Copyright
Sousie is a place to keep the recipes you cook. Some of them are brought in from other sites and cookbooks. This page explains how Sousie respects other people's copyright, and how to have anything removed. Last updated 31 August 2026.
How Sousie treats imported recipes
A recipe's list of ingredients and its method are practical instructions, not something Sousie claims to own. But the writing, photographs, and other creative work wrapped around a recipe belong to whoever made them.
So when someone brings a recipe into Sousie from another site, Sousie keeps the ingredients and steps for their own private use and records a link back to the original source. It does not republish the source's photograph on any public page: an image copied from another website is only ever shown privately, in the owner's own book. Anything a person makes public — a shared recipe link or a published book — shows only photos they added themselves.
If you think something here infringes your copyright
Sousie hosts recipes that its users add. If you're a copyright owner (or acting for one) and believe something on Sousie infringes your rights, email copyright@meetsousie.com and it will be looked into promptly — access to genuinely infringing material is removed or disabled as quickly as reasonably possible.
What to include in a notice
To act quickly, please include:
- The work concerned — enough to identify what you say is being infringed (for example, a link to your original recipe, article, or photograph).
- Where it is on Sousie — the page address (URL) of the material you're asking to have removed, so it can be found.
- How to reach you — your name and an email address (or other contact details).
- A statement of good faith — that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
- A statement of accuracy — that the information in your notice is accurate, and that you're the rights owner or authorised to act for them.
If your material was removed by mistake
If you added something to Sousie that was taken down and you believe that was a mistake — for example, it's your own work, or you have permission to use it — email the same address above and explain. Where appropriate the material can be restored.
