Internet content can disappear quickly.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t certify the content, you may lose the opportunity to use it as evidence.

Screenshots are manipulable.<\/strong>\u00a0Digital content is easily manipulable; anyone with basic knowledge can modify the content of a digital file, thus losing the reliability you seek and potentially leading to it being\u00a0inadmissible in court.

SaveTheProof generates an electronic document to attest, as an independent and impartial third party, the content of a webpage or file at a specific point in time.
