General Questions

To start, you sign up for one of Leakserv’s protection plans. We will ask you to provide the original photos or videos that may be illegally shared online. You can upload these directly to your secure client account or send them via encrypted email.
All files are stored on Leakserv’s protected servers and handled according to strict security protocols.

The images you provide are used solely to locate illegal copies online. They remain securely stored on Leakserv’s servers and are never shared, sold, or distributed. Only authorized specialists have access for the purpose of content detection and removal.

No. Removing illegally shared content does not harm your legal case. Leakserv focuses on takedowns, while maintaining the ability to preserve evidence if you intend to pursue legal action. At your request, we can save webpages as .mht forensic files, which are accepted by police and legal authorities.

Leakserv captures webpages as .mht files, which store the full page including source code, images, timestamps, and metadata. This creates a legally usable snapshot of what was online at a specific moment, suitable for both police and legal proceedings.

Yes. Leakserv regularly supports police investigations. We can collect and deliver evidence in .mht format, which preserves the complete webpage and all metadata. This enables authorities to verify what illegal content appeared online and when.

Leakserv offers three protection plans:

  • Small Plan – $89/month

  • Medium Plan – $169/month

  • Large Plan – $289/month

Pricing depends on the volume of content you need us to search for and remove, as well as the level of ongoing monitoring required.

Timelines vary. Some websites respond within hours, while others may take several days or weeks. Factors include:

  • Website cooperation

  • Hosting provider involvement

  • Country-specific legal requirements

We begin removal attempts immediately after starting your case.

Certain websites resist removal requests or operate in countries with weaker copyright laws. If hosting providers or legal steps are required, additional time may be needed. Leakserv continues pursuing each case until all possible removal options are exhausted.

Our average reported removal success rate is about 92%. Actual results depend on factors such as the type of content, the number of infringing platforms, and cooperation from site owners or hosts.

Leakserv uses a combination of:

  • Manual searches by trained specialists

  • Automated scans of high-risk forums and sites

  • Reverse image search technology

  • Facial recognition tools (when applicable)

This combined method allows us to find both obvious and hidden copies of your content.

Having the original image or video helps us identify matches more accurately, but it is not always required. Using reverse image search, facial recognition, and contextual investigation, Leakserv may still be able to detect illegally shared content even if you do not possess the original file. We can work with any information you have.
