Case: keep approved publications and remove unwanted copies
Starting point: some publications are authorized and should remain online, while copies on third-party websites are unwanted.
This page does not describe a specific client and is not a promise of outcome. It is a composite scenario based on typical situations, created to explain the workflow.
Starting situation
The person provides approved URLs and examples of unwanted copies. A broad removal campaign could accidentally affect publications that should remain.
What we do
- Create separate keep and remove lists.
- Run deep search for additional public copies.
- Review discovered URLs before removal begins.
- Work only from the approved removal list and monitor for new matches.
Illustrative outcome
Illustrative outcome: authorized publications are excluded from the removal scope, while unwanted copies are handled from an agreed URL list. This is especially useful when identical content should remain on selected platforms.
Why early contact matters
If you do not want everything removed, say so immediately. We can first build a URL list for approval and work only on the unwanted copies.

If the material is already online, send the known URL now
One known URL is enough for an initial review. If you do not know where else the material appears, select deep search. The sooner source URLs and identifiers are preserved, the sooner the removal workflow can begin.
