Salesforce has a DMCA policy that allows copyright holders to submit infringement claims if their content is used without authorization on Salesforce's platform or website.
This analysis describes what Salesforce's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The provision operationalizes Salesforce's compliance with DMCA statutory requirements and establishes the procedural framework through which intellectual property disputes are managed on the platform. This directly affects how Salesforce handles content removal requests and allocates liability between the platform and users for third-party infringement claims.
If your copyrighted content appears on a Salesforce platform without your permission, you can file a DMCA takedown notice using Salesforce's infringement claims process. Conversely, if you receive a DMCA notice, your content may be removed from Salesforce's services.
How other platforms handle this
In assessing misuse, we consider factors such as evidence that a report was motivated by bias or hatred (e.g., based on protected characteristics such as race, sexual orientation, or gender identity) or other malicious intent.
We review account behavior and content that Members create, send, and publish in Mailchimp, including Campaigns and Websites.
We allow Content that names individuals in the highest positions in a company who have broad influence over the work environment, as long as the Content describes the individual's behavior or performance at work.
Salesforce's DMCA policy is required under 17 U.S.C.
