Takedown Request Requirements
A valid request must include all four parts below. Incomplete requests are denied, and the denial is logged.
If the underlying forum post remains publicly accessible at the time a takedown request is reviewed, the request may be denied on the basis that the source material remains publicly available. Removal of the original source post does not automatically require removal by Dark Web Informer, but may be considered as part of the review.

Legal Requests & Law Enforcement
- Government, law-enforcement, and platform legal-process notices are reviewed for authenticity, scope, and legal validity before any action is taken.
- Requests must come from a verified official channel, identify the specific content or account, cite the applicable legal authority, and clearly describe the information or action requested.
- Incomplete, unauthenticated, overbroad, abusive, or complaint-driven requests may be denied, challenged, narrowed, or ignored.
- Dark Web Informer does not disclose user, subscriber, source, or account-identifying information unless required by valid and enforceable legal process.
- Security research and journalistic reporting on alleged third-party cyber claims is not treated as unlawful solely because a subject disputes or dislikes the reporting.
§04
Policy on Transparency

- Government and law-enforcement notices sent directly to Dark Web Informer may be included when legally permitted. Platform notices about third-party services may be logged separately when action is taken or disclosed.
- We do not host or store non-public data. Information is sourced from publicly available records.
- No hacking, unauthorized access, or paid acquisition is used for reporting.
