1. Overview

This policy describes how Florida Principles PAC handles copyright and intellectual property rights for its public website content, and how members of the public may request permission to reuse PAC content or report a copyright concern.

2. PAC-Created Content

Text, graphics, organizational materials, and other content created by Florida Principles PAC for its public website are the property of Florida Principles PAC. This content is protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from PAC content without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.

Public factual references, government-source citations, and public records are distinguishable from PAC-created commentary and design. Government records and public data are generally not subject to PAC copyright.

3. Third-Party Content

The PAC does not knowingly publish third-party copyrighted material without permission, license, fair-use basis, public-domain status, or another approved basis. All third-party materials are identified before publication. Legal review is required for uncertain rights situations, copyright disputes, or takedown demands.

4. User-Submitted Content

If you submit content to the Site through a participation form or feature, you represent that you are authorized to submit that content. For any content the PAC may use publicly, we will seek appropriate authorization. See our User Content Policy for more detail.

5. Reuse Requests

  • The specific content you would like to reuse
  • How and where you intend to use it
  • Your contact information

We review reuse requests on a case-by-case basis. We make no commitment to approve any particular request.

If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright or is misattributed, please contact us through the Contact page. Your notice should identify:

We will review copyright concerns and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to potentially infringing content pending review.

DMCA and formal safe-harbor procedures: Questions regarding DMCA agent registration, designated-agent requirements, and formal 17 U.S.C. § 512 safe-harbor compliance are subject to attorney review and have not been completed as of the effective date of this policy.
