Copyright and DMCA Policy

This Copyright and DMCA Policy (this “Policy”) explains how Tranzio responds to notices of claimed copyright infringement and to concerns raised by rights holders. The Service is operated by Tranzio LLC, a limited liability company registered in the country of Georgia (“we”, “us”, or “our”). We respect the intellectual property of others and expect everyone who uses the Service to do the same. This Policy forms part of, and is incorporated by reference into, our Terms of Service, and the terms defined there have the same meaning here.

Before going further, it is important to understand how Tranzio works. Tranzio does not store, host, copy, or distribute any original game files or assets of any kind — including text, audio, fonts, or anything else. Nothing from any game is kept on our servers. To create or apply a translation, you must already own, and have installed on your own device, the software you are localizing. Content shared through the Service contains only user-created localization content — the translated text and audio a creator made — and applying or downloading any shared translation also requires the recipient to own the underlying software. Downloading a translation is always free.

Tranzio LLC is a limited liability company registered in the country of Georgia. We follow the notice-and-takedown procedure described below — which is modeled on the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512 — so that rights holders everywhere have a clear and reliable way to reach us, and we have designated the copyright agent identified in section 3 below to receive notices of claimed infringement. The fastest and preferred way to reach us about copyright is by email at legal@tranzio.studio.

1. Our Commitment

Translations shared through the Service are user-generated content created and uploaded by users, not by Tranzio. We do not pre-screen, review, approve, or monitor that content before it is shared, and we have no general obligation to monitor it. Instead, we respond to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement and take appropriate action with respect to user-created localization content shared through the Service. Where content shared through the Service infringes the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of any person — or includes content the creator does not have the rights to use — we will block or remove it, and we may suspend or terminate the account responsible. Anyone can report a translation using the in-app report button or by emailing us at support@tranzio.studio; copyright and DMCA matters should be sent to legal@tranzio.studio. We review reports as quickly as is reasonably possible.

2. Rights Holders and Game Developers

If you are a rights holder, or a developer with a concern about a translation that relates to your game or your content, we want to hear from you. Please contact us at legal@tranzio.studio or support@tranzio.studio and we will review your concern and, where appropriate, remove or block the content at your request. You do not need to file a formal legal notice for us to look into a good-faith concern, though a clear description of the content and your relationship to the affected work helps us act quickly.

We want to reiterate, because it matters: Tranzio stores and distributes no original game files or assets. The translation layer that a creator makes and applies on their own device never supplies, contains, or replaces any original game file. The localization content shared through the Service consists solely of the translated text and audio a creator produced. We will always cooperate with rights holders to remove user-created content that infringes their rights.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Tranzio LLC has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512). Notices should be sent to:

Email: legal@tranzio.studio

4. Filing a Copyright Notice

If you believe that user-created content available through the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send us a written notice by email to legal@tranzio.studio. Email is the fastest way to reach us, and including a plain-text version of your notice in the body of your message is appreciated even if you also attach a file. Please provide all information in English. To be effective, your notice should include the following:

• an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right that is allegedly infringed;
• identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed;
• a description of where the allegedly infringing content is located, in enough detail that we can find it (for example, the project, translation, or in-app location);
• your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Please note that under applicable law you may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, if you knowingly make a material misrepresentation that content is infringing.

5. Counter-Notification

If your content was removed or blocked and you believe this happened as a result of a mistake or a misidentification, you may send us a counter-notification by email to legal@tranzio.studio. To be effective, your counter-notification should include the following:

• your electronic or physical signature;
• identification of the content that was removed or blocked and the location where it appeared before it was removed or blocked;
• a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed or blocked as a result of a mistake or a misidentification of the content;
• your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the judicial district in which your address is located, or — if your address is outside the United States — to the competent courts of Georgia (the country) and to any judicial district in which we may be found; and
• a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice of claimed infringement, or from that person’s agent.

After we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the person who filed the original notice. Unless that person notifies us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity at issue, we may restore the removed or blocked content. As with notices, please provide all information in English.

6. Repeat Infringers

We may suspend or terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others. We may also remove or block content, and limit access to the Service, where we reasonably consider it necessary to comply with the law or to protect the rights of others.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice. Please review this page periodically.

8. Contact

Notices of claimed infringement, counter-notifications, and any questions about this Policy should be sent to legal@tranzio.studio. For general reports and other questions about the Service, you can also reach us at support@tranzio.studio.
