Removals / Intimate images shared without consent
Images of you are online. You never agreed to that.
This is a crime in Australia and in most other countries, and there are official routes that act fast and cost nothing. Start there. Then a person here handles the rest with you: every copy, every request, and what search shows for your name.
Confidential. Nothing you write here is shared with anyone else, and nobody is contacted without your say so.

Before anything else
Start with eSafety
The eSafety Commissioner can require platforms to take intimate images down, usually within days, and can act against the person who shared them. It is free and confidential. If you are in immediate danger, call 000.

Where you stand
This was done to you.
Speed matters, which is why the official report comes first: it is free, it is confidential, and it has legal force behind it.
You are not the one who did something wrong.
You should not have to go looking for every copy yourself.
You can ask for help without telling the whole story.
What we do about it
A person, and a record of everything.
What we do
- List every copy you know about and find the ones you may not, so one report covers all of them.
- Prepare and lodge removal requests with platforms and search engines wherever a route exists, with a record of every request and every answer.
- Move what cannot come down off the first page of searches for your name, under our published suppression service and its guarantee.
- Work only with you, or with someone you have authorised in writing. We confirm that before anything starts.
What we will not do
- Promise that anything will be removed. A removal is a request, and the platform decides.
- Contact the person who shared the images, or anyone else, without your say so.
- Charge anything before you have the scope and the cost in writing.
Before you pay anything
In writing first. No price on this page.
Every situation here is different, so a person looks before anyone names a figure. You get the scope and the cost in writing, and nothing is charged until you have it.
A written scope
What can be requested, what can be moved instead, and what each part costs. Every engagement is scoped in writing before you pay.
You stay in charge
We work only with you, or with someone you have authorised. Nobody is contacted and nothing starts without your say so.
You only pay for what moved.
Whatever has to be moved down instead is priced from the published list and carries the same guarantee as every order.
Tell a person
Start with a few words.
Say what is online and where, as much or as little as you are comfortable with. A person reads it and replies by email within one business day with what we can do and what it would cost.
If you are in immediate danger, call 000. Lifeline is on 13 11 14, any hour.
