What we remove under the right to honour
The post carries your name and more people see it every day. You do not have to prove to anyone that it is false: it has to be claimed where it sits, on the right legal grounds.
Defamation never stays in one post. It jumps to screenshots, to comments, to accounts that repeat it and to the results that come up when someone searches your name.

Removed ✓How a post that breaches your honour is removed
From a link you would rather not have read to none of them left. This is how we work every case, whether you already know where the post is or only know that it is circulating.
We find every post
We track your name across news outlets, social networks, forums, review sites and search engines, and we record evidence of every post before claiming.
We file legally grounded claims
Each platform responds to a different argument: the right to honour, data protection or its own rules on harassment and defamation. We use the one that works on each.
It's removed and delisted from Google
The post disappears from the website and, if it was indexed, so do the link and the headline on Google. We tell you about each one.
We monitor for reappearances
Content that has been removed often comes back weeks later. Monitoring picks up the new posts and claims them without you having to go looking.This is a separate service: it is not included in the removal.
Finding it
We find every post
There is almost never just one: outlets quote each other and accounts copy the text. If it comes down in one place and not the rest, it reappears.
- Searches by your name, by the headline and by the copied text
- News outlets, social networks, forums and review sites
- Comments, screenshots and accounts repeating the accusation
- A link, a screenshot or the account that posted it is enough to start
The claim
We file legally grounded claims
You do not have to prove the accusation is false. One of these routes is enough to request removal, and more than one can almost always be used at the same time.
- Right to honour, privacy and your own image (Organic Law 1/1982)
- Data protection: your name and your image are personal data
- The platform's own rules on harassment and defamation
- Where there is no contact, we claim against the hosting provider
Removal
It's removed and delisted from Google
Taking the post off the website and taking it out of the search engines are two separate jobs. We do both, and we tell you link by link as each one falls.
- We follow the case through until the platform responds
- Removal of the link and the headline from Google results
- We are a trusted partner of Google for content removals
- If something cannot be achieved, the amount stays as credit
Continuous monitoring
We monitor for reappearances
Monitoring is a separate service and is bought on its own: it is not included in a one-off removal.
An accusation often starts circulating again weeks later, rewritten or under a different headline. If you would rather we kept checking for you, this is what it covers.
- Regular scanning of news outlets, social networks and search engines
- Claims on new posts without you having to flag them
- Handling of profiles that impersonate you
- A report of what has been found and removed
From your first message to the removal, step by step
Remove it now ➜These are the steps we follow when a case reaches us. If you would rather try it yourself, our guide on what the right to honour is explains how to make a claim.
You tell us what is out there
You do not need to arrive with the work done. A link, a screenshot or the account that posted it is enough for us to start.
- The link to the post or a screenshot of where you saw it
- The outlet, the account or the forum that posted it
- Whether your full name, your company or your town appears
We measure the real reach
There is almost never just one post. We track the copies before claiming, so they come down together and the same thing is not left hanging on ten other sites.
- Searches by your name, by the headline and by the copied text
- News outlets, social networks, forums and review sites
- Comments, screenshots and accounts repeating the accusation
- Results and headlines in search engines
We submit the claim
Each platform responds to a different argument. We pick the one that works on each and follow it through until they take the post down.
- Right to honour and data protection
- Platform rules on harassment and defamation
- Removal of the link and the headline from Google
We confirm and keep watching
We tell you as each post disappears. From there, if you want us to keep looking, monitoring is bought separately.
- A notice link by link as each one comes down
- If something does not work out, your balance stays as credit towards another removal
- Monitoring for reappearances: a separate service, not included
Would you rather skip all of these steps? We handle the whole process, from finding the copies to requesting removal of the link from Google.

Where does a defamatory post end up once someone publishes it?
Almost nobody finds the post by looking for it. Someone sends it to them. And by the time that message arrives, it is no longer in one place.
Sometimes it starts in a news outlet and jumps to social media. Other times it starts as a comment and ends up quoted as if it were news. The route changes, but the ending looks much the same.
Digital outlets and news websites
This is the one that does the most damage, because an outlet ranks quickly and others copy it while quoting the first. They put your name in the headline, and that is what comes up when someone searches for you.
- Portals that republish without checking the source
- Aggregators that replicate what others publish automatically
- Blogs and websites that live off controversy
Social networks and messaging groups
Here the accusation is forwarded very fast and in private. It rarely shows up in search engines, but this is where it spreads most and where nearly all the screenshots that circulate later come from.
Profiles that impersonate you
Instagram, X, TikTok or Reddit accounts that use your name and your photo to lend credibility to what they post or to scam people who know you.
Google and the other search engines
Once one of those websites is indexed, the accusation appears when someone searches your name. Taking the post off the website and taking it out of Google are two separate jobs.
Forums and review sites
Threads that reopen years later, anonymous comments and reviews that talk about you rather than the service. It is the same content wearing a different face, and each one has to be claimed separately.
How long does removal take?
It depends on how many posts there are and where they sit. Each platform has its own removal channel and its own pace, and the final decision is theirs, not ours.
Analysis and claim
As soon as we have the link or the outlet that published it, we find the copies and send the first claims. We do not wait for the full map before starting.
Removal from the sites
News outlets and the large platforms have a channel for this and they answer through it. Websites with no visible contact take longer: there we have to claim against the hosting provider.
Delisting from search engines
Taking the post off the website and taking it out of Google are two separate jobs. We handle both, so the link stops coming up when your name is searched.
Would you rather tell us about your case on WhatsApp?
Write to us and we will reply quickly. Tell us what has been published about you and a specialist will assess your case, with no obligation.
24/7 support for urgent cases.
The legal basis for removal
You do not have to prove the accusation is false or justify anything. One of these routes is enough to request removal, and several are almost always used at the same time.
We build the case file using the route that works on each platform and we file with Google as well, so the link stops appearing when your name is searched.
Why act as soon as possible?
Defamation does not sit still. The longer it stays up, the more copies there are and the more people take it as true.

Removal tracking
We remove the post from wherever it is published
From any outlet or platform, on legal grounds and without anyone knowing you asked for help. That accusation stops coming up when someone searches your name.
Today it appears when people look you up, and it is seen by anyone who might hire you or work with you.
Your name, clean
We remove the post and ask for the link to be taken out of Google.
People who know you do not know whether to believe it.
No more explaining
Once the post disappears from the places where it was circulating, you stop chasing people to explain yourself.
Another website copies it every week.
The copies too
We chase the reposts and the quotes, not just the link you sent us.
Hours go on working out where it has turned up.
You get your time back
We take care of searching, claiming and following up. You get a notice as each post falls.

The software we use to find and remove every post
The same platform we use to find everything published about you and keep track of the removals, link by link.
See the platform ➜It searches by your name, by the headline and by the copied text across news outlets, social networks, forums and search engines. That is what makes it possible to claim every post at once, not just the one you have seen.
Each link has its own legal grounds, date and status. You can see at any moment what has been removed, what is pending and what has come back.
Numbers that speak for themselves
What we have removed from the internet for people and companies.
What is already circulating, what appears tomorrow and what comes back
Defamation rarely sits still. That is why the work does not end with the first link removed.
We find and remove what is circulating right now, including what went up months ago and what sits on websites you have never heard of.
We keep tracking while the removals are being processed. If a new post appears during the process, it goes into the same case.
An accusation that has been removed is often republished weeks later, rewritten or under a different headline. Monitoring checks for this regularly and claims the reappearances without you having to flag them.Bought separately: it is not included in the removal.

My picture was used in a miracle-pill scam. I got in touch with RepScan and, at last, someone took it seriously and sorted it out.
My name was tied to an investment scam with quotes I never said. I contacted RepScan and in just two days they removed everything.
I hired them over a personal matter and RepScan acted straight away, with a fast and effective solution.
Frequently asked questions about the right to honour
It is the right not to have false or disparaging information published about you that discredits you in the eyes of others. In Spain it is recognised by article 18.1 of the Constitution and set out in Organic Law 1/1982, alongside the right to privacy and to your own image. It does not only protect the famous: it covers anyone, and companies too as far as their reputation is concerned.
When it spreads false facts about you, or expressions that discredit you, with no public interest to justify it. Who says it, with what intent, and whether they checked the information before publishing it all count. Harsh criticism of a service does not breach your honour; accusing you of something you have not done does.
Slander (calumnia) is accusing someone of a crime in the knowledge that it is false. Insult (injuria) is harming their dignity or their good name. Both appear in the Spanish Penal Code, in articles 205 to 216. “Defamation” is the everyday word used for both and is not a separate offence in Spain. To request removal, your case does not need to fit any of the three.
Not on right to honour grounds: if the information is true and of public interest, freedom of information prevails. What you can ask for is that it stops appearing when your name is searched, once time has passed and the information has lost relevance, which is what is known as the right to be forgotten. When a case like that reaches us, we tell you before you pay anything.
The link to the post or a screenshot of where you saw it. If you know which outlet, account or forum published it, all the better, but it is not essential: with your name we can find the rest. There is nothing else you need to prepare.
No. A claim to the platform or the outlet is a separate route from a criminal complaint and does not depend on it. You can do both at the same time, and the case file we prepare is useful if you decide to report it later.
The platform, the outlet or, when there is nobody else to deal with, the provider hosting the website. We prepare the claim on the right legal grounds and follow it up, but the final decision is not ours. If it is not achieved, the amount stays as credit.
Digital outlets, social networks, forums, blogs, review sites, news aggregators and search engines. Also the hosting provider when the website has no visible contact.
Yes. To claim with the platform you do not need to know who wrote it: the claim is about the content. Identifying the author is only necessary if you want to go down the court route, and that is a separate decision.
The claim goes to the outlet, which is obliged to deal with it. Depending on the case we request removal, a correction or delisting, which means the story stays published but stops coming up when your name is searched. We explain which one fits before doing anything.
Yes. Taking the post off the website and taking it out of the search engine are two separate jobs and we handle both. That is what makes it stop appearing when someone types your name.
It depends on how many posts there are and where they sit. News outlets and the large platforms have a channel for this and they answer through it; websites with no visible contact take longer. We do not promise timescales because the decision is not ours, but we tell you link by link as they come down.
No. The claim is filed without revealing who requested it and we leave no trace of the instruction. The case is handled with complete discretion.
An accusation is often republished weeks later, rewritten or under a different headline. While the case is open, anything that appears goes into the same instruction. If you want us to keep looking afterwards, continuous monitoring is bought separately.
It depends on how many posts have to be removed and where they sit. Each service is bought separately and with no subscription, except continuous monitoring. Tell us about the case and we will tell you what can be done and what it would cost before you pay anything.
Yes. Companies have their professional standing protected, and false accusations, reviews that attack the owner rather than the service, and smear campaigns all fall under this service just as cases involving individuals do.
