Protecting Your Content from Being Leaked
While Fanlock removes leaks after they happen, there are steps you can take to minimize the risk of leaks in the first place.
Prevention Tips
1. Watermark Your Content
Add a visible watermark with your official username or website. This:

Makes it easier to prove ownership
Helps us verify content is yours during takedowns
Tip: Place watermarks in areas that are hard to crop out.
