Protecting Your Content as a Creator

## Keeping Your Work Safe As a creator, your content is your livelihood. While no platform can guarantee 100% protection against piracy, FANZA provides tools and practices to help you minimize unauthorized sharing. **Built-in protections:** - Subscriber-only content is served through secure, time-limited URLs that can't be simply copied and shared - Content is only accessible to users with valid, active subscriptions - Screenshots and screen recording can't be prevented by any platform (this is a device-level function), but the paywall limits who has access in the first place **What you can do:** - **Watermark your content.** Adding your username or a subtle watermark to images and videos makes it traceable if it's shared elsewhere. It also deters sharing because the watermark identifies it as stolen. - **Avoid posting full-resolution originals.** Keeping the highest quality version of your content offline means that even if someone captures what's on FANZA, they don't have the best version. - **Monitor for leaks.** Periodically search for your content on other platforms and search engines. If you find unauthorized copies, file a DMCA takedown. - **Use PPV for your most premium content.** PPV creates an additional paywall, which means fewer people have access to unlock-worthy content. This reduces the pool of potential leakers. **If your content is stolen:** File a DMCA takedown request through our [DMCA page](/dmca). We process these within 24-48 hours. For content that appears on external websites, you'll need to file a DMCA request directly with that platform or their hosting provider. **Community reporting:** If you discover that a subscriber is sharing your content outside the platform, report them. We take content theft seriously and will take action against users who violate our terms.
