# Data removal

> How a Discord ID is removed from DisDog, and what the API answers for it.

Anyone can ask DisDog to stop returning their Discord account. It is free, needs no DisDog account, and takes effect **immediately** once the request is confirmed: see [dis.dog/removal](https://dis.dog/removal).

## What you will see

| Situation | What the API does |
| - | - |
| A search for a removed Discord ID | Answers `451 removed_by_owner`. No module runs, and **no search is taken** from your quota. |
| The same ID, searched by anyone else | The same: a removal hides the ID from every search, for everyone, on the website and the API. |

```json theme={"system"}
{ "error": "removed_by_owner" }
```

`451` is final: retrying will not change it. Treat the ID as one you cannot look up.

## Asking for a removal

Removals are made on the website, not through the API.

**1. Open the removal page**

Go to [dis.dog/removal](https://dis.dog/removal) and enter the **Discord ID** to remove (17 to 20 digits) and an **email address** to confirm the request.

**2. Confirm with the code**

We email a 6-digit code to that address. Enter it on the page within 15 minutes.

**3. Done**

The ID is hidden from every DisDog search at once. A request never confirmed is deleted after 7 days.

> [!TIP]
>
> Not sure what your Discord ID is? In Discord, turn on **Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode**, then right-click your name and choose **Copy User ID**.

For any question about your data, write to [info@dis.dog](mailto:info@dis.dog?subject=Data%20removal). DisDog does not host Discord, Roblox, guns.lol or FiveM data at the source: to have it deleted there, ask those services directly.
