Frequently asked questions
Is a screenshot sufficient evidence for NCII?
Screenshots are necessary but may not be sufficient alone. Full forensic evidence packages, including URL metadata and platform records, are needed for thorough documentation. ScanErase's reporting provides comprehensive documentation.

In most cases, do not download intimate content, especially if minors may be involved. Capturing URLs and ScanErase reporting documentation is sufficient and avoids potential possession issues.
