Take Down Policy
The University Gallery has works of art in its collections whose copyright status is unclear and despite reasonable efforts, we have not been able to trace the copyright holders. To ensure that the public can view the collection, and to increase visibility of the collection in the hope of finding the copyright holders, Northumbria University has developed a Take Down Policy, which in the first instance seeks to find copyright holder information, but also offers a clear route for copyright holders who believe their copyright is being infringed and wish for their work to be removed from the website.
The procedure for copyright holders who believe their copyright is being infringed is to:
1. Contact the University Gallery though the contact form
2. The University Gallery will acknowledge your complaint by email within 15 working days.
3. The University Gallery will remove the image(s) contested while investigating the claim and clarifying copyright permissions.
4. We will then seek clarification on what copyright permissions are permitted by the copyright holder through the completion of our copyright permissions procedure. This has the option to give no additional copyright permissions than those allowed by law.
5. The University Gallery records will be updated to reflect the wishes of the copyright holder.
Tracing Copyright
We are publishing the list of artworks whose copyright status is unclear to help with tracing copyright ownership. The dates correspond with either the artist’s lifespan, or the time in which the work is thought to have been created.
