Copyright & Takedowns

How rights holders can ask us to remove lyrics or other material, and how we handle it.

Last updated November 5, 2026

Reporting an infringement

If you own the rights to lyrics or other material on Tone, or act for the owner, and want it removed, write to [email protected] with:

  • the work you hold rights in (for lyrics: the song, its authors and the publisher);
  • the address of each page on Tone where it appears (for example tone.tr/en/song/…);
  • your name, organisation, postal address and e-mail;
  • a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the rights holder or the law;
  • a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them;
  • your physical or electronic signature.

What we do

  • We confirm that we received your notice and review it, usually within 3 business days.
  • When it is complete and valid, we take the material down. For lyrics, the text is removed and no longer searchable; the song's page stays, with its title, artists and credits, and says the lyrics were removed at the rights holder's request.
  • Cards and profile shares that show the removed material are removed as well.
  • Where we can, we tell the person who shared the material.

If your material was removed by mistake

If something you shared was removed and you believe that was a mistake, write to [email protected] explaining why, with your contact details. We will review it and may restore it, informing the person who complained.

Repeat infringement

We close the accounts of people who repeatedly share material that infringes others' rights.

Other requests

The same address takes requests about your personal data (see the Privacy Policy), reports of abuse, and anything else: [email protected].
