Getting leaks out of
Google search results.
Google doesn't host leaked files. It links to the sites that do. Getting a leak out of Google search means removing it at the source, asking Google to delist the result, or ideally both.
From leaked to removed
Verify ownership
Add your legal name, names and aliases, and links to where you published your work, then sign the DMCA authorization once.
Find the links
Paste leaked links in bulk, or let our scanning bot add matches for your names and aliases to your dashboard.
Notices are filed
Each link gets its own 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) notice, addressed to the site hosting it.
Track to removal
Follow each link from pending to notice sent to removed, with dates, the full notice text and CSV export.
Two routes: source removal and delisting
Source removal means sending a DMCA notice to the site hosting the file. Once it's removed, the page eventually drops out of Google as Google re-crawls it. Delisting means asking Google itself to stop showing a URL in search results by using its copyright removal request process. Delisting hides the result but doesn't delete the file from the site.
What ClearTrace does today
ClearTrace focuses on source removal for any content you own: we prepare and file a DMCA notice to the host for each leaked link and track it to removal. Submitting delisting requests directly to Google is not currently part of our service. If you want to delist URLs yourself, our guide explains how Google delisting works, step by step.
Tips for searching your own name
- Search your stage names and aliases with words like "leak" or "free", and include Google Images.
- Use the "Tools → Any time" filter to spot newly indexed pages.
- Collect the exact page URLs, not just the domain, because each notice needs the specific location.
Frequently asked questions
Does removing a leak from Google delete it?
No. Delisting hides the URL from Google search results. The file stays on the website until the host removes it, which is why source takedowns matter.
Does ClearTrace submit Google delisting requests?
Not currently. We file DMCA notices with the sites hosting your content. Once those pages are removed, they drop out of search results over time.
Are Google copyright requests public?
Google sends copies of many copyright removal requests to the Lumen database, with some personal details redacted. Check Google's current policy before you submit.
