Document before you need it
Keep raw files, EXIF metadata, and dated upload logs for every hero product image. Competitors rarely have that chain of custody when they scrape your Shopify CDN.
US and Canadian brands exporting to India often see copies on marketplace listings. The same DMCA packet works internationally because major hosts follow similar notice rules.
What a compliant notice includes
Identify the work, list infringing URLs precisely, provide contact details, and state good faith belief under penalty of perjury where required. Vague notices get ignored.
Our DMCA Takedown Services team routes notices to hosts, registrars, and CDNs in parallel so the images drop faster than sequential emailing.
Removing images from Google Image Search
After host removal, submit Google image de-index requests for cached thumbnails. Google Search Removal closes the loop when text pages still describe your products using stolen shots.
If the infringer also posted fake reviews using your photos, add Trustpilot Review Removal to the same project plan. Book a confidential consultation for multi-platform sweeps.
