Who Can Request Removal

You may request content removal if:

• You are the copyright holder and the image was posted without your permission — please file a DMCA takedown notice instead
• You appear in a photo and did not consent to having your image displayed publicly
• You are a parent or guardian of a minor who appears in a photo
• The content depicts you in a way that violates your privacy or right of publicity

1. Acknowledgment: We will acknowledge your request within 24 hours
2. Review: We will review your request and verify the information provided

Photographers Removing Their Own Content

If you are a registered photographer and want to remove photos you submitted, you can do so instantly through your photographer dashboard without needing to file a formal removal request.

Please note that once a photo has been shared on social media (including our Facebook Page) or downloaded by users via the "Download for Social" feature, we cannot recall those external copies. However, the photo will be removed from our website and will no longer appear in search results or galleries.

Limitations

While we will act promptly on valid removal requests on our own Site, please be aware that:

• We cannot remove content from third-party websites or social media platforms. You may need to contact those platforms directly
• Cached versions of pages may persist temporarily in search engine results. We can request removal from major search engines if needed
• Previously downloaded copies of images are beyond our control

Copyright-Related Removals

If your removal request is based on copyright infringement, please file a formal DMCA takedown notice instead, as this provides you with specific legal protections under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
