Your rights
Self-serve access, opt-out, and erasure for any domain you control. Ownership is proven with a short DNS TXT record — the same trust mechanism that underpins the whole service. No email, no ticket, no waiting.

Why a DNS TXT record?
DNS is the existing proof of who controls a domain. If you can publish a record under it, you have administrative control — exactly what we need to trust a rights request. Witnessed never asks for an account, so this is the lightest-weight way to bind a request to an actual owner.
How fast do these take effect?
Opt-out and erasure apply immediately on verification. Our inbound pipeline re-checks the denylist on every email, so even a sealed email arriving seconds after erasure will be dropped. Access requests return the live state at the moment of verification.
What a rights request does and doesn't cover
A verified request covers only the domain named in it. If you control several domains you need to verify each one separately. Erasure removes references to the verified domain even on other senders' records; it does not delete those other senders' accounts or reveal anything about them.
