If content posted on FANBOX is reposted without permission on an external website, you can report the copyright infringement to Google and request that the content be removed from Google search results.
There are two ways to submit a request to Google: have the FANBOX Team submit a removal request on your behalf, or submit it yourself.
How to have the FANBOX Team submit a removal request
To reduce the burden of dealing with copyright infringement yourself, you can choose to have the FANBOX Team (pixiv Inc.; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") submit requests to remove content from Google search results on your behalf.
- Requests are submitted under the Company's name, so your personal information (such as your real name or occupation status/workplace information) will not be disclosed.
- FANBOX handles the entire application process, saving you the time and effort of completing the procedures yourself.
In order for the Company to submit removal requests to Google, you must first share the copyright to your posted content with the Company. If you would like to use this service, apply through the dedicated form.
