Your private photos got out. It is not your fault.

However it got out, this isn’t on you.

Leaks happen through an ex who kept copies, a hacked cloud or email, screenshots pulled from a private chat, or an account that was breached. How it leaked doesn’t change the one fact that matters: sharing intimate images of you without your consent is the violation — not anything you did.

You don’t have to know who leaked them, and you don’t have to confront anyone. A serious review acts on accountable surfaces and search exposure — not on you.

Boundary first. Work stays sealed.

A public page should tell you what to close down today and where the reporting actually goes. It should not expose what belongs inside the confidential client record.

1. Don’t pay, and don’t bargain.

   If someone is threatening to spread the photos unless you pay, don’t — not once. Payment confirms you’re reachable and the demands usually continue.

2. Save the evidence — don’t spread it.

   Write down every public location and the date you found it. Don’t forward or repost the content itself; the operating detail belongs in the client record.

3. Get a professional read.

   Start the private case online with one safe public pointer. Stripe opens a file-light case room and keeps AboutUs work behind a written boundary.

Removal acts on the accountable surface — not on you.

Non-consensual intimate images are covered by the TAKE IT DOWN Act. For a valid victim notice, the law sets a 48-hour removal clock for covered platforms and known identical copies. Most people need the boundary, a clean evidence trail, and a human who can review the client record without pulling the sensitive file into commercial intake.

If the same photos keep reappearing, the next-step record belongs in the client record, not on the public page. Search de-listing hides a result when content cannot yet be deleted at the source — a fallback, never a substitute for taking it down.

A leak is a spread problem, not a person problem.

With a leak you usually cannot name who put it up, and often the first place you found it is not the first place it appeared. That changes the job. The question stops being “who do we go after” and becomes “where is it now, where will it be next week, and which of those places has a rule we can use.”

Two things are worth doing today regardless of who you hire. Close the door: change the password on the account the images most likely came from, turn on two-factor authentication, and revoke every old shared album or folder link you still have access to. Then write down every public location you have already found, with the date you found it, before you start reporting — that list is the only thing that tells you later whether the situation is shrinking or growing.

What we will not tell you is that a leak can be erased from the internet. Copies that were taken before a removal can exist where no rule reaches them. Source removal is the goal, search de-listing is a fallback when the source will not move, and we name which one an item is getting in writing before you authorize anything.

Honest about results.

We don’t make guarantees, and we won’t pretend a fallback is a removal. Our core work is results-based: for eligible cases we accept, the terms — including the written item, intended outcome, search-exposure limits if any, and refund term — are defined in your written service agreement. We tell you up front what’s realistically removable and what isn’t. We’re a removal agency, not a law firm; if your situation needs a lawyer, we’ll say so and coordinate or refer. The public page shows the boundary; the AboutUs client record contains the written boundary, client updates, and outcome labels.

REPRESENTATIVE SCENARIO — composite of typical engagements, anonymized. Individual results vary; eligibility and any results-based terms are defined in your written service agreement.

Private photos shared from a group chat surface on a public page and spread through reposts. The source context, receipts, security context, and search exposure are documented privately; the case record stays inside the client record, with source status and search fallback labeled plainly.
