Conditions and Responsibilities

Last update: August 2025

This document defines the terms and conditions of use of the service offered by contentprotector.eu, part of the project "Informatica In Azienda" directed by Dr. Emanuel Celano.

Access, registration, or even partial use of the service implies full acceptance of the following conditions. You are strongly advised to read them carefully before using the platform. These conditions may be updated for service improvements or regulatory adjustments. Any modification will be communicated with 30 days’ notice and will become effective after that period.

1. Purpose of the Service

contentprotector.eu allows users to:

• Upload digital files confidentially;
• Generate direct links and tracked links for controlled sharing. For the use of links, contentprotector.eu functions solely as a technical tool. The direct link does not collect data, while the protected/tracking link records IP, date/time, and browser for security purposes. The user is responsible for informing recipients of the tracked link in advance, in compliance with the information obligations set forth in Articles 13-14 of the GDPR.
• Receive email notifications when a file is accessed by third parties (with IP, date, and browser tracking);
• Create a Forensic Certification of uploaded files, valid as evidence in legal proceedings.

The service is provided in cloud mode and is accessible via browser without the need to install software.

2. Access and Payment Methods

• All features are available for a fee and require the purchase of paid plans calculated based on the web space occupied by the user's files and the months of service usage.
• Payment can be made via credit card, PayPal, or bank transfer.
• The Authentic Forensic Copy of the Content uploaded to the site is not included in the subscription plan and is only provided after an additional payment with a quote request via the dedicated form on the [ CONTACTS ] page.
• It is possible to request an upgrade of your plan to increase the available storage space by making a new additional payment directly from your user area.
  Please note that, in case of a plan change, the amount already paid for the current plan will not be deducted or refunded: the new plan must be paid in full. For this reason, we recommend requesting an upgrade only at the end or close to the expiry date of the active plan, in order to avoid losing the residual value.

3. Legal Validity of Certification

We wish to immediately highlight our solid experience in the field of online legal certifications, also developed internationally through the dedicated website https://www.certifywebcontent.com, specialized in producing authentic copies of web content recognized in forensic contexts.
The Forensic Certification generated by contentprotector.eu, when requested and completed through qualified forensic programs, is valid as documentary evidence under Italian and European law.

Legal Value of Certification: our certifications have full evidential effectiveness pursuant to art. 2712 of the Civil Code and comply with international standards ISO/IEC 27037.

Each acquisition includes:

• Digital files signed with timestamping.
• Detailed report with: web address, browser used, source IP, exact time, program used for acquisition, page source code, and generated traffic.
• Security certificates from our forensic lab.

International Coverage: we operate not only nationally like our competitors but worldwide. Our website https://www.certifywebcontent.com/ dedicated solely to acquisitions is translated into 22 languages, and we perform certifications with digital signatures specific to each country.

For users less experienced in legal IT, we remind you that a screenshot or just a hash code does not have independent legal value if not integrated with a certified forensic acquisition procedure.

⚠️ Attestation Limit – The certification produced by contentprotector.eu attests exclusively to the presence of a specific digital file in the platform at a specific date and time, also documented through an automatic confirmation email. The email proves the integrity of the file, but for a qualified certain date, a forensic authentic copy is required (details in FAQ under "how can I prove the file is mine").
It does not in any way constitute attestation or guarantee of authenticity, origin, quality, physical integrity, or commercial value of the object, asset, or content represented in the file.
For example, a file containing a photo of a stamp will be certified as present in the platform at the indicated date, but the certification does not imply that the stamp is authentic or compliant with collecting standards.

🔐 Certification of email notifications with tracking link

When a user uses the contentprotector.eu system to send protected content via a tracking link, the system automatically collects technical data such as:

• recipient's IP address,
• date and time of opening,
• browser and operating system (user agent),
• SHA256 hash of the sent link.

It is possible to request a forensic certification of the received email notification, valid as proof of the transmission and opening of the content. The certification can be carried out only if the email is accessible via webmail (e.g., Gmail via browser) and not from local clients such as Outlook or Thunderbird, a necessary condition for acquisition using forensic tools compliant with ISO/IEC 27037 standards. ⚠️ Legal limits of the IP address - The IP, even if certified, does not reliably identify a physical person, but only an Internet connection. The use of VPNs, proxies, or public networks may make attribution less reliable. However, the set of collected data (IP, time, SHA256, user agent) can constitute relevant evidence, especially when combined with other elements such as statements or written communications (e.g., WhatsApp messages, emails, confirmations received).

The certification of the email notification can be useful:

• to attribute the receipt of the tracked content to a specific IP address,
• to demonstrate in court that a specific file was actually received and opened,
• to strengthen a complaint of unauthorized distribution of protected content.

4. User Responsibilities

• The user is the sole responsible party for the uploaded content, the generated links, and the shares made through the platform.
• It is forbidden to use the service to store, distribute, or share illegal, violent, defamatory content or content that infringes on the rights of others.
• Intimate content – such as that commonly found on platforms like OnlyFans – is accepted exclusively if it refers to adults and is free from any violent, degrading, or dignity-harming characteristics.
• It is forbidden to publish links generated by the system in public spaces or on social media; their use must always and only be private.
• The system legally protects the file’s content, but to initiate a formal legal procedure, the user must request an additional certification through the contacts form.
• Each uploaded file is uniquely and immutably identified via a SHA-256 hash, associated with the date and time of upload.
• The user acknowledges and agrees that contentprotector.eu is not a service for appraisal or authentication of goods, objects, or works represented in the uploaded files. Any public statement by the user attributing authenticity or material conformity to the certification will be considered improper and may result in account suspension.
• The user undertakes not to use the service to create, modify, or disseminate false or misleading digital evidence. Any such use will be reported to the competent Authorities and may result in immediate account suspension.

Additional operational and legal notices:

• Uploaded files cannot be deleted upon request, not even by the user. This choice is intended to ensure the consistency of digital evidence for legal purposes. Users are therefore invited to upload only fully aware and relevant content, as it will not be possible to request manual removal or space release from the staff.
• At the expiration of the subscription plan, if it is not renewed within 10 days, all files and related certifications will be automatically and permanently deleted. Therefore, it is strongly recommended in case of intention not to continue with the service, to timely request the forensic certification of the most relevant files (through the contacts form), so as not to lose their legal validity.
• It is strictly forbidden to upload to the platform images or videos with sexual content depicting minors, even if received or possessed in good faith. Such violations, only if subject to complaints/reports, will be immediately reported to the competent Authorities, as provided for by art. 609-undecies of the Italian Penal Code. In such cases, the account will be suspended without notice and the associated data will be retained for reporting purposes. However, it is permitted to use the service for the exchange of intimate images or videos between adults, as happens on platforms like OnlyFans, provided they do not involve abuse, violence, or mistreatment. Such content must be shared in compliance with dignity and legality.
• The platform does NOT carry out any prior moderation of uploaded content, in order to respect privacy. However, in case of user reports or detection of technical anomalies, the content may be subject to verification and, if necessary, transmitted to the Authorities. A dedicated address for urgent reports and abuses is active: abuse@contentprotector.eu

In case of partial or total violations of these terms of use, contentprotector.eu reserves the right to suspend or delete the user’s account without notice, with deletion of associated data and without any right to refund.

Email opening tracking and information obligations

If the user wishes to keep as evidence the email notification received from the system, which reports the IP address, timestamp, and device type used by the recipient to open a tracked link, it is necessary that the user keeps an original copy of the message received online, and that such message is still available via webmail and not in a local mail client on PC. However, for compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the user has the obligation to inform the recipient in advance that opening the link may generate tracking (IP, time, browser, approximate geolocation). Such information must be demonstrable upon request, through a copy of an email message, WhatsApp, or other digital messaging containing the notice, prior to sending the tracked link. In the email that the system sends when creating the direct or protected/tracked link, all the information to be forwarded is already written in a template that the user can copy and paste.

5. Service Responsibilities

contentprotector.eu cannot be held responsible for:

• Data loss caused by malware uploaded by the client and distributed to a recipient, incorrect manipulations by the user, or malfunctions external to the platform;
• Improper use of links shared by the user;
• Failure to receive notifications due to problems on the recipient’s email provider side;
• The service is provided ‘as-is’. contentprotector.eu does not guarantee the absence of errors or interruptions but undertakes to intervene promptly in case of reported malfunctions;
• Consequences related to failure to update credentials or loss of access credentials. During registration, the user is required to indicate, in addition to personal data, the number of an identity document (identity card, passport, or driver’s license), without sending a copy or photograph of the document itself. In case the user loses access to their registration email, access can only be restored by providing the corresponding document and if the number indicated during registration exactly matches the one communicated. In the absence of correspondence, access cannot be restored and, at the expiration of the current quarter, all files and certifications associated with the account will be permanently and irreversibly deleted.
• contentprotector.eu assumes no responsibility for misinterpretations or improper uses of the certification by the user or third parties, including statements suggesting the authenticity or intrinsic truthfulness of the certified content.
• The notification email sent at the time of opening a tracked link constitutes the only evidence generated by the system regarding such event. contentprotector.eu is not the custodian of such data and cannot be held responsible in case of loss or failure to keep the email by the user.
• Updates to WordPress, plugins, or other platform components may cause temporary incompatibilities or malfunctions of certain features, including any snippets or plugins created/purchased and/or customized by us.
  Such events are technically possible and do not constitute contractual non-performance. contentprotector.eu undertakes, in such cases, to restore proper functioning as soon as possible, compatible with the technical complexity of the problem.
• Service interruptions caused by third-party maintenance, updates, or technical issues affecting our service providers, including scheduled or emergency maintenance windows that may cause temporary unavailability of some or all platform features;

5.1 Service Availability and Technical Dependencies

contentprotector.eu operates using various third-party services and infrastructure providers, including but not limited to:

• Cloud storage providers (Google Drive)
• Payment processors (PayPal, Stripe)
• Authentication services
• SSL certificate authorities
• Content delivery networks
• Email delivery services
• Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP)

Service Dependencies: The availability and performance of our service may be affected by the maintenance schedules, technical issues, or service interruptions of these third-party providers. Users acknowledge that such dependencies are inherent to modern cloud-based services.

No Guarantee of Uninterrupted Service: While we strive for maximum uptime, we do not guarantee uninterrupted service availability. Temporary interruptions may occur due to factors beyond our control.

6. Processing of Personal Data

The service complies with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR). The data collected are processed exclusively for the following purposes:

• Provision of the requested service;
• Security, traceability, and forensic documentation;
• Technical and legal support in case of violations.

Data processing is based on Art. 6, para. 1, letter b) of the GDPR (performance of a contract at the request of the data subject) and Art. 6, letter f) (legitimate interest in the case of tracking for security purposes).

contentprotector.eu does not retain any internal logs or history of tracked link openings. The technical data collected (IP, time, browser, operating system) are transmitted in real time to the user via notification email and are not stored within the platform’s systems. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a subsequent history of accesses.

For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.

7. Access to User-Uploaded Content

The contentprotector.eu system operates in a fully automated mode and does not provide direct access to files uploaded by users by human operators. However, in specific technical or legal cases, limited access to the content stored in the cloud space assigned to the user within the contentprotector.eu infrastructure is provided, hosted on Google Drive accounts managed by the service, in compliance with the conditions specified below:

a. User request for technical support
If the user experiences malfunctions in the platform or in file certification, they may authorize technical access by an operator by sending a WhatsApp message to the number +39 3771151946, containing the explicit authorization for temporary access to their account and the affected files.
This message has legal value and will be archived as proof of the authorization granted.

b. Requests from judicial authorities or in the presence of reported violations
In the event of formal requests from competent Authorities, or following documented reports from third parties relating to unlawful use, legal violations, abuses, or the publication of harmful content, contentprotector.eu may access the user’s files to assist with investigations.

In such circumstances, the user will be notified in advance via WhatsApp message to the number associated with their account, with an indication of the event and the legal purposes of the access.
Such access cannot be opposed, but it is nevertheless guaranteed that the user’s content will never be disclosed to third parties, remaining accessible exclusively to the appointed Authorities.

8. Data Retention and Deletion, and Account Deletion

Files and certifications are retained for the duration of the chosen plan. After 10 days from the plan’s expiration, all data, files, and related certifications will be permanently and irreversibly deleted.
The user may request account deletion at any time by sending a communication to info@contentprotector.eu, which must come from the same email used to create the account.
Deletion results in the definitive and unrecoverable loss of all “authenticity certifications” created by the system, without the right to receive copies of files, generated hashes, or reports, nor to obtain any refund for the current plan.

9. Right of Withdrawal or Exclusion

In accordance with Art. 59 of the Consumer Code, the user acknowledges that the right of withdrawal does not apply to digital services once execution has begun, with the express consent of the user. By accessing the platform and using the services, the user expressly waives the right of withdrawal.

10. Intellectual Property

All content, code, operating logic, scripts, and interfaces of contentprotector.eu are the exclusive property of the author and are protected by copyright and intellectual property laws.

Reproduction, distribution, modification, or unauthorized use of the service and its content is prohibited.

It is forbidden to use the name, logo, or any trademark associated with contentprotector.eu in a way that misleads as to the origin, quality, or authenticity of a good or service, unless prior written authorization is given. Unauthorized use of the name or logo may result in legal action and claims for compensation for any image damages.

11. Technical Limitations of the Service

contentprotector.eu applies the following limitations and operational specifications:

• Maximum file size per upload: 500 MB
• Supported formats: images, videos, audio, documents, and archives in major digital formats
• Maximum number of daily uploads: varies depending on the subscribed plan
• Maximum download bandwidth: defined for each plan
• Retention period of files after plan expiration: 10 days
• Technical distribution of storage: the purchased storage space is guaranteed based on the plan, but files may technically be stored across multiple cloud units (including different Google Drive accounts) to ensure greater security, scalability, and forensic validity. This method does not in any way affect the accessibility or certifiability of the content.

Exceeding the established limits may result in temporary suspension of the service or the need for an upgrade.

Service continuity in case of third-party disruptions
If one of the essential external providers (e.g. Google Drive, certification authorities, etc.) introduces technical changes or limitations that compromise the proper delivery of the service, ContentProtector.eu cannot be held responsible for such malfunctions. In such circumstances, we commit to identifying and implementing alternative solutions to ensure service continuity. However, these interventions may require significant technical time, even several days, due to the complexity of migration and adaptation procedures. Users acknowledge that during this period the service may not function, without this entailing any right to refunds or compensation.
