02 / FIVE STEPS

From upload
to gone.

An illustrative walkthrough. Every file, host, and result below is invented; nothing here is a live case.

  1. STEP 01ON YOUR DEVICENOTHING UPLOADED

    Start with your own file.

    Drop in a video or photo you own. Vanish fingerprints it in your browser. The file never leaves your device; only the fingerprint is used for matching.

    Invented example: file name and fingerprint are made up.
  2. STEP 02YOU REVIEWNOTHING SENT

    Review possible copies.

    Vanish lists pages that may carry your work. Each one is a lead, not a verdict: you confirm what is yours and dismiss the rest. Previews stay blurred.

    Invented hosts on reserved .example domains; thumbnails are blurred placeholders, not people.
  3. STEP 03DRAFT FIRSTSENT ON APPROVAL

    Approve the notice.

    For each confirmed copy, Vanish drafts a removal notice to the host's abuse contact with your fingerprint record attached. Nothing is sent until you read it and approve.

    Invented draft addressed to a made-up abuse contact.
  4. STEP 04RE-CHECKEDNO GUESSING

    Removed means re-checked.

    After a notice goes out, the tracker visits the URL again. A copy is marked Removed only when that check shows it gone. Anything still live stays open for follow-up.

    Invented tracker: three made-up URLs in three different states.
  5. STEP 05CASE CLOSEDSCHEDULED RE-CHECKS

    Close it. Keep it closed.

    When every confirmed copy is re-checked as gone, the case closes. The same URLs keep getting re-checked, and a new copy goes back to your review list, not straight out as a notice.

    Invented case summary. Removal everywhere cannot be guaranteed.

03 / CHANNELS SAME RIGHTS-FIRST APPROACH

01 / PUBLIC WEB

SFW channels

Public pages and reposts, paired with a verified original.

02 / RESTRICTED

18+ creators

Opt-in verified rights holders; abstract indicators, never explicit previews.

03 / WEBSITES

Platform teams

Reviewable claimant details and evidence instead of a blind complaint.

04 / THE BOUNDARY RIGHTS, NOT SURVEILLANCE

Claimant control
at every step.

Vanish is for opt-in verified creators and authorized rights holders. No open lookup of private people, no public face search, no automatic accusations. A human reviews the case and approves the notice.

All graphics on this page are invented examples. Hosts use reserved .example domains.

05 / STATUS HONESTLY LABELED

Concept preview.
Not a live service.

Pilot enrollment and payment onboarding are not open yet. The story illustrates a proposed workflow; no scan, evidence collection, takedown, or removal happens on this page.
