If something of yours is on Yami and shouldn't be.

Last updated: 5 May 2026

Yami takes copyright seriously. If you believe content on Yami infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to enforce, this page explains how to report it, what we do with the report, and how the person who saved the content can respond.

1. Background

Most content on Yami is saved by users for their own personal cookbook — a screenshot of a TikTok, an Instagram reel, a recipe from a food blog. Saved recipes are private to the user who saved them, except where that user has invited a small household-circle to a shared collection (max 6 people; see the Terms for details). A small "Popular Recipes" section on the home tab is created by Yami itself and consists of original AI-generated recipes — not republications of anyone else's work.

Even so, mistakes happen. If you find your work somewhere it shouldn't be — write to us and we'll act.

2. How to send a takedown notice

Email support@yamiapp.eu with the subject line "Copyright takedown". To act on the notice, we need all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name at the bottom of an email is fine).
A description of the copyrighted work you say is being infringed — or a representative list, if there are several.
Enough information to locate the infringing material on Yami: a URL, a recipe title, a screenshot, or another precise pointer. Screenshots are very helpful and we strongly encourage them.
Your contact details: full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Any documentation that helps us evaluate the claim — for instance, registration numbers, a link to where the original was first published, or evidence of authorship.

Notices that are missing required elements may be returned for completion before we begin investigation.

3. What we'll do

We aim to reach a determination within 30 business days of receiving a complete notice. We may write to ask for additional information or proof, and we may set a reasonable deadline for that information.

4. Possible outcomes

After investigation, we may take any of the following actions:

Permanent or temporary removal of some or all of the disputed content.
Geographic limitation — for example, removing content only in jurisdictions where it appears infringing.
Further investigation, including writing to the user who saved the content for their input.
Where appropriate, referral to law enforcement or to legal counsel.

We may remove content for reasons beyond what's described in the notice, and we may decide not to share the full reasoning behind a decision.

5. Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice. Email support@yamiapp.eu with the subject "Copyright counter-notice" and include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts in your area, and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If they do not file a court action seeking a restraining order against the user within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed material.

6. Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly upload infringing content.

7. Anti-abuse

We do not tolerate false, misleading, computer-generated, or bulk takedown notices. If you knowingly materially misrepresent that material on Yami is infringing — or that material was wrongly removed — you may be held liable for damages, including legal fees, under section 512(f) of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act and analogous provisions in other jurisdictions.

8. Notices outside DMCA jurisdictions

We accept takedown notices from rights holders worldwide, not just under the DMCA. If you are submitting under EU copyright law, the Swedish Upphovsrättslagen, the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, or any other regime, please use the same nine-element format as section 2 above and reference the law you are relying on. We treat all notices on the merits.

9. Who to contact

The designated agent for copyright notices is:

Adam Bergman Karlsson (operator of Yami)
Sweden
support@yamiapp.eu

For everything else — general questions, feedback, account issues — write to the same address. There's only one inbox; one human reads it.

10. Definitions

"Content" means anything provided through the Yami iOS app, the share extension, the yamiapp.eu website, or any other Yami service: text, photographs, recipes, ingredient lists, cooking instructions, video frames, audio, designs, marks, and so on.

11. Updates

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. We act reasonably when applying it, and we ask the same of anyone using it.
