Your NCII client brought phone screenshots. Your case needs a forensic ZIP.

Install the Chrome extension or Edge Add-ons version (30-second install), then start the trial. The trial requires a credit card to start — you are not charged during the 7-day trial period, and you can cancel at any time before day 8 at zero cost. If you don't cancel, the card is charged on day 8 at the plan rate you selected (Company Plan $18.99/seat/month with minimum 2 seats, or Enterprise single-seat $28.99/month). First capture takes about 41 seconds. For a first-matter test drive with zero firm commitment and no credit card on your side, refer your client to buy SnapPack $4.99 on the victim-facing LP — they pay, they capture, they email you the ZIP.

No. The TAKE IT DOWN Act assigns exclusive enforcement to the FTC as a Section 5 UDAP violation. Civil remedies against the individual poster are separate: VAWA 15 U.S.C. §6851, DEFIANCE Act S.1837 (if enacted), and state revenge-porn civil statutes (California Civil Code §1708.85, Illinois NDPSIA, Virginia §8.01-40.4, Texas Chapter 98B, New York §52-B, and ~43 other states).

Admissibility under FRE 902(13)/(14): the ZIP carries a SHA-256 manifest, RSA-4096 signature, and Bitcoin OpenTimestamps anchor verifiable at opentimestamps.org without our cooperation — the foundation courts have accepted since the 2017 Rule amendments. The attorney drafts and signs a Rule 902(11) certification referencing those artifacts. Griffin (Md. 2011) and Mangel (Pa. Super. 2018) excluded raw social-media printouts for lack of authorship authentication; ProofSnap captures the full profile + HTTP/TLS metadata alongside the post, strengthening Rule 901(b)(4) circumstantial authorship inference. Rossbach (2d Cir. 2023) — the critical case — sanctioned fabricated iMessage screenshots based on device-metadata inconsistency; post-hoc alteration of a ProofSnap ZIP breaks the hash, invalidates the RSA signature, and orphans the blockchain anchor, so Rossbach-style forensic inconsistency analysis has no contradiction to find. Opposing counsel's Daubert challenge: rare in NCII civil, but if it happens, the attacks reduce to (a) the capture process (rebuttable with forensic_log.json + ISO/IEC 27037 metadata) or (b) authorship (a fact question, not a capture question). You may still retain a forensic expert in high-stakes matters — their starting foundation is ProofSnap, shortening their engagement.

ProofSnap does not unmask posters — no client-side tool can. Our role is preservation: in your John Doe complaint, attach ProofSnap captures of the posting, poster's public profile, and any DMs. After the complaint is docketed, serve a Rule 45 subpoena on the platform. The captures satisfy the Dendrite/Cahill framework's "evidence supporting each element of the cause of action" prong, making the subpoena harder to quash. Platforms respond faster when attached evidence is self-authenticating because their legal team need not re-authenticate before producing.

Almost never for US-only matters. OpenTimestamps (Bitcoin) is sufficient for FRE 902(13). eIDAS qualified timestamps (EU Regulation 910/2014 Article 41) add a statutory presumption of accuracy in all 27 EU member states — valuable only for cross-border matters (EU-domiciled poster, foreign platform, DSA Article 16 proceeding). Company Plan includes 5 eIDAS/user/month; Enterprise tier ($28.99/month) includes unlimited eIDAS on every capture.

Complementary, not competing. Relativity, Everlaw, Logikcull, Filevine, and CaseMap handle e-discovery at scale (review, privilege, production) for documents already in your possession. ProofSnap handles the capture moment — the instant a live web page needs to be preserved before it changes. ZIP outputs ingest cleanly into Relativity/Everlaw/Logikcull for production. Rule 34(b)(2)(E) production: dual-track. Native — produce the ZIP itself as an atomic exhibit; manifest.json + evidence.pdf provide a human-readable index. Bates-stamped TIFF/PDF — evidence.pdf is the standard-format exhibit your litigation-support team Bates-stamps (Relativity/Everlaw/Logikcull auto-Bates on ingestion); companion files (metadata.json, forensic_log.json, manifest.json.ots) produced with sub-Bates numbers (e.g., PS000123.001). If opposing counsel demands Concordance/Summation/LEF load files, your vendor generates them from the ZIP in 15–30 minutes.

Billing. Firm policy decision. Common patterns: (1) Treat Company Plan seats as office overhead (matches Lexis, Westlaw, Clio). (2) For contingency matters with attorney's-fees provisions (VAWA §6851, CA §1708.85, IL NDPSIA, similar), evidence-preservation cost is typically a recoverable advance under the fee statute. (3) Pass through SnapPack as a small disbursement, or have the client purchase directly — a consumer purchase, not a firm disbursement. Review Model Rule 1.5(a) and ABA Model Rule 1.8(e) on advancing litigation expenses.

Malpractice / professional liability. Confirm with your carrier, but ProofSnap typically falls within standard office-technology coverage (ALPS, CNA, MML/Markel, Lawyers Mutual, CAMICO standard form policies), analogous to Lexis/Westlaw/Clio usage. Not a scheduled third-party vendor requiring separate disclosure (unlike a contract e-discovery provider or contract forensic examiner): it is a SaaS capture tool, captured content stays under firm control, and the extension has no privileged access to matter data (local-only execution). We are not an insurance broker — speak to yours.

Stacked evidence layers, in order of preference: (1) C2PA content credentials embedded in the image — if OpenAI DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, Microsoft Designer, or a C2PA-compliant camera produced or edited the image, the manifest is cryptographically signed and self-proving. ProofSnap's Provenance Certificate flags C2PA metadata when present. (2) EXIF/XMP metadata showing AI-generation software (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Flux, DALL-E in the Software tag), or the inverse — no camera-origin metadata on what purports to be a photograph. (3) Reverse-image-search trace to a nudify-app domain (Clothoff, Undress.app, DeepNude derivatives); under Dendrite, the nudify-app operator can be subpoenaed via Rule 45 for generation logs and prompt input. (4) Retain a forensic examiner experienced in AI-generation analysis for the affirmative forensic determination — the Provenance Certificate is a starting document for that expert, not a substitute. C2PA alone is usually decisive; jailbroken / open-source nudify apps require (2)+(3)+(4).

Partially. ProofSnap's File Certification feature wraps existing files (PDFs, screenshots, exported chats) in a SHA-256 + OpenTimestamps envelope at the time of certification — authenticity clock starts from the certification date, not the original capture date. Useful for: (a) establishing the file has not been modified since certification, (b) meeting FRE 902(14) requirements going forward, (c) chain of custody from counsel's possession date. Important limit: File Certification does not retroactively prove the screenshot is authentic or that content existed when claimed. Original screenshot must stand on its own authentication (Griffin, Mangel), and opposing counsel can challenge pre-certification manipulation. Best practice: (1) have the client recapture with ProofSnap if content is still live, (2) File-Certify old screenshots as fallback for content that is gone, (3) offer pre-ProofSnap screenshots as circumstantial corroboration with ProofSnap captures as primary.

ProofSnap runs locally in the browser tab. Captured content is never sent to our servers — the ZIP is produced client-side. No attorney-client privilege issue because captured web pages are public-facing third-party content by definition. Company Plan uses per-seat credentials; SAML/SCIM SSO available on Enterprise. ZIPs can be aggregated in your own DMS (Clio, iManage, NetDocuments). Scope limitation: ProofSnap is a Chrome/Edge desktop extension — no mobile app today. For a client to capture, they need desktop browser access.
