DMCA Copyright Policy

Harsh Cyber Cafe complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. Learn how to report alleged intellectual property infringements.

1. Policy Overview & Intellectual Property Respect

Harsh Cyber Cafe ("Platform", "we", "us", or "our"), operated under the management of founder Harsh Raj and located at Rangbhumi Chowk, Opposite Hotel Ranjana Palace, Purnia, Bihar 854301, India, is committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of creators, software engineers, photographers, and copyright owners worldwide.

It is our policy to respond expeditiously to legitimate notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512) and applicable provisions of the Indian Information Technology Act, 2000 (Intermediary Guidelines).

2. Technical Architecture & Intermediary Safe Harbor

Unlike conventional document-sharing websites, public clouds, or content hosting repositories, Harsh Cyber Cafe does not provide public file hosting or digital asset storage:

• 100% Client-Side Processing: All 172+ utilities (including PDF Merging, Image Compression, Passport Photo Generation, and Format Conversions) execute locally within the end-user's web browser memory (RAM) utilizing HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly.
• Zero Server Hosting: We do not store, upload, transmit, or cache user documents on our web servers. Because files never touch our infrastructure, we cannot inspect, distribute, or provide public access to any document or image converted by an individual user.
• Intermediary Immunity: Under Section 512 of the DMCA and Section 79 of the Indian IT Act, Harsh Cyber Cafe operates as an automated processing intermediary that does not initiate the transmission, select the receiver, or modify user-provided files during client execution.
