Knowledge Entry

Topic: Takedown legal documents - LOA only
Added by: nikita@chainpatrol.io
Date: 2026-05-29

Content:

For takedowns, ChainPatrol only requires a Letter of Authorization (LOA) from the customer. We do NOT use Power of Attorney (POA) documents anymore. Any older documentation or guides that reference POA being required for takedowns (including automated takedowns) are outdated — the LOA is the only legal document needed.

Original Message

update knowledge we don't need a POA / Power of Attorney for takedowns, we only use an LOA now

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes to customer-facing legal guidance; no application code or security behavior is modified.

Overview
Documentation now states that only a Letter of Authorization (LOA) is required for takedowns (including automated ones), and that Power of Attorney (POA) is no longer used—with an explicit note that older POA references are outdated.

In concepts/legal-docs.mdx, the PR adds a Required Documents for Takedowns section, removes the full POA section and related “LOA vs POA” guidance, and updates platform-specific and best-practice copy so authorization is LOA-only (e.g. website, social, app store, and TLD flows no longer list POA).

In getting-started/how-it-works/takedown.mdx, it adds a Legal Documentation section at the top and revises the FAQ so customers are told to provide an LOA only, not POA/trademark/business docs as a generic bundle.

Note for reviewers: Other pages (e.g. onboarding and concepts/takedowns.mdx) may still mention POA; this PR does not update those files.
