Questions about LeakVoid.

LeakVoid is software that helps creators send DMCA takedown notices. You send us links to copies of your work posted without permission. We draft the notices, you review and sign each one, and we send them to sites that take notices by email and show whether each link is still up. LeakVoid is not a law firm.

Yes. The LeakVoid plan is $49 a month, plus any sales tax that applies where you live. You send us links to copies of your work, we draft takedown notices, you sign the ones you want sent, and we send them to sites that take notices by email. LeakVoid is available in the US except Maine and Utah.

Send a written notice to the site's designated copyright agent. It needs your signature, your original work, the exact link to the copy, your contact details, a good-faith statement and a statement under penalty of perjury. LeakVoid drafts these notices for the links you send, and you review and sign each one. Our guide covers each step.

You send us the links. LeakVoid works from the links you send us to copies of your work posted without permission. You confirm each link, we draft a notice for it, and you sign the ones you want sent. Our guide to looking for copies of your photos and videos shows ways to spot them yourself.

Ask Google to delist each page through Google's own copyright removal request. Delisting drops the page from Google's results, but the copy can stay on the site itself. LeakVoid prepares these requests for you, with step-by-step help, and you submit them on Google's form. Google decides each request. Our guide explains how it works.

Ask every service the same questions before you sign up: what you pay, whether it renews and how you cancel, what its refund terms are, who decides what goes out under your name, and whose name is on each notice. Our guide lists these questions with LeakVoid's own answer to each.

Take five steps in order: check that the work is yours to enforce, log the exact link of every copy, send takedown notices to each site and its host, ask Google to drop the links, then decide whether to register your work. With LeakVoid, you send us the links and sign the notices we draft. Our guide has the details.

Yours. You review and sign each notice yourself on your Sign notices screen. LeakVoid prepares it, sends it wherever the site takes notices by email and shows whether each link is still up. If a site only takes its own web form, you get a ready-to-file packet. You choose the name you sign with: a stage name or your legal name. You choose the name each notice uses as the owner, such as your stage name or your business name, where the platform allows it. Your address and phone number stay off the notices we prepare unless a platform requires them, and we tell you first. Some platforms require the signer's legal name.

Yes, partly. This is the exact wording from the authorization you sign:

• Your signing name and owner name go in each notice. Platforms often pass a copy of the notice to the person who posted the content.
• Google shares copyright notices with Lumen. Google says it generally shares the name of the person who made the request, the rights holder's name, the reported links, the country, the date and other details with Lumen, a public database at Harvard. It says it does not share the contact information fields, such as email. The name you sign with and the owner name may become public there. That is why you can use a stage name.
• Some platforms may ask for your legal name. If a platform will not accept a stage name, we will ask you before we give it your legal name.

Not without asking you first, unless the law requires it. Some platforms ask for proof of ownership before they act; if one does, we come to you before giving anything. If you ever decide to sue someone, your legal name would likely appear in court papers, but we never file anything in court for you.

We publish no client list, badges or creator logos. Charges appear on your card statement as LEAKVOID.COM.

No. You send us links to copies of your content, and we draft notices for them. You review the new notices and sign the ones you want sent. On your Sign notices screen, untick any you want to skip, then sign the ones still ticked. We send them wherever the site takes notices by email and show whether each link is still up. If a site only accepts its own web form, we give you a ready-to-file packet instead. We draft notices only for links you send us that show your own content, found somewhere that is not your own page, not on your allow list, and not a review, news, commentary or forum page. Search engine removal requests work differently: we prepare them and walk you through submitting them yourself on Google's own form.

Because whether a link shows your work, and whether it might be fair use, are judgment calls, and they should be yours. An edited clip or a screenshot in a discussion thread might be fair use. Sending a notice for it could hurt you. So every link you send us is shown to you first, with a short fair-use check. If you confirm one, its notice joins your next batch to sign. If you leave it, nothing happens.

We prepare reports of fake accounts you tell us about, with the details filled in, and you file each report from your own account. Platforms generally want these reports from the person being impersonated. Whether the platform removes the account is their decision.

No. Nobody honestly can. Sites, hosts, platforms and search engines decide for themselves. Some ignore notices, some sit outside the United States, and new copies can appear any time. What we promise is the work: drafting notices for the links you send us, sending the ones you sign, and keeping you informed.

It depends entirely on the site. We don't promise a timeframe.

If they send a counter-notice, we pause that item and forward it to you straight away. The law lets the platform restore the content after a set period unless you go to court. We don't resend, we don't argue, and we can't advise you on what to do; a lawyer can.

Everyone you have licensed or allowed to post your work: promoters, resellers, collaborators, free pages you run. We never send notices to anyone on it. Keep it current; it protects you.

So notices are sent only for the real creator. Usually you put a short code we give you in your bio or a post, and we check that it's there. Where we support it, you can link your platform account instead. Nothing biometric.

What we need to act for you: your account details, the ID check result, your stage names and pages, your allow list, the work you register, and records of the links you sent us and the notices we sent. Card details stay with the payment processor. Our Privacy Policy lists everything.

No. We don't sell your information, share it for advertising, or use your content to train AI for anyone else.

At launch you send us links, not files. We keep the links, not copies of your content.

Yes. You can delete single items at any time, or delete your whole account in Account > Privacy > Delete my account, or by emailing hello@leakvoid.com. We delete your data within 30 days, except the records our Privacy Policy says we keep, such as notices we sent for you and billing records. If we sent any notices for you, we keep your email address only to forward counter-notices, for as long as we keep those notice records: 3 years after the last notice, or longer if a counter-notice, reply or dispute about one of them comes later. Notices already sent can't be recalled, and we can't delete copies held by platforms or public databases.

Yes. At any time while your subscription is active, or within 30 days of your last payment if you cancel, you can ask us to refund your most recent monthly payment in full. You don't need to give a reason. Each person can use the guarantee once. We check that each person uses the guarantee once by looking at your account, email address and payment card. Once our ID check opens, you must pass it to claim (a photo of your passport, US passport card, driver's license, state or national ID card, or US permanent resident card (green card); no selfie), and if you don't pass, there is no guarantee refund. Planning to delete your account? Claim the guarantee first. If you delete first, you can still claim by emailing hello@leakvoid.com within 30 days after your last payment. The guarantee, like LeakVoid, is for US residents only, except residents of Maine and Utah. A refund does not cancel your plan. It keeps renewing at $49 a month until you cancel, which you do separately at Account > Billing > Cancel subscription. Ask at Account > Billing > Request a refund, or email hello@leakvoid.com. The refund goes back to the card you paid with and usually shows up within 5 to 10 business days, depending on your bank. Other payments aren't refunded, except charges made by mistake or after you cancel, and where the law requires.

$49 a month, plus any sales tax where you live. No setup fee.

Account, Billing, Cancel subscription, then confirm. You can also cancel by email. Service runs to the end of the month you paid for, and you are not charged again.

Yes, through our latest-month refund guarantee. Ask while subscribed, or within 30 days of your last payment if you cancel, and we refund your most recent monthly payment. No reason needed. Once per person. Once our ID check opens, you must pass it to claim. A refund doesn't cancel your plan. US residents only, except Maine and Utah. See "Is there a latest-month refund guarantee?" above for how it works. To stop future charges, cancel separately at Account > Billing > Cancel subscription. Apart from the guarantee, payments aren't refunded, except charges made by mistake or after you cancel, and where the law requires.

Charges appear on your card statement as LEAKVOID.COM.

No. We're not a law firm, and using LeakVoid does not make us your lawyer. For legal advice, talk to a licensed attorney.

Only if you own the copyright or are authorized to enforce it. A photo someone else took of you may belong to them. You confirm ownership under penalty of perjury when you sign the authorization at checkout, so please be sure.
