a takedown request, please send an email to copyright@lageanalyse24.de with the subject line “Takedown Request”. Your message must include the following information: a clear description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed; the exact URL or location of the alleged infringement on our site; your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good‑faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the request is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner’s behalf; and your physical or electronic signature.
We will acknowledge receipt of your request within 48 hours. Incomplete requests may delay processing. All valid takedown requests are reviewed by our legal team and, where appropriate, by the editor‑in‑chief. We reserve the right to forward a copy of the request to the original publisher of the content if we believe the claim is mistaken.
What happens after we receive a valid takedown request?
Upon verification of a valid takedown request, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material within two business days. We will then notify the person or entity that originally submitted the content (if identifiable) and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice. A record of the removal is kept for at least six months for audit purposes. If the request is later found to be invalid — for example, because the use qualifies as fair dealing or the claimant does not hold the rights — we may restore the content after notifying the complainant.
Our Contact page provides additional ways to reach our legal team for urgent inquiries.
How do we address counter‑notifications?
If you believe that content you provided was removed in error or misidentification, you may submit a counter‑notification to copyright@lageanalyse24.de. Your counter‑notification must include your name, address, telephone number, a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts of Gibraltar (or, if outside Gibraltar, the courts of Malta), a description of the material removed and its location before removal, and your electronic or physical signature. We will forward the counter‑notification to the original complainant and, if they do not file a court action within ten business days, we may reinstate the material.
