Data Removal Policy

At hotpepperz.be, we care deeply about your privacy, safety, and rights. We follow all relevant privacy and copyright laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and international copyright standards.

This page explains how you can request the removal of personal information or copyrighted content from our platform.

1. Personal Data Removal (Right to Be Forgotten)

Under the GDPR, you have the right to ask for your personal data to be deleted from hotpepperz.be. We review and respond to all valid requests as quickly as possible.

To request data removal, please contact us using our contact form or by email and include the following details:

Your full name (as it appears on the profile or listing)
The email address used when registering your account (for verification)
Direct link(s) to the page(s) or profile you’d like removed
Proof of identity (if we need to confirm you’re the rightful owner)

We usually respond within 7 business days.

If your request involves impersonation, non-consensual content, or privacy violations, we may take the content down right away while we verify your information.

2. Copyright and Intellectual Property Complaints

If you believe that something on hotpepperz.be uses your copyrighted material without permission, you can send us a copyright infringement notice (under the DMCA or similar laws).

Please include the following details in your message:

A description of the original work that you own
The exact URL(s) where the copied or infringing content appears
Your name, company (if applicable), and contact details
A statement of good faith that the use of your content is not authorized
A statement under penalty of perjury confirming that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder (or authorized to act for them)
Your physical or electronic signature

Copyright complaints can be sent by email. We aim to handle all valid requests within 7 business days.

3. When We Can’t Immediately Remove Content

In some cases, we may need to delay or limit removal requests. This can happen if:

There’s an active law enforcement request or investigation
The content involves suspected minors or identity verification is still in progress
The request is fraudulent, abusive, or unverifiable

If that happens, we’ll let you know and explain what’s needed to move forward.

4. Contact Us
