Privacy

Last updated November 13, 2026

The short version: you give us the facts we need to prepare your copyright filing. We use them to make your filing packet and for nothing else. We do not sell them, and we delete your packet one year after you pay. You file it yourself with the U.S. Copyright Office, and that filing becomes a public record kept by the government.

Who we are

Copyright Man is run by SHORE AI LLC, based in Malibu, California ("we", "us"). You can reach us at info@copyrightman.com.

What you give us, and what happens to it

• Your answers. What you made, its title, when it was finished and published, who made it, and the owner's name, mailing address, email and optional phone number. We use them to fill in your filing packet. If you leave before paying, your answers are deleted within about 3 hours.
• Your work. We never ask for it and never receive it. You upload your work only to the U.S. Copyright Office, when you file.
• Your first description. On the first question you may describe what you made in a sentence. That one sentence is sent to an AI service, which sorts it into a type of work. Nothing else you give us is sent to the AI service.
• Your filing packet. We keep your packet behind a private link for one year after you pay. The link is emailed to you. After one year it is permanently deleted and the link stops working. Anyone who has the link can open the packet, so please keep it private.
• Payment. Payments to us are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. The government fee you pay the Copyright Office goes to them directly, not through us.
• Technical data. Like any website, our hosting provider sees your IP address and basic request details. We use your IP address to limit abuse, such as too many requests in an hour.

The public record

When you file, the U.S. Copyright Office makes a public record that anyone can search. It normally shows the title of the work, the author's name, the owner's name and mailing address, and the dates. That record belongs to the government. We cannot remove or hide it, and it is not deleted when we delete your packet. If you do not want your home address in a public record, use a business address or a P.O. box.

Who else handles it

• An AI service provider receives only the one-sentence description from the first question.
• Stripe processes payments to us.
• Our email provider sends your receipt with the link to your packet.
• Our hosting provider runs the site and stores your packet.
• If you use the message form or the chat on the Contact page, a form service and an AI service handle what you type there.
• Google Fonts delivers the typefaces on the page, which means Google receives your IP address when the page loads.

We do not sell your information. We do not share it for advertising. We do not use advertising cookies. We do not send anything to the Copyright Office for you; you do that yourself.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Plausible to count visits and see which pages are used. They receive the page address without anything after the question mark, your browser and device type, and an approximate location. We turn off Google's advertising features. Your answers and your packet link are not sent to them.

Your choices

You can email us to ask what we hold about an order, or to have your packet deleted before the year is up, and we will respond promptly. Deleting your packet does not undo a filing you made or remove the government's public record. If you live in California or another state with privacy rights, you may also ask us to tell you what we hold about you and to delete it.

Security

We use encrypted connections and keep access to the site and its data limited. No system is perfectly secure, so we keep what we hold to a minimum and delete it on a schedule.

Children

Copyright Man is for adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their information. A parent or guardian can file for a minor's work.

Changes

If we change this page, we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use what you give us, we will say so on the site.
