When someone searches your name and finds intimate images, the images are typically hosted on external platforms and indexed by search engines. Removing the URL from Google Search alone leaves the source content live and findable through other channels. ScanErase sends TAKE IT DOWN Act notices to both the search engines indexing the content and the platforms hosting it, covering both deindexing and source deletion in one process.

How ScanErase addresses this

  1. Identify all indexed URLs Biometric scan finds every URL across all search engines and source platforms where your likeness appears.
  2. Review all confirmed locations Your dashboard shows search engine results and source hosting locations separately.
  3. Send notices to search engines and hosts Simultaneous 223a notices to Google, Bing, and all source hosting platforms.
  4. Track deindexing and source removal Your Evidence Locker records separate compliance status for each search engine and hosting platform.

Frequently asked questions

How long does search engine deindexing take?

Google's median response time under a 223a notice is 8.4 hours. Bing's median response time is approximately 10 hours. Both are significantly faster than voluntary removal requests.

If I remove from search, is the problem solved?

Partially. Deindexing removes the search result but the source content remains on the hosting platform. ScanErase addresses both.
