Copyright & DMCA Policy

Last updated: May 9, 2026

Hungrrry respects intellectual property rights. We respond to valid notices of claimed infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and equivalent laws.

What is infringing

Photographs of pages from cookbooks, magazines, or other copyrighted publications.
Full recipe text copied verbatim from a copyrighted source.
Photos taken from another website, blog, or social account without a license.

Saving a link to a publicly available recipe is generally not infringement — republishing the recipe's photos or text usually is.

Submit a takedown notice

To report content, send an email containing all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
The exact URL or location of the material on Hungrrry.
Your contact information (name, address, phone, email).
A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send your notice to dmca@hungrrry.app. We will review and, if valid, remove the content promptly.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the same address with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

Repeat infringers

Accounts that repeatedly post infringing content will be suspended or terminated.

Recipe publishers — opt out of Discover

If you publish recipes and you'd rather your URLs not appear in the Hungrrry Discover pool, you can opt out at any time. We store only the public URL, the page title, and the og:image (the share thumbnail your site exposes); we never copy recipe text, ingredients, or photographs, and Discover always sends users back to your site to read the recipe.

Submit a request via the publisher opt-out form or email dmca@hungrrry.app. We honor opt-out requests within 24 hours and add the URL or domain to an exclusion list so it isn't re-ingested later.
