DMCA Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
Kotatso.com respects intellectual property rights and takes legitimate copyright concerns seriously.
This DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners or their authorized representatives can contact us if they believe that copyrighted material has been used on Kotatso.com without appropriate authorization.
Kotatso.com is an independent informational resource covering the Kotatsu manga reader for Android. We publish original guides, documentation, feature explanations, installation information, comparisons, and related content.
01 — What We Host
What This Site Does and Does Not Host
Kotatso.com primarily publishes original informational and editorial content about the Kotatsu application.
Our website may contain:
- Original written articles
- Installation guides
- Feature documentation
- App comparisons
- General informational content
- Links to external websites and resources
Kotatso.com does not operate or control the third-party manga sources that may be accessible through the Kotatsu application.
Kotatsu itself connects to third-party sources rather than directly hosting manga content. The availability and content of those external sources can vary independently of this website.
Important: If your copyright concern relates to material hosted on a third-party website rather than content published directly on Kotatso.com, you should generally contact the website or service hosting that material.

03 — What Happens After a Notice
Review Process
After receiving a copyright complaint, we may take the following steps:
1 — Receipt
We review the submitted notice to determine whether it contains sufficient information to identify the copyright work and the material being complained about.
2 — Review
We review the URL or URLs identified in the notice and consider the information provided.
3 — Appropriate Action
If a notice is valid and the identified material requires action, we may remove or disable access to the relevant content as appropriate.
4 — Communication
Where appropriate, we may contact the reporting party if additional information is required or communicate the outcome of the review.
The timing of any action may depend on the completeness of the notice, the nature of the complaint, and applicable legal requirements.
04 — Counter-Notice
Counter-Notice Process
If material published on Kotatso.com has been removed or access has been disabled following a copyright complaint, the affected party may have the right to submit a counter-notification where applicable.
A valid counter-notice should generally include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its previous location
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, any restoration of material will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances of the complaint.
05 — Third-Party Sources
Content Hosted Elsewhere
Kotatsu can connect users with third-party manga sources. Those websites operate independently from Kotatso.com.
If your complaint concerns manga, images, chapters, or other material hosted on one of those external websites, Kotatso.com may not be able to remove the material because we do not operate or control the external source.
In such cases, please contact the website or service that hosts the material directly.
Kotatso.com cannot remove content from a third-party website that we do not control.
06 — Repeat Infringement
Repeat Infringer Policy
We take repeated copyright infringement concerns seriously.
Where applicable and appropriate, Kotatso.com may take reasonable measures concerning users or contributors who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights.
Any action will be considered according to the circumstances and applicable legal requirements.
07 — False Notices
False or Misleading DMCA Notices
Copyright notices should only be submitted when the reporting party has a genuine good-faith basis for believing that copyright infringement has occurred.
Knowingly submitting materially false or misleading information in a copyright notification or counter-notification may result in legal consequences under applicable law.
Please do not submit a copyright complaint simply because you disagree with an article, review, opinion, or other lawful use of copyrighted material.
