Keep a clear record of web pages before they are removed or disputed.
Kiroku helps South African businesses, advisers, reputation teams, and investigators capture public web pages in a structured format that is easier to review and explain later.
Kiroku currently supports Japanese and English for the product UI, archive workflow, evidence-pack exports, and AI translation. This country page uses the English workflow directly, while local legal or regulatory questions should still be reviewed with a professional in your jurisdiction.
Why South Africa should focus on ads, privacy, and reputation
South Africa has clear advertising self-regulation, POPIA privacy compliance, online reputation concerns, and consumer complaint contexts. Kiroku should be framed as a practical capture tool, not a heavy forensic service.
Advertising complaints need the actual ad
The Advertising Regulatory Board handles complaints about potentially misleading, offensive, or unethical ads. Capturing the page or promotion before it changes is useful.
POPIA makes policy pages relevant
Privacy notices, cookie pages, and public policy changes are practical pages for businesses to monitor and preserve.
Reputation and harmful posts are understandable
Review pages, public statements, social posts, and forums can become important before takedown or dispute handling.
South Africa use cases for web preservation
Kiroku is strongest when the live web page may be changed after a complaint, report, negotiation, or public response.
Online reputation and harmful posts
Save reviews, social posts, profiles, and public statements before they are edited or removed.
Ads, offers, and public claims
Capture promotions, pricing, disclaimers, testimonials, and claims exactly as they appeared.
Policies and supplier pages
Keep dated copies of terms, privacy policies, notices, service pages, and vendor statements.
Monitoring over time
Track important URLs and preserve meaningful changes as the page evolves.
A lightweight workflow for web records
Kiroku is built for the gap between a quick screenshot and a heavy forensic or legal vendor engagement.
1. Save the page while it is live
Paste a public URL and Kiroku captures the page, screenshot, HTML, save time, hashes, and metadata from a third-party server.
2. Keep sensitive records private
Use Pro when the capture should stay in your own workspace instead of becoming a public archive URL.
3. Export or monitor when the record matters
Download an evidence pack for review, or monitor the same URL so meaningful changes are preserved over time.
Why not just use screenshots?
Screenshots are useful, but they often leave gaps when someone asks when the page was captured, where it came from, and whether the record is complete.
Context
Kiroku: URL, screenshot, HTML, save time, hashes, and timestamp stay together.
Alternative: A screenshot can lose the source URL, surrounding page context, and collection process.
Privacy
Kiroku: Pro keeps sensitive captures inside your own workspace.
Alternative: Public archive links may be unsuitable for client, employee, or incident material.
Repeat work
Kiroku: Monitoring and archive history help when the same page matters over time.
Alternative: Manual checks depend on someone remembering to capture the page again.
The page may change. Your record should not.
Create the archive first, then decide whether you need private storage, an evidence pack, monitoring, or professional advice.
