Copyright policy

Effective November 7, 2026

If an entry on QRvote uses your photo or other work without permission, tell us and we’ll take it down.

Quick removal

Use the Report link on the contest or entry and choose “It’s my photo or work”. Include how to reach you. That’s usually the fastest way.

Formal notice (DMCA)

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512), send a written notice to our designated agent that includes:

Your physical or electronic signature.
The copyrighted work you believe is infringed.
Where it appears on QRvote (the contest link and entry).
Your name, address, phone number and email.
A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn’t authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Designated agent

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or you have permission, send a counter-notice to the same agent with: your signature; the content and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, outside the U.S., any district where we may be found). Unless the complainant files suit within 10–14 business days, we may restore it.

Repeat infringers

We remove the ability to run contests on QRvote for people who repeatedly infringe copyrights.

Quiz question bank credits

Quizzes can use ready-made questions. QRvote’s own starter packs are original and free to use. Other questions come from Open Trivia DB, licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. We changed them: text decoded, answer options shuffled, and questions that date, refer to images or use “all/none of the above” left out. Those questions stay under CC BY-SA 4.0, and every quiz that uses them says so.
