Ownership and permitted display

Artists and other rights holders retain copyright and moral rights in their work. Queer Art receives only the limited licence described in the Terms so that it can host, resize, display, moderate and promote submitted work. Site branding, original editorial text, layouts and software are owned by or licensed to Queer Art.

Use by visitors and media

You may view and link to public pages and make uses permitted by mandatory law. Copying, downloading, cropping, editing, training a model on, selling, merchandising, republishing or publicly communicating artwork requires permission from the relevant rights holder unless a legal exception clearly applies.

Journalists and partners should use the Press page to request publishable images, credits and permissions.

Artist and contributor responsibility

Contributors must control the necessary copyright, performer, privacy and image rights and must provide accurate credits. If ownership or permission changes, the contributor should notify Queer Art promptly. A submission must not knowingly infringe another person’s work or falsely attribute authorship.

Report a rights concern

Use the contact form and include:

1. your full name and authority to act for the rights holder;
2. the protected work and the exact Queer Art URL concerned;
3. the use you believe is unauthorised and the remedy requested;
4. a reliable way to contact you;
5. a good-faith statement that the information is accurate and the use is not authorised by the rights holder, their agent or law.

Do not send unnecessary identity documents through the form. We may request additional evidence securely if needed.

Review and interim action

We acknowledge and assess sufficiently detailed reports without undue delay. We may temporarily restrict material while checking a claim, ask the uploader for information, preserve necessary records, or reject a report that lacks a reasonable basis. Removal is not a legal determination of ownership.

Response and restoration

An affected contributor may respond through the contact form with evidence of ownership, permission or a legal exception. Queer Art may restore material if the report is withdrawn, resolved or unsupported. Repeated or serious infringement can lead to account restrictions.

Privacy, law and contact

Information in a rights report is used to evaluate, document and resolve the claim and may be shared with the affected contributor or advisers where necessary and lawful. Spanish and EU intellectual-property rules apply, alongside any mandatory law.

Questions that are not infringement reports can be sent through the contact form.
