WHAT TO SAVE, WHAT TO KEEP PRIVATE

Evidence without public exposure.

Six exhibits, A through F: non-consensual imagery and deepfakes, defamatory articles, harmful search results, attacks on executives, live crises, and AI answers that repeat a lie. Each one explains what is safe to save, what you should never upload, and when a private review makes sense. How a specific case is handled stays in that person’s private case file.

If you’re reading this in the worst week of your life: Exhibit A is yours — start there.

EVIDENCEWHAT TO SAVENO SENSITIVE-FILE UPLOAD PATH FOR INTIMATE CASES

Before Exhibit A through F

Evidence first. Exposure never.

The best removal request is not the loudest one. It has enough evidence to be reviewed, follows a written scope, and creates no extra exposure while you ask for help.

SUMMARY

A private summary before any files.

A short private summary is enough to start. For intimate-image cases, describe what happened instead of sending the sensitive file.

PRIVATE

Sensitive material stays out of public view.

The case file uses redacted details and short notes, so a request can be reviewed without exposing more than it needs.

SCOPE

Every item gets a written scope.

Public pages stop at general labels: official support, a written scope, a referral, or no AboutUs offer. The answer for a specific case stays in that person's private case file.

LABELS

Result labels stay honest.

Request submitted, Source removed, Search delisted, and Unresolved are separate labels, never blended into one promise. Your report says what happened to each link; public pages don't.

Kept private

Your case stays private.

This page shows what is safe to save and when a private case review makes sense. Our read of a specific case is shared only with that person, inside their private case file.

PRIVATE

Our answer

What we can work on, what needs someone else, and what we decline stay in your private case file.

PRIVATE

Case notes

Scope details and case context are written for you, not published on this page.

PRIVATE

Evidence

Receipts, screenshots, and match notes stay private; only the minimum needed for a request is shared.

PRIVATE

Follow-up notes

If follow-up is agreed, notes on reposts and next steps stay in the private case file.

02C - WHAT WE NEED TO ANSWER
WHAT WE NEED TO ANSWERSCOPE CHECKCASE DETAILS KEPT PRIVATE

Before we can answer

A clear answer needs a few facts.

Before AboutUs can answer clearly, each matter needs a few facts: what the item is, which rule applies, what can be written into a scope, and what evidence can stay private.

ITEM
Question

What exactly needs review?

Private case file

Where it appears — a page, account, or search result — as a public link or a short description.

What you get

One line per item, each with its own written scope.

AUTHORITY
Question

Which rule applies?

Private case file

An official option, a platform policy, a copyright or legal right, a referral, or no AboutUs offer.

What you get

A clear label before any AboutUs work, not a blended promise.

REVIEW
Question

What goes in the private case file?

Private case file

Redacted evidence, the written scope, the requested result, and a record of what was sent.

What you get

A record you can check, never published.

CHECK
Question

What can be shared?

Private case file

The site's response, the result label, a record of what was sent, or a closed or referral note.

What you get

A written report for you, in plain wording.

No intimate file in public intake.

No minor-involved content in commercial work.

No search-only result described as deletion.

No public step list, and no one's case notes.

MANDATORY REFERRALMINORS — NEVER A COMMERCIAL CASE

If this involves someone under 18

We work with adults (18+) only. If intimate images of someone under 18 are involved, report it to the Australian Centre to Counter Child Exploitation (ACCCE), led by the Australian Federal Police, at accce.gov.au/report; you can also report to the eSafety Commissioner at esafety.gov.au/report. Youth can call Kids Helpline on 1800 55 1800. Do not send the content to anyone — including us.

EXHIBIT ANCII & DEEPFAKE REMOVAL — PRIVATE REVIEW FIRSTPUBLIC GUIDE

NCII & Deepfake Removal

24-HOUR REMOVAL-NOTICE WINDOW

What was taken from you starts with a private case review. Non-consensual intimate images and AI-generated deepfakes are pursued via the eSafety Commissioner's removal scheme and each platform's policy. We work out which rules apply, keep a safe evidence record, and keep sensitive material out of public forms.

If you found this page in the worst week of your life — you are not out of options. Start here.

WHO THIS COVERS

  • Leaked or stolen intimate images

    Hacked accounts, cloud breaches, lost devices — how it got out doesn’t change your rights.

  • Content shared by an ex or acquaintance

    Consent to take a photo was never consent to publish it.

  • AI deepfakes of your face or body

    It doesn’t matter that it isn’t “really” you. An AI-generated intimate image of your likeness can be reported too.

  • Recordings made without consent

    Hidden cameras, calls, and streams captured without your knowledge.

  • Sextortion material used to threaten you

    Threatening to post is a contravention under the Online Safety Act 2021. Don't pay — once it appears, the eSafety Commissioner can order it removed within 24 hours of serving a notice.

Adults (18 and over) only. Anything involving a minor is never handled as a commercial removal — see the bordered notice below.

WHICH RULES CAN APPLY

The law and platform rules — non-consensual intimate imagery, real or AI-generated, is pursued via the eSafety Commissioner's removal scheme and each platform's policy. Our specific answer stays in your private case file.

Copyright — when you took the photo, or your paid content was copied, a copyright request can apply. That detail stays in your private case file, not on a public page.

Platform policy — each platform’s own rules can apply too. The specifics for your case stay in your private case file.

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • A minimal private summary of where the content appears — or what happened, if you can’t bring yourself to look
  • Roughly when it surfaced, if you know
  • Whether anyone is threatening or demanding anything — sextortion changes the safety path
  • Nothing else. The private content stays out of public review

WHAT WE’LL TELL YOU HONESTLY

In the private review we tell you what we can work on, what could only be reduced in search, and what we cannot accept. Search-only work is never sold as deletion, and we put the scope in writing.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE — a hypothetical situation written to explain how we work. It is not a client case and does not describe a real result. Outcomes vary; eligibility and any results-based terms are set in your written service agreement.
Several related sitesExample: each item labeled on its ownNCII / Deepfake

Hypothetical: leaked intimate images and AI-generated fakes appear on several related sites. In a case like this, requests are reviewed under eSafety rules and platform policies, and any follow-up stays tied to the private case file.

Request a private review

A short private summary only. Keep the sensitive file with you; a person reviews it before any payment.

EXHIBIT BDEFAMATION & ARTICLE REMOVAL — FALSE STATEMENTSPUBLIC GUIDE

Defamatory Content & Article Removal

The post is false. It does not get blended into a vague reputation package. Defamatory articles, forum threads, fake reviews, and copied pages are reviewed as evidence, with limits and search-only work labeled separately.

WHAT WE CAN REVIEW

  • Defamatory articles and blog posts

  • Fake or malicious reviews

  • Forum and Reddit threads

  • “Complaint” and shaming sites

  • Scraper and syndication copies

    One defamatory article doesn’t stay one article — related copies are listed in your written scope before AboutUs accepts work.

  • Outdated coverage that misrepresents who you are today

HOW WE APPROACH IT

The original first — the strongest request starts with the item that actually needs to change. What gets pursued, and in what order, is written into your private case file.

Kept private — emails and next steps stay in your private case file, not on a public page.

A lawyer when needed — if court action or an attorney is the honest option, we say so before treating search-only work as progress.

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • The URL of the original article or post
  • Any copies you’ve already noticed — related copies are grouped in your private case file
  • One line on what, specifically, is false
  • Anything that documents the truth, if you have it (helpful, not required)

WHAT WE’LL TELL YOU

A false statement of fact is stronger than opinion or true-but-harmful coverage. This page can’t sort your facts; a private review gives you a written scope before you pay anything.

ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE — a hypothetical situation written to explain how we work. It is not a client case and does not describe a real result. Outcomes vary; eligibility and any results-based terms are set in your written service agreement.
Copied articleExample: original and copies tracked apartDefamation

Hypothetical: a defamatory article is copied onto other sites. In a case like this, the original, each copy, and any search-only result are tracked separately, so one result is never reported as another.

We’ll tell you which of these fits your situation — before you pay anything.

EXHIBIT CSEARCH DELISTING & SUPPRESSION — A LIMITED RESULT, LABELEDPUBLIC GUIDE

Search Result Delisting & Suppression

SEARCH ONLY

When removal at the source is not available, search-only work is labeled plainly as a limited result, never sold as a removal.

WHEN THIS MAY BELONG

  • Content that stays up after removal requests

    Rare — and when it happens, we say so instead of inventing progress.

  • Official records and filings that can’t be deleted

  • Truthful reporting that can’t be removed but shouldn’t define you

  • Stale results that outlive the original page

    Cached and lingering listings that keep surfacing after the page itself is already gone.

A LIMITED RESULT

Search-engine review — formal removal and outdated-content options are considered when the original page cannot be changed, with the limit labeled plainly.

Accurate results — true, current information can be published around what cannot come down. Slower than removal, honest about it, and never sold as deletion.

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • The search query that surfaces the result
  • URLs of the results that hurt
  • What’s been tried already, if anything

WHY WE CALL IT LIMITED

Delisting removes a result from search; the page itself may still exist for anyone holding the link. When delisting is what you’re getting, your written scope says so in those words. If a vendor leads with suppression, ask them why.

Get help now

We’ll tell you whether removal or delisting is what your case actually needs.

EXHIBIT DEXECUTIVE & CORPORATE — DISCREET BY DESIGNPUBLIC GUIDE

Executive & Corporate Reputation

Investors, boards, journalists — and now AI assistants — summarize you before you ever get a meeting. We review what they will find, work to correct what is false, and request removal of what is there to do damage.

THE MODERN THREAT MODEL

  • Coordinated attack pages

    Timed to raises, exits, and appointments — built to surface exactly when diligence runs.

  • Leak amplification

    Leaked data spreading before your lawyers have the facts.

  • Impersonation and fake profiles

    Accounts speaking in your name to your investors and your staff.

  • AI-answer poisoning

    If an assistant has ingested an attack page, the smear becomes the summary.

WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER

Crisis — something broke tonight. A person reviews it first; evidence saving and any removal work start once the scope is agreed.

Before an event — before the raise, the IPO, the board seat: a private review of what diligence will find and what should be corrected.

Ongoing — recurring review of the public pages you agree on, if that is in your written scope.

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • A short private summary — from you or one person you choose
  • The key date: raise, exit, appointment, or filing
  • Counsel or comms we should coordinate with, if any

HOW WE KEEP IT DISCREET

Confidentiality terms are written into your agreement, and one private case file holds all correspondence about your matter. No client names are published on this site.

Starts with the same first question. Share only what you’re comfortable sharing.

EXHIBIT ECRISIS RESPONSE & FOLLOW-UPPUBLIC GUIDE

Crisis Response & Continuity

Something broke tonight. Live help and a private case review keep the next step clear: a person sorts out what we can handle, what needs someone else, and what should not be paid work.

BUILT FOR

  • A leak spreading right now

  • A thread or story gathering speed

  • A new copy of something already in your case

  • A threat with a deadline attached

THE FIRST HOURS

Start with a short private summary. If intimate content is involved, keep sensitive files with you.

Hold off on scattered reports until the evidence is saved and the scope is clear. Timing details belong in your private case file.

If it happened tonight, Section 05 — Safety Steps — helps you stabilize without guessing.

SECTION 05 — SAFETY STEPS →

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • A short private summary of what changed — not intimate files
  • A safe way to reach you
  • Your go-ahead for our team to review it privately

AFTER THE FIRE IS OUT

Each finished item stays in your private case file. If a copy reappears and follow-up is in your written scope, the next review starts from that record.

Request a private review

Private case review is the safest option for threats and intimate-image crises; no public form or checkout.

EXHIBIT FAI ANSWER REPUTATION — THE NEW FRONT LINEPUBLIC GUIDE

AI Answer Reputation

Map the public pages AI systems repeat, pursue supportable corrections, and keep answer boundaries inside the client record.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

  • An assistant repeating a defamatory claim as fact

  • AI Overviews framing years-old coverage as current

  • Chat answers surfacing content you already had removed

  • Investor and hiring questions about you answered from attack pages

HOW WE APPROACH IT

The sources first — AI answers repeat what they read, so the pages they cite are usually the strongest thing to change.

The answer itself — platform feedback, corrections, and accurate published information are options too. Which one comes first is decided in your private case review.

SAFE STARTING POINT

  • The question you asked and the answer you got, typed out as text
  • Which assistant: ChatGPT, Gemini, AI Overviews, Copilot, other
  • The underlying pages, if the answer cites them

THE HONEST LIMIT

No one can force a model to say anything — anyone promising that is selling something else. What can be reviewed is what the model reads and the corrections around it. Where your case stands stays in your private case file.

Get help now

Bring the question and the answer as text. We’ll tell you what can be reviewed and what should stay private.

NOT SURE WHICH EXHIBIT IS YOURS?

Start with a private summary, not files.

For intimate images, deepfakes, or sextortion, start a private case review and describe what happened. For defamation, doxxing, search, or AI-answer issues, ask us with a short summary. Keep sensitive files with you — they never go in forms or checkout.
