Last updated 28.10.25

This Takedown Policy explains the process for requesting the removal or amendment of any material published on this Website.

It sets out how such requests are handled, the timeframes involved, and the rights and responsibilities of all parties.

The Policy aims to ensure that legitimate concerns are addressed promptly, fairly, and in accordance with applicable UK laws.

A. General

This website (“Site”) is operated by Bradley Leivars (“Owner”).

While every effort is made to ensure that all content on this Site is original, appropriately licensed, and lawfully published, there may be rare occasions where a third party believes that their rights have been infringed or that certain content should not appear on the Site for legal or ethical reasons.

This Takedown Policy (“Policy”) outlines the procedure to request the removal or amendment of any material published on this Site. It aims to balance legitimate third-party rights with the importance of maintaining a fair, transparent, and proportionate review process.

The Owner reserves the right to remove or amend content from the Site at their discretion for legal, professional, or administrative reasons. However, content will not normally be removed without adequate evidence and due consideration.

This Policy applies to all materials hosted on this Site, including text, images, video, downloadable documents, and embedded third-party content.

If you believe, in good faith, that any material hosted on this Site infringes your rights or breaches applicable law, please follow the process below. All complaints will be examined carefully and fairly.

B. Take-down Procedure

If you wish to request that any material on this Site be taken down or amended, please submit a formal request via email to the address below, providing all relevant details and supporting evidence.

Email: bradleyleivars@gmail.com
Subject line: Takedown Request – [Brief Description of Content]

Please include the following information in your complaint:

  1. Your full name, organisation (if applicable), and contact details.
  2. A clear description or URL of the content you wish to have removed or amended.

  4. Evidence supporting your claim, including proof of ownership or authorisation, where applicable.
  5. A statement confirming that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorised to act on behalf of the rights holder (if applicable).

If assistance is needed in submitting a complaint, please get in touch via the same email address.

The Owner will acknowledge receipt of the complaint within three (3) working days.
If there appears to be sufficient evidence to warrant temporary action, the relevant content may be temporarily suspended within seven (7) working days of acknowledgement while the matter is reviewed.

Temporary removal does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing or liability.

C. Review and Resolution Process

The Owner will review the complaint carefully and aim to reach a resolution within twenty-eight (28) working days of acknowledging receipt.

Possible outcomes include (but are not limited to):

  • The content remains unchanged.
  • The content is amended or credited appropriately.
  • The content is permanently removed from the Site.

Where possible, the Owner will seek to resolve complaints amicably and transparently. It is the responsibility of the complainant to provide all evidence required to substantiate their claim.

D. Complaints Management

Upon receipt of a valid complaint:

  • The Owner will acknowledge the complaint within 3 working days.
  • The content in question may be temporarily removed during the review period if appropriate.
  • A full review will be undertaken, and all parties will be informed of the outcome once a decision is reached.

E. Data Protection and False Claims

Any personal data provided as part of a complaint will be handled securely and used solely for the purpose of investigating and resolving the issue, in accordance with applicable UK data protection laws.

Please note that knowingly submitting false or misleading claims may result in appropriate action being taken.

F. Jurisdiction

This Policy and any disputes arising from it are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
