Ceartas is a copyright-protection platform founded in 2021 by Dan Purcell and Jonathan Smyth in Dublin, Ireland, and has since raised more than 4 million euros with offices added in Berlin and plans for Los Angeles. It builds tools to detect and remove pirated content, unauthorized merchandise, and deepfakes for content creators.
The service scans more than 75 million sites for leaked content, then issues removal notices directly to infringing hosts rather than relying only on the standard DMCA process through search engines, which the company says lets it skip the delays typical of formal DMCA filings. Beyond takedowns, Ceartas includes deepfake detection built to identify AI-generated impersonations of a creator, and it holds partnerships with platforms including OnlyFans and Fanfix.
Ceartas is built for content creators, agencies, and talent managers dealing with recurring leaks or impersonation rather than a one-time takedown request. Plans run Star ($69/month, Google search removals), Elite ($169/month, adds social-platform monitoring), VIP ($349/month, adds deepfake removal and an account manager), and Platinum ($1,200/month) for top-tier talent needing dedicated legal escalation; enterprise pricing is available for brands.
