APK Guru respects intellectual property, and we expect anyone contributing content to the site to do the same. This page explains how copyright owners can report material they believe infringes their rights and how we review those reports.
We publish informational content about Android apps, games, APK files, reviews, screenshots, and installation guidance. We don’t claim ownership of third-party apps, logos, trademarks, or screenshots unless we say otherwise.
Filing a Copyright Complaint
If you’re the copyright owner, or authorized to act on their behalf, you can send us a written notice identifying the material you believe is being used without permission. To help us review it properly, please include:
✔ Your full name and contact information, including email
✔ A clear description of the copyrighted work involved
✔ The exact URL(s) on APK Guru where the material appears
✔ A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law
✔ A statement that the information you’re providing is accurate and that you’re the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf
✔ Your physical or electronic signature
Incomplete or unclear notices may take longer to process, since we might need to follow up for more information.
How to Send It
Submit your complaint through our Contact page, with a subject line like “DMCA Copyright Complaint,” and include all the relevant URLs and details about the copyrighted work. If you’re writing on behalf of a company, using an official business email can help us verify the request faster.
What Happens Next
Once we receive a sufficiently detailed complaint, we’ll review the reported content and the information you’ve provided. Depending on what we find, we may:
✔ Review the page or material in question.
✔ Temporarily restrict access to it while we look into it
✔ Reach out to you or the content contributor for more information.
✔ Correct, replace, disable, or remove the material if the claim checks out
Submitting a complaint doesn’t automatically guarantee removal—each one is reviewed based on the details provided and the circumstances.
Counter-Notifications
If something you submitted was removed because of a copyright complaint and you believe it happened by mistake or misidentification, you can send a counter-notification. It should generally include:
✔ Your full name and current contact information
✔ Identification of the material that was removed
✔ The URL where it used to appear
✔ A statement explaining why you believe the removal was a mistake
✔ Any other legally required statements
✔ Your physical or electronic signature
Since counter-notifications involve legal rights, it’s worth getting advice from a qualified professional before filing one.
Third-Party Apps, Logos, and Trademarks
We write about Android apps, games, developers, and platforms that belong to other companies. App names, logos, screenshots, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners, and their appearance on APK Guru doesn’t imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement. We use this kind of material for commentary, review, comparison, or identification—if a rights holder feels it’s been used improperly, we’re happy to have that reviewed.
Links to Other Sites
Some articles link to external developer pages, app stores, or download resources. These sites run independently of us, and a link doesn’t mean we own or control what’s hosted there. If your concern is about content hosted entirely on a third-party website, you may need to reach out to that site’s operator or host directly.
Repeated Concerns
Where appropriate, we may take stronger action—including removing or restricting content—if something under our control keeps generating valid copyright complaints.
File Your Complaint Honestly
Copyright complaints should be made in good faith. Knowingly filing a false or misleading claim can carry real legal consequences, so before submitting a notice, make sure you have a genuine, reasonable basis for believing you own the rights in question or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Our Commitment
We don’t intentionally publish material to infringe on someone else’s copyright, and we aim to respond properly whenever a legitimate concern is raised. If you believe something on APK Guru infringes your rights, reach out with enough detail for us to find and review it.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this page as our site, legal requirements, or editorial practices change. If we make a significant update, we’ll revise the date at the top.
