Nothing gets filed until each creator has signed
Upload the roster, we send each creator a link, seats activate as signatures land. Plan for 2 to 5 business days. Almost all of that is waiting on people to open a text, which is not a clock we control and not one we will pretend to.
We don't bill a seat until it's authorized. Unauthorized seats are not scanned, not filed for, and not invoiced.
Step 1 — Upload the roster
One CSV. Five columns. We send you the template.
| Column | Required | What goes in it |
|---|---|---|
stage_name |
Yes | The name her content is posted under |
other_names |
No | Old names and misspellings, semicolon separated. They find copies the main name misses |
paid_page_url |
No | Confirms we're scanning the right person |
contact_email |
Yes | Where her signature link goes |
contact_sms |
No | A number gets her the link by text |
We are not asking you for her legal name. She gives that to us herself, inside her own flow. It never renders on your side, and it appears in one place only: the notice we file for her.
Roster status. There is no portal on day one. Until it ships it is a weekly email: which seats are active, which are waiting on a signature, and which we are not billing you for.
Step 2 — What each creator sees
The message
Email. Subject Your authorization link from LCI · From LCI Reports · Preheader Takes about a minute.
[Agency name] asked us to look for unauthorized copies of your paid content and to file the removals for you. We can't do anything until you say so yourself.
If you'd rather not, close this. Nothing happens and nobody chases you.
CANON-EMAIL-FOOTER, verbatim
SMS:
[Agency name] asked LCI to file content removals for you. We need your OK first, not theirs. About a minute: [link]. Leak Cleaner is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice. Reply STOP to opt out.
The screen she lands on
[Agency name] asked us to file takedowns for you. We need you to say so, not them.
We find unauthorized copies of paid content and file the removals. Your agency is paying us. You authorize us, not them.
Leak Cleaner is not a law firm. We do not give legal advice, we do not tell you what your contract means, and we do not choose an attorney for you.
What this lets us do
- Send takedown notices under the US copyright takedown law (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) for your content
- Ask Google and Bing to delist URLs that show your content
- File impersonation and trust-and-safety reports on platforms
- Act as your authorized person for removal requests under the TAKE IT DOWN Act
What this does not let us do
- Respond to a counter-notification, or start or defend any proceeding
- Say anything about your rights on your behalf
- Touch your accounts, your logins, or any part of your income
Two more things
- If you leave this agency, this authorization ends with it. It does not transfer.
- Your agency is told that you signed and on what date. Not your legal name, not what you answered. If you decline, they are told only that you declined.
A notice you file under your own name becomes a public record. Google forwards copyright removal notices to the Lumen Database, which is public, searchable, and Harvard-hosted. The record reads, in substance, "[legal name] asked Google to remove these URLs", with the URLs attached. That is a directory of your leaks with your real name on it.

What she fills in
Confirmation
Signed. Your seat is active.
Your first report goes to you and to [Agency name] in 48 hours.
There is no portal on day one. Until it ships, revoking your authorization runs by email. One line to FOUNDER: revocation email, no call and no questions, and we start it the same working day. When the portal ships it becomes one button.
Leak Cleaner is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice.
Decline
Nothing was authorized. Nothing will be filed.
[Agency name] sees that you declined, and nothing else. We're not going to ask you why. The link stays live for 14 days if you change your mind, then it expires and your details are deleted.
Leak Cleaner is not a law firm and nothing here is legal advice.
Reminders, and when we stop
One reminder at 72 hours, then nothing. We don't chase your models and we won't let you chase them through us. If someone hasn't signed after a week, her seat stays unbilled and you talk to her yourself.
If you ask us to skip it:
There is no override.
Not for a rush, not for a creator you've worked with for four years, not for a bigger invoice. A vendor that lets you skip this is filing sworn notices on an assertion nobody checked. We are not willing to be that vendor.
If a creator won't sign and your agreement doesn't cover her, we don't take the seat.
Path B — Your executed management agreement
Upload the executed agreement and point us at the clauses. We look for an assignment of copyright, an exclusive licence, or an express authorization to send takedown notices on her behalf. Inside 3 business days you get one of two answers: we file on this, or we need her signature instead.
What we are not doing when we read it. We are not telling you what your agreement means. We are not a law firm. We're deciding one thing: whether we're willing to file on it under our own name. Even on this path, every creator gets the notification, with a way to stop us that doesn't go through you.
Withdrawal, and data terms
A creator can withdraw at any time, without going through you and without telling us why. We stop scanning that day, we file nothing further, and her seat stops billing on the next invoice. Notices already filed stay filed: we can't unsend a sworn statement. If a counter-notification comes back, we forward it to her and to you, and we respond for neither of you.
We execute a data processing agreement before the first scan — Article 28 terms, standard contractual clauses, the UK addendum where it applies — signed at onboarding, not chased later. Retention is published per category.
