With leakshield, we make the internet a bit safer – especially for you and your content. But how exactly does it work? Here's the answer:
Automatic search for leaks
Our technology continuously scans the internet for your content. In doing so, we work with a combination of:
Image and text recognition: Whether photos, videos, or descriptive texts – we find what shouldn't be there.
Cross-platform search: Social media, forums, websites, or cloud storage – nothing goes unnoticed.
AI-supported analysis: Our systems know how to detect suspicious content without bothering you with irrelevant findings.
Review by real people
We trust our technologies, but search engines do not know the entire internet. For this, we employ specially trained and experienced Content Reviewers who meticulously review each link according to our internal criteria catalogs. Here, it is checked whether the content is an actual leak of your content or just a newspaper article.
Furthermore, our Content Reviewers comb through every reviewed page for even more leaks to find a much broader range of leaks and submit them for removal.
Contacting platforms
As soon as we have reviewed a leak, we contact the responsible parties. In doing so, we rely on proven processes:
• Automated requests: Many platforms already have procedures in place to report unauthorized content – and we know them all.
• Manual escalation: If automated processes are not sufficient, we directly engage in personal contact with the platform operators.
Monitoring and reuploads
After removal, our work does not stop:
• Monitoring: We continue to monitor the platform to ensure the content is not reuploaded.
• Regular scans: Our systems run continuously to directly identify new leaks.
