Frequently Asked Questions

No. We do not distribute adult content. We process creator-submitted works solely for copyright protection. All images shown in the dashboard are heavily blurred.

We use proprietary AI-powered image detection technology to identify potential matches across the web. All matches are reviewed by a human before any action is taken.

Detection is automated, but all takedown requests are human-reviewed before submission.

Auto Mode: We handle everything automatically. When we detect a high-confidence match, we submit a takedown request after human review without requiring your approval.

Review Mode: You stay in control. We notify you of every potential match, and you decide whether to approve or reject each takedown request.

Automatic Scanning:

Once an image is uploaded and processed, it enters our automated scanning system. Scan frequency depends on your plan:

• Starter: Monthly
• Pro: Weekly
• Exclusive: Every 2 days

Manual Scanning:

You can trigger a manual scan for newly uploaded images only. Once an image has been scanned (either manually or automatically), it cannot be manually rescanned — it will be included in the next automatic scan cycle based on your plan.

This design ensures efficient use of scanning resources while guaranteeing comprehensive coverage through scheduled scans.

Yes. You can submit links you discover, and we'll review them for potential enforcement.

We support takedown requests across many common hosting providers and websites. Platform coverage varies and evolves over time.

Partially. Our image detection often captures video thumbnails, which can help identify video content containing your images. We're actively developing more comprehensive video scanning capabilities and expect to launch them soon.

In the meantime, if you discover a video containing your content, you can submit the link directly through your dashboard and we'll review it for takedown.

No, we never store your actual images. When you upload an image, we generate a unique AI-powered fingerprint and delete the original. This fingerprint cannot be reversed to recreate your image — it's a one-way process designed to protect your privacy.

Only you. Your account is protected by your login credentials. We show only heavily blurred thumbnails in your dashboard for identification purposes — never the actual images.

Yes. We use industry-standard security practices and limit access to sensitive data.

Removal Timeline:

Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), US-based platforms are legally required to "expeditiously" remove infringing content upon receiving a valid notice. In practice:

• 24-48 hours: Most major platforms (Google, YouTube, social media)
• 3-7 days: Websites and smaller hosting providers
• 7-14 days: E-commerce platforms and international hosts

Success Rate:

DMCA takedowns are highly effective for legitimate claims. Industry data shows:

• 95%+ success rate for properly documented takedown requests
• Google alone processes over 5 billion copyright removal requests annually
• US platforms must comply or risk losing their "safe harbor" immunity under 17 U.S.C. § 512

Legal Backing:

The DMCA (1998) provides strong legal protection for copyright owners. Platforms that fail to respond to valid takedown requests can be held liable for copyright infringement. High-profile cases like Viacom v. YouTube and UMG v. Veoh established that platforms must act promptly on takedown notices to maintain legal protection.

Note: International platforms outside US jurisdiction may have different response times and compliance rates.

No. OnlyErase operates on a best-effort basis. Some platforms respond quickly, others do not. Coverage varies by site.

To submit takedown requests on your behalf, we require written authorization. This is standard practice for copyright enforcement services. The authorization is limited strictly to copyright protection activities.

Yes. You must own or control the copyright to all content you submit and confirm that it depicts only yourself.

If a dispute or counter-notice is received, enforcement is paused. We'll notify you and help point you toward the next steps you may want to take.
