Copyright and content removal
Effective 1 September 2026
Amiora teaches languages with video that already exists on YouTube. If you hold rights in something you have found in the app and you want it gone, this page is how you tell us — and we act on notices that meet the requirements below.
What Amiora does with a video
We never hold a copy. Every video plays through YouTube’s official embedded player, streamed from YouTube to the viewer’s device. We do not download, re-host, or redistribute the video or its audio, there is no offline playback, and nothing is stored on our servers or on the viewer’s device.
The uploader keeps control. A YouTube uploader who disables embedding on a video makes that video unplayable in Amiora — immediately, and without asking us. That switch is YouTube’s and the uploader’s, not ours.
What we do create is the teaching layer over the video: a transcript, word timings, vocabulary links, translations, and a difficulty rating, made so that a learner can study the language being spoken. Watching video in Amiora is free — a subscription buys the AI tutor, not access to anyone’s video.
Asking us to remove something
Send a notice to [email protected]. To be actionable it needs all of the following — the form below assembles them for you:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say is being infringed
- Identification of the material you are asking us to remove, specific enough for us to find it — the YouTube URL of the video as it appears in Amiora
- Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or the law
- A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the rights holder or authorized to act for them
A notice that leaves out the specific video, or that does not include the two statements, is one we may have to come back to you about before we can act.
What happens next
We aim to acknowledge a complete notice within a few business days. Where we act, we unpublish the video across every environment that holds it and delete the teaching layer we built over it. Because we never held the video itself, removal is immediate and complete on our side — there is no copy anywhere for us to purge.
We may forward a copy of your notice, including your contact details, to the uploader of the content. Tell us if that is a problem before you send it.
If you think we removed something wrongly
If your content was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, write to [email protected] with the video, your contact details, and a statement under penalty of perjury explaining why. We will review it and restore the video if the counter-notice holds up.
Repeat infringers
We remove content from sources that repeatedly draw valid notices, and we do not re-add it. When Amiora later lets people add their own videos, an account that repeatedly submits infringing material will lose the ability to add them.
Videos added by learners, in future
A future version of Amiora will let you add a YouTube video yourself and have the app build captions and the language layer for your own study. The rules on this page apply to those videos too, and the removal route stays exactly the same one.
Send a notice
Fill this in and it will assemble a complete notice and open it in your email app, so it arrives signed from an address you control. You can also copy the text and send it however you prefer.
Anything else
