Security & Data

Effective Date: [1/1/2024]

Security Policy

Our utmost priority at Live&Signed is to safeguard your data and privacy. We maintain a steadfast commitment to this objective. To achieve this, we employ reasonable and suitable physical, technical, and administrative measures to ensure that your information is protected against unauthorized access, use, loss, misuse, or alteration.

As a user of the Site, we strongly advise following these additional steps to enhance the security of your account:

Guidelines for protecting your account

Whether you are a creator or a general user of the site, you can play a vital role in preventing unauthorized access to your account and safeguarding your information. One effective measure is to select a robust and distinct password, which can be securely stored in a password manager.

It is essential to create passwords that are unique and unpredictable. Opting for a password manager provides a convenient solution, as it simplifies the process of generating and managing strong passwords. With a password manager, you can maintain different strong passwords for each of your logins without the need to memorize them all.

Choose a strong password Employing robust and unique passwords is crucial in safeguarding your most valuable data. Passwords serve as the initial line of defense against hackers employing techniques like credential stuffing and password spraying to gain unauthorized access to your personal information.

If you opt not to utilize a password manager, we suggest selecting passwords that are a minimum of 8 characters in length. It is also important to avoid using easily guessable passwords that are commonly employed, such as:

Dictionary Word or a Combination of Dictionary Words Obvious Substitutions: For example, “H0ouse” isn’t strong just because you’ve replaced an o with a 0. Recent years Dates Straight rows of keys Sequences like “abc” or “6543” Repeats like “ccc” or “abcabcabc” Short keyboard patterns Names and surnames Context like the website name

We also recommend changing your password from time to time.

What you should not do

We kindly request that you refrain from engaging in any activities that could jeopardize the security of our Site and its users. To ensure a safe and secure environment on Live&Signed.com, we ask that you avoid the following behaviours:

Personal Information Don’t distribute others’ personal information or otherwise abuse it. Creators with access to their patrons’ personal information should not use it for anything unrelated to Live&Signed.
Spam Don’t spam others or distribute unsolicited advertising material
Illegal Activities Don’t break the law or encourage others to break the law.

Our approach to security

To prioritize the security of your information, we have implemented several measures within our systems. Firstly, your full credit card number remains inaccessible to our systems. Additionally, we employ transport layer security (TLS) to encrypt highly sensitive data, including tax information. As an added layer of protection, we provide advanced security features like two-factor authentication for signing in and CAPTCHA verification in situations where suspicious activity is detected, such as login attempts from suspicious IP addresses or rapid succession login attempts.

Moreover, we ensure that all traffic between you and our platform is served over HTTPS, guaranteeing the encryption of all data transmitted. These security protocols collectively contribute to maintaining a secure environment for our users.

Dedicated security team

To ensure the highest level of security, our dedicated team of Security Engineers collaborates across the organization. Their primary responsibility is to safeguard our platform(s), service(s), and overall operations, working diligently to maintain a secure environment for our users.

Scheduling of security assessments

At Live&Signed, we conduct regular weekly vulnerability scans utilizing a range of diagnostic tools. These scans serve the purpose of identifying, assessing, mitigating, and continuously monitoring potential information security risks. By employing this proactive approach, we strive to ensure a secure and protected environment for our users and their data.

International laws in relation to data privacy

Live&Signed operates in multiple countries, each with its own set of regulations concerning data privacy and security. To ensure compliance, our legal team diligently monitors the ever-changing regulatory landscape. This ongoing monitoring allows us to stay abreast of any modifications and enables us to take the necessary actions to fulfill our obligations in each jurisdiction. By actively addressing these legal requirements, we strive to uphold the highest standards of data privacy and security across all regions of operation.

Intellectual Property

Live&Signed is dedicated to fostering a worldwide community of creators, enabling them to freely share, contribute, and monetize their content. We greatly appreciate the valuable contributions our creators make to our platform, and we prioritize the protection of intellectual property rights.

This policy outlines Live&Signed's stance on intellectual property infringement and provides guidance on how to report any content on our platform that you believe infringes upon your rights. We have also included general information about intellectual property, which is intended as a helpful reference and not as legal advice.

What is Intellectual Property?

Intellectual property encompasses a wide range of creative works and inventions originating from the human intellect. This includes, but is not limited to, inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols. These invaluable creations are safeguarded by legal rights, such as copyright and trademarks, granting individuals the exclusive authority over their own creations and permitting others to utilize them solely with their explicit consent.

In short:

Copyright: protects the expression of an original idea in a material form. It protects artistic works (such as graphics or photographs), literary works (such as poems, lyrics and stories), films, musical works and sound recordings.

Trademarks: protect the use of particular marks, from words and logos, to colours and sounds, that distinguish a source of goods or services.

Intellectual Property Rights

By utilizing the services of Live&Signed, you unequivocally agree that the content you upload, encompassing videos, images, photos, designs, text, and audio, shall not infringe upon any rights belonging to third parties. It is imperative that you either possess full ownership of the content you submit to Live&Signed or possess the necessary rights to utilize, display, and resell said content. Any content you submit must fully adhere to all laws governing intellectual property rights, including but not limited to copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. It is therefore in your best interest to solely upload content that you have personally created or for which you possess explicit permission to utilize.

Rest assured that any content you provide or upload to the platform remains exclusively yours, and Live&Signed shall not employ your content for advertising or promotional purposes without first obtaining your explicit consent. We uphold the right to review all content and retain the authority to decline the processing of any content at any given time and for any reason.

Live&Signed will respond to alleged copyright infringement notices that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) and trademark infringement notices that comply with this policy.

If you believe that:

your copyright work has been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement; or your trademark has been used in a way that constitutes trademark infringement,

and is accessible via the Service, the following information in the form of a written notification (pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) must be provided to our designated Copyright Agent at:
Moment House c/o DMCA Dept
333 W. Maude Ave.
Sunnyvale, CA 94085
with a copy to DMCA@Live&Signed.com

The notice must contain:

your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim to have been infringed; Identification of the copyright work or trademark that you claim has been infringed (in the case of a trademark, please provide the registration number and jurisdiction); Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on the Service (e.g. URL); sufficient information to permit us to locate such material; your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the objectionable material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or under the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any monetary damages, court costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation

These prerequisites are in place to ensure Live&Signed's compliance with its rights and obligations under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), although they should not be construed as legal counsel. It is recommended to seek appropriate legal advice to fully understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other relevant laws.

Repeated Infringement

In strict adherence to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and other relevant laws, we have implemented a formidable policy whereby we reserve the right to terminate the accounts of users who engage in repeated infringement of intellectual property rights. This serves as a powerful deterrent against such violations, highlighting our commitment to protecting the rights of content creators.

Furthermore, Live&Signed, exercising its sole discretion, retains the authority to restrict access to our Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users found to be infringing upon the intellectual property rights of others, irrespective of whether the infringement is a repeated offense. This proactive approach underscores our unwavering dedication to upholding intellectual property rights within our community.

What is Not a Violation of This Policy?

Not all references to another party's trademark automatically constitute a violation. For instance, expressing appreciation for playing Monopoly is perfectly acceptable.

Account holders are permitted to use trademarks in a manner that falls outside the scope of the trademark owner's rights.

It is permissible to reference someone's trademark to describe their goods or services, as long as it does not cause confusion among other users regarding the ownership of the trademark. In legal terms, nominative and other fair uses of trademarks do not violate this policy. However, an account holder that uses a trademark must clearly distinguish itself from the trademark owner.

At Live&Signed, we allow account holders to create parody, commentary, and fan accounts, provided they adhere to the following requirements:

Include a description on the channel page/community page that would be understood by others that the group or account holder is not affiliated with the trademark by using words such as “parody,” “fan,” “commentary,” “subscribers of,” etc. Account or community names should not be the exact trademark without some other distinguishing word such as “fan,” “subscriber,” “commentary,” or “players”.
