We have collected the most frequently asked questions to help you understand how our digital certification system works. In just a few seconds you can legally protect any content, track access, obtain reliable proof, and safeguard yourself in case of disputes.
ContentProtector.eu is an advanced forensic certification system for your digital files.
With just one click you get upload date, unique hash, tracking data (including the recipient’s IP), and a technical page ready for certification. Optionally, you can activate the qualified RFC 3161/eIDAS timestamp to obtain immediate legal value throughout the European Union.
With a qualified timestamp: the certification already has full immediate legal value in compliance with the eIDAS Regulation (EU 910/2014). Without a timestamp: to obtain full evidential value in case of a complaint or litigation, you can request the authentic forensic copy of your certification: a fast and secure procedure, because the system has already prepared all the necessary evidence.

Each uploaded file receives:
Thanks to this evidence, you can prove the existence and transmission of the file with forensic accuracy. With a qualified timestamp you obtain immediate probative value throughout the EU; without a timestamp you can later request the forensic authentic copy for full legal value.
