DMCA and Copyright Takedown Policy

Last Updated: May 15, 2026

If someone copies and distributes TinyFirm’s proprietary files without authorization, this policy explains how TinyFirm will respond. We use the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) takedown process to get unauthorized copies removed.
