Evidence and compliance
What a page showed, in which country, on which date — kept in a form usable as evidence rather than as an assertion.
When "we looked" is not enough
- Whether required disclosures appear on your pages in each market
- Whether a distributor is selling within the language you agreed
- Whether your own price and stock reached a marketplace correctly
- Whether an ad ran in the country and placement you bought
- When the other party says "we never displayed that"
None of these survives on "someone checked." They need a record.
What is kept
Every observation is stored with the record of how it was obtained.
| Time of retrieval | retrieved_at, to sub-second |
| Country looked from | The country named in the request |
| URL retrieved | The page actually read |
| HTTP status | Whether it was 200, or a 403 refusal |
| Rendered DOM | The state after JavaScript, as a person saw it |
| Screenshot | The screen itself |
| Request identifier | What ties it all together |
Artifacts are retrieved through short-lived signed URLs, never from public object storage.
A refusal is not an empty result
When a source answers 403 or 429, it is recorded as a refusal — not as a successful read with nothing in it.
For evidence this distinction decides the conclusion. An empty result reads as "there was nothing there." The actual message was "slow down" or "not for you." Confusing the two later changes what you conclude.
Retention and deletion
Retention is configured per workspace and enforced by a scheduled deletion job, not by manual housekeeping.
Hold it for as long as you need, and it goes when the period ends. Neither "I thought we deleted that" nor "I thought we still had it" happens.
See Security for how this is implemented.
One thing to be clear about
Kansoku does not give legal advice. What constitutes a violation, and which records a tribunal will accept, is a lawyer's judgment.
What we provide is a record good enough to base that judgment on — when, from where, of what, with what result, in a form that can be checked afterwards. That is where our role ends.
Who uses it
- Legal and IP — records shaped for notices and disputes
- Quality and compliance — checking disclosure rules per market
- Audit — verifying how outsourced partners and retailers actually operate
- Advertisers — confirming placements ran as bought
