Draft. Not in force.
This document is a draft. It is not legal advice and it is not in force. It becomes required only when the owner adopts it by a recorded decision in nexus-governance. Until then nothing here blocks anyone’s work.
What you can ask for
- Removal of third-party material you own or control that appears without a valid licence.
- Correction of a factual error about you.
- Removal of personal data published without a lawful basis.
- Review of a decision about your content.
How to ask
Write to the contact form with subject "Takedown". Say who you are, what item (UNI, version, page address), what right or harm you claim, what you want done, and a statement that your claim is made in good faith. Counsel may need to see proof of ownership.
What we do
1. Log the request within 2 days and acknowledge it. 2. Within 10 days an editor not involved in the item assesses it. Counsel is consulted where a legal right is claimed. 3. Where the claim is plausible and the risk of harm is real, we may restrict the item while we assess. Restriction is shown on the item. 4. Tell the author of the item and give them 14 days to respond. 5. Decide: keep, correct, replace with a new version, or withdraw.
Published records are permanent
Published editions are deposited in Zenodo. Deposits are effectively permanent. A withdrawal leaves a tombstone with the DOI and the reason. A correction is a new version. We cannot erase a Zenodo record, but we can correct or withdraw it, and we do so where law or this procedure requires.
Personal data
Requests for access, correction or erasure follow the privacy notice. Public research records may be retained where a legal ground applies.
Disputes
If you disagree with the outcome you may appeal within 30 days to the council. A panel with no earlier involvement decides. Nothing here limits any right you have under law. Governing law is proposed as the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein; counsel confirms.
Records
Every request, decision and notice is logged in the corrections log where it changes public content.
