As a social media platform, Hacoo is committed to the protection of intellectual property, and obeys the law and other normative rules about intellectual property right. Hacoo operates as a content-sharing and third-party connection platform, where inspirations and content are provided by independent creators and users. We empower our community users with oversight rights—once infringement is discovered, we will immediately remove the third-party content in question. Meanwhile, Hacoo strives to provide an efficient, secure, and legal sharing ecosystem for all parties on the platform, and will closely cooperate with intellectual property owners to fight infringement.

 

We rely on community oversight to quickly verify and remove infringing content. Hacoo's Intellectual property team actively monitors and seriously investigates any reports.
