Know which fan’s copy leaked, so you stop sending to them.

CreatorSense Trace is a forensic watermarking tool for paid creator content. It embeds an invisible, unique mark in each subscriber’s copy (PPV, customs, paid drops). When a digital leak shows up, Trace can tell you which account that copy was delivered to, and only shows an account when the match is strong enough. It is not DRM and not a DMCA filing service.

No. CreatorSense Trace is not DRM. It does not block downloads, screen recording, or proprietary players. Buyers consume files normally. Trace ties each paid copy to the account it was delivered to, so a leaked copy can be matched back to that delivery and the next leak deterred.

No. Trace doesn’t file takedowns for you. Removal tools hide links; Trace watermarks paid copies per account so you can see whose copy a leaked digital file was. After a match you can export a DMCA notice draft you send yourself. Many creators use both: takedown for search cleanup, Trace for knowing which account’s copy leaked.

Only when the match is strong enough: several checks have to agree. If they don’t, Trace won’t name anyone; better an open case than a wrong one.

After a match clears, Trace exports practical next steps you control: a downloadable evidence package, a DMCA notice draft for you to review and send, and an account notice for the platform: send the letter yourself, or with your OK CreatorSense emails it to OnlyFans, Fansly or LoyalFans with your evidence brief attached. Trace never files or signs takedown notices for you. The everyday outcome is a platform review of that account when the evidence is strong enough (the platform decides); Trace is not chargeback insurance and does not file disputes with payment processors. Takedown services hide the link; Trace shows which account the copy was delivered to.

Yes. Watermark each subscriber’s paid video before you send it (PPV, DM, or download), then paste or upload the leak. Trace can show which account’s copy it is from downloads, screen recordings, and tube re-uploads when the match is strong enough. That shows whose copy leaked, not who shared it. You still deliver on OnlyFans or Fansly yourself.

Yes. A mass message sends one file to everyone, so Trace makes a handful of versions that look identical but carry different marks, and you send each version to a different fan list. If one leaks, Trace shows which version it was, and so which list it went to. Customs, DMs and top spenders can get one copy each.

Yes. Photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP, iPhone HEIC and animated GIFs) and voice notes or other audio get their own per-buyer marks. Photo marks survive screenshots, crops, rotation, filters and re-compression in our tests; voice-note marks survive MP3, Opus and AAC re-encoding and short clips.

Trace is built for the leaks that usually hurt most: saved downloads, screen recordings, and tube re-uploads of those same paid videos. That’s the path most PPV leaks take.

Yes. Trace is built for screen-recorder software on a watermarked file, the usual path for PPV leaks that get re-uploaded. A case shows an account only when the forensic match clears.

Yes. Trace is built for tube-style re-encodes of watermarked digital files. When the forensic match clears, Trace shows which account the copy was delivered to. Removing the tube mirror is still a takedown job; Trace tells you which account to review.

Stripping file metadata or EXIF does not remove a Trace mark: the forensic watermark lives in the video pixels, not in tags. Typical downloads, screen-recorder captures, and tube re-encodes often still carry enough signal to match. Extreme cropping, heavy compression filters, or filming a phone pointed at a screen can weaken the mark. When confidence is too low, Trace holds the case instead of naming anyone. It will not guess from a corrupted match.

No. The mark is in the picture itself, not in the file’s details. Deleting metadata, renaming the file or converting it to another format does not remove it, and Trace reads it from the leaked copy alone.

If you mean a logo in the corner, that is a fair criticism: it can be cropped, blurred, or covered, and it was never going to stop a repost. A Trace mark is a different thing. It lives in the video pixels rather than on top of them, it is invisible to viewers, and it is unique to each buyer, so there is no visible badge to crop. Cropping the frame does not remove it; typical downloads, screen recordings, and tube re-encodes usually still carry enough signal to match. It still does not prevent a repost (nothing does), but it answers the question a corner logo never could: which account this copy was delivered to.

No. Trace can only match copies it marked before you sent them. Anything you sent or posted earlier carries no Trace mark, so a leak of it can’t be matched to an account. Mark every new drop from now on, and if you re-sell or re-send older content, send the marked version.

It also helps to send each buyer their own marked copy. If one marked file goes to everyone, for example a single PPV or mass message, a match points to that version and the list it went to, not to one buyer.

Trace doesn’t lock files shut. It watermarks each paid copy so when a digital file shows up you can see whose copy it was, and that risk is what makes the next account think twice. For scrubbing links off Google, keep using a takedown tool alongside Trace.

Yes. Trace embeds a unique watermark per subscriber (and an optional visible corner badge) into each paid video before you send it. When that copy leaks digitally, Trace can tell which account’s file it was, but only if the match clears.

It is the same approach. Film studios and sports broadcasters trace pirated copies with forensic watermarks: a unique invisible mark per recipient, and for streaming, per-viewer A/B segment sequences (an ETSI standard). Trace uses those methods, built on published research models for invisible watermarking, and we publish our own test results, including what does not work yet.

No. CreatorSense Trace does not file chargebacks, dispute cards, or act as chargeback insurance. Platform support letters are for creator platforms (OnlyFans, Fansly, and similar) to justify account bans. Payment processors hold identity separately; Trace keeps forensics. Evidence packs are for you or your lawyer, not for card disputes.

Trace shows which account a leaked paid video was delivered to when the match is strong enough, then exports evidence plus a platform letter and a DMCA notice draft you send. It is not DRM and not chargeback insurance.

Trace today is built for paid video, photos and voice notes that creators mark and deliver themselves, especially PPV, customs, and paid drops on subscription platforms. Courses and e-books are not the primary use case. For PDF/course lockers, look elsewhere or wait for document watermarking.

You build it. The Creator Base is $29 a month and includes the dashboard, your secret key, API access and a starter allowance (100 images, 10 videos, 50 audio files, 50 list versions, 10 leak traces a month). Add a usage level only for the types you send more of (video from $19, images from $9, audio from $9, list versions from $19 a month) and the add-ons you want. Over an allowance, each extra item costs 1.5 times your level's unit price. 14-day trial, card required. Annual is 10 months for 12. Agencies have their own Base at $199 with 5 seats; see pricing.

Example: a $25 PPV seen free by about 80 people is roughly $2,000 in lost sales. The Creator Base is $29 a month, a small fraction of that single incident, and you add usage levels only for what you send.

No. MCP connects Claude to your platforms and revenue. Trace is for leak attribution: showing which account a digital copy was delivered to when the match clears. Same login; billed separately.

No. Trace never asks for your OnlyFans or Fansly password and never logs in, posts or messages inside those platforms. You mark files in Trace and upload them yourself. Read the policy.
