Request to Vanish
-----------------

`draft` `optional`

This NIP offers a Nostr-native way to request a complete reset of a key's fingerprint on the web. This is a legally binding procedure in some jurisdictions and thus supporters of this NIP should truly delete events from their database.

## Request to Vanish from Relay
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
Kind `62` requests a specific relay to delete everything, including [NIP-09](09.md) Deletion Events, from the `.pubkey` until its `.created_at`.
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
```js
{
"kind": 62,
2024-08-25 09:53:29 -04:00
"pubkey": <32-byte hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
"tags": [
["relay", "<relay url>"]
],
"content": "<reason or note>",
//...other fields
}
```
The tag list MUST include at least one `relay` value.
Content MAY include a reason or a legal notice to the relay operator.
2024-08-25 09:53:29 -04:00
Relays MUST fully delete any events from the `.pubkey` if their service URL is tagged in the event.
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
Relays SHOULD delete all [NIP-59](59.md) Gift Wraps that p-tagged the `.pubkey`, deleting all DMs to the pubkey.
Relays MUST ensure the deleted events cannot be re-broadcasted into the relay.
Relays MAY store the signed deletion request for bookkeeping.

2024-08-25 09:53:29 -04:00
Paid relays or relays that restrict who can post MUST also follow the request regardless of the user's status.
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
Clients SHOULD send this event to the target relays only.
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
## Global Request to Vanish
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
2024-08-25 09:53:29 -04:00
To request ALL relays to delete everything, the event MUST include a `relay` tag with the value `ALL_RELAYS` in uppercase.
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
```js
{
"kind": 62,
2024-08-25 09:53:29 -04:00
"pubkey": <32-byte hex-encoded public key of the event creator>,
"tags": [
["relay", "ALL_RELAYS"]
],
"content": "<reason>",
2024-05-24 16:58:40 -04:00
//...other fields
}
```
Clients SHOULD broadcast this event to as many relays as possible.
