Depending on the situation and the information provided, we may temporarily remove or restrict access to the content while we evaluate. - Evaluation
We assess the claim in good faith, including whether the use appears authorized, licensed, user-submitted without permission, or otherwise problematic. - Resolution

If the content was submitted by a user, we may notify that user and provide them an opportunity to respond, where appropriate.
