FAQ

Questions about notices

  • We agree this with you at the start. Notices can be sent on your behalf under your authorisation.

  • We follow up and escalate to the next contact, such as the hosting provider or registrar.

  • Yes. Each link has its screenshots, timestamps and replies, and you can export them.

  • No. Where another route fits better, such as a platform's own report tool, we use that.

  • No. A takedown removes the content at its source. Search delisting removes the result from search engines.

Have a link that should not be there?

Send it to us. We will check it, file the notice and keep you posted until it is gone.
