Copyright and Takedown Requests

How to ask us to review or remove material on GeekyBar that you own.

Last updated: 10 November 2026

In short: if you own an image, video or text that appears on GeekyBar and you have not allowed us to use it, tell us through our contact page with the details listed below. We will review your request and remove or replace the material where appropriate.

Our content

Unless stated otherwise, the articles and original material on GeekyBar (geekybar.com) are owned by Social Sutra Group, which operates the site. You can share links and quote short extracts with credit and a link back, as set out in our Terms and Conditions. For any other use, please ask us first through our contact page.

Third-party material on GeekyBar

As an entertainment news site, we sometimes use posters, stills, promotional photos, screenshots, quotes and social media posts that belong to others. We use this material to report on, review and comment on the news, and we try to credit the source where we can. We respect the rights of creators and copyright owners, and we will act on valid requests.

How to send a takedown request

Use our contact page, choose “Something else” as the topic and put “Copyright takedown” in the subject. To help us act quickly, please include:

  1. Your full name, organisation if any, and an email address we can reply to.
  2. A description of the work you own, such as the photo, video or article, and where it was originally published.
  3. The full link or links to the page or pages on GeekyBar where the material appears.
  4. Information that shows you own the material or are authorised to act for the owner.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in your request is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.
  7. Your name typed as your signature.

What happens next

We review every complete request. Where appropriate, we will remove the material, replace it or add the credit you ask for, and we will let you know what we have done. If we need more information to process your request, we will contact you. Incomplete requests may take longer to resolve.

If your content was removed

If material you supplied to GeekyBar was removed and you believe this was a mistake, or that you have the right to use it, contact us with the link, an explanation and any supporting information. We will review it and, where appropriate, restore the material.

Embedded posts and videos

Some content, such as YouTube videos and posts from Instagram or X, is embedded from those platforms and hosted by them, not by GeekyBar. If the original post is removed from the platform, it will stop showing on our site. You can also report infringing content directly to the platform that hosts it.

Please use this process honestly

Only send a request if you own the material or are authorised to act for the owner. Requests that are false or made in bad faith may be ignored, and may have legal consequences under applicable law.
