Free resources # How to get copies of your work out of Yandex search
Yandex's own help says search engines cannot remove content from other people's websites, and asks you to contact the site's administrators or hosting provider. Once the content is removed or blocked, Yandex drops the links from its results after a short time.
Reviewed and approved by Chris, founder of Adult Model Protection. Last reviewed 13 November 2026.
So the work is in the notice to the site, not in a Yandex form. Our free notice generators write that notice for you; this guide shows the order of the steps.
Adult Model Protection is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Any notice you send is yours, and you are responsible for it and for the statements in it. If you are unsure whether you own the rights or whether the law applies, talk to a lawyer.
If the person in the images is under 18, or the images were taken before they turned 18, report it to the NCMEC [CyberTipline](https://report.cybertip.org/) and use [Take It Down](https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/) to block the images; Adult Model Protection serves adults only. Intimate images of you shared without your consent are a different case from copyright: adults can block them with [StopNCII.org](https://stopncii.org/), and if someone is threatening to share images of you, do not send them anything and read our [sextortion help](https://adultmodelprotection.com/services/sextortion-blackmail-help) first. If you are struggling, you do not have to deal with this alone: in the US call or text 988 ([988 Lifeline](https://988lifeline.org/)) or the [CCRI Crisis Helpline](https://cybercivilrights.org/ccri-crisis-helpline/); in the UK, the [Revenge Porn Helpline](https://revengepornhelpline.org.uk/); in the EU, 112 in an emergency. Sharing intimate images without consent is a crime in many places: you can report it to the police. All of these are free.
## Step by step
1. 1 ### Collect the URLs
Copy the address of every Yandex result that leads to your work, and the address of the page itself (open the result and copy it from the address bar).
2. 2 ### Send a notice to the site
Use the DMCA, EU or UK notice generator, depending on where the site and you are. Send it to the site's copyright, abuse or contact address.
3. 3 ### Escalate to the host
If the site does not act, find who hosts it with a hosting lookup of the domain and send the escalation notice.
4. 4 ### Report the outdated result
When the page is gone but Yandex still shows it, report it through Yandex's form for search results with outdated or deleted content (source 2 below).
## Which notice to send
Many sites that show up in Yandex results publish a DMCA policy; the DMCA generator writes a notice in that form. [DMCA notice generator](https://adultmodelprotection.com/resources/dmca-takedown-notice)
For a service offered in the EU, a notice under Article 16 of the Digital Services Act fits. [EU copyright notice generator](https://adultmodelprotection.com/resources/eu-copyright-notice)
For a UK service, the UK notice includes your full name and address, as UK law looks for. [UK copyright notice generator](https://adultmodelprotection.com/resources/uk-copyright-notice)
## About the Yandex copyright form
Yandex also has a copyright complaint form on yandex.ru. By its own terms it is for notices by or on behalf of right holders residing or registered in Russia, and it is only accessible from an IP address in Russia. For most creators, the route above is the one that applies.
Once the page is gone at the source, every search engine drops it over time, so the notice to the site is the step that matters most. If you would rather have the notices sent for you, we do that as your agent. [See how we send takedowns for you](https://adultmodelprotection.com/services/dmca-takedowns-adult-content)
The generator and form field helper need JavaScript. Enable JavaScript to use the tool; you can still read this guide.
## Frequently asked questions
Can I ask Yandex to remove an infringing page directly?
Yandex's help says search engines cannot remove content from other parties' websites and asks you to contact the site or its host. Once the content is removed or blocked, Yandex removes the links from its results.
The page is gone but still shows in Yandex. What now?
Report it through Yandex's form for search results that show outdated or deleted content.
Is this guide free?
Yes. The guide and the notice generators are free and need no account.
