What it means when a mark can be removed

Every visible mark in this record can be removed, and the routes differ: one is a settings switch, three are plan upgrades. The regulation does not address removability, so this page records the routes rather than drawing a consequence from them. As of 2026-09-12.

Inclusion rule. Entries whose pages describe a route to remove the visible mark. A vendor that describes a mark without describing a removal route is not listed here. Order. Route type first, then alphabetically by vendor.

1A switch and a price are different kinds of control

A settings toggle puts the decision with whoever is operating the tool at the moment of generation. A plan gate puts it with whoever holds the account. Neither is described anywhere as a compliance feature, and the difference between them is about who can change the state of a file, not about what the file then is.

For an organisation that wants marking to be consistent, the plan gate is easier to reason about, because nobody can change it mid-production by clicking something. For an organisation that wants marking to follow the job rather than the subscription, the switch is the one that fits. Both are packaging decisions that happen to have that effect.

2The one vendor that gives a reason gives an operational one

Only one entry states why someone might turn the mark off, and the reason is not legal: it is to avoid two labels on the same file when the publishing platform adds its own. That is a real production concern and it is worth recording precisely, because it is the only sentence in this record where a vendor connects the mark to anything downstream of its own product.

The rest offer no reason at all. On a pricing page none is needed, which is exactly why a pricing page is thin evidence about intent.

3What the regulation says about removal, which is nothing

Article 50 asks for marking and for disclosure. It does not say a mark must be irremovable, and it does not say who may remove one. A reader looking for that rule in the article will not find it, and this record will not supply one by implication.

What the article does supply is a timing rule: the disclosure has to reach the person at the latest at first exposure. A mark that was removed before publication was not there at that moment, which is an observation about sequence rather than a conclusion about anyone's position.
