Torrere
Still being completed. The marked gaps below are waiting on details that have to be right rather than quick — who the contracting party is, and where. Until they are filled this document is a draft and should not be relied on. Anything urgent: support@torrere.com.
Copyright and takedowns
Effective date: 11 September 2026
Submarius LLC (“Torrere”) respects copyright, and responds to properly made notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512) and the equivalent law where you are.
What Torrere does with other people’s recipes
Two things, and they are different:
The assistant reads pages from the web. When it helps, it searches, reads the pages it finds, and pulls the recipe out of them so you can cook it. It cites what it read so you can go and look. A list of ingredients and the steps to combine them is generally not protected by US copyright on its own — the prose around a recipe, the photographs and the headnotes are. We extract the former and not the latter, and we are not a recipe archive: the result lands in one person’s private document, not in a library anyone can browse.
People share recipes as links. A Torrere user can publish one of their recipes at a link and send it to somebody. We do not choose what they publish, there is no feed and no way to browse or search what others have shared, but the page is public to whoever holds the link — so if something of yours ends up there, this is the route to get it taken down.
Sending a notice
Write to support@torrere.com with the subject line “Copyright notice”.
Your notice has to include all six of the things §512(c)(3) requires, or we cannot act on it:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — a link to it, or a description good enough for us to find it.
- Identification of the material on Torrere, specific enough for us to
locate it. For a shared recipe, that means the full link
(
https://torrere.com/r/…). “Somewhere on your site” is not enough and we will have to come back and ask. - Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
- A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.
What we do with it
We aim to act within one business day, and we do not sit on notices.
- We disable the material — for a shared recipe, the link stops working immediately and the preview image is removed.
- We tell the person who shared it what was removed and who asked.
- We record it. Repeat infringers lose their account, which is a policy we apply rather than merely publish.
Counter-notices
If your material was removed and you think that was wrong, send a counter-notice to the same address with: your signature; identification of what was removed and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone number; and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district (or, if you are outside the United States, for the district where we are). We pass it to the original complainant and may restore the material in 10 to 14 business days unless they file a court action.
A warning worth giving
Misrepresenting that something is infringing carries liability under §512(f), including the other side’s costs and legal fees. If you are not sure whether you own what you are claiming, find out first.
Everything else
To report a shared recipe as unsafe, abusive or otherwise objectionable — as opposed to infringing — use the report link on the shared page itself, or write to support@torrere.com. Those reports are handled within 24 hours under the https://torrere.com/legal/eula, and do not need any of the formality above.
For anything else, support@torrere.com.
