FILE US-NCR/2026SECTION 05 — SAFETY PACKETCLASSIFICATION: CLIENT-CONFIDENTIALSENSITIVE FILES HELD BACKPRIVATE CASE ROUTE

Safety packet — start here

Sextortion or leaked photos? Enter the safe room first.

This is a public safety room, not the sealed client record. Adults 18+ choose the safe door; sensitive files, written terms, and authorization stay inside the client record.

Choose the safe door

  1. 01

    Threat or money demand

    Go human. Do not negotiate.

    Do not pay or trade messages. Keep the thread intact; a person can start from a minimal private summary.

  2. 02

    Content is already online

    Hold the record, not files.

    Keep a private note and any official receipts. The client-record review happens after the safe handoff.

  3. 03

    Someone under 18

    The commercial path stops.

    Use the official referral box. Do not send the content to anyone, including AboutUs.

SAFETY PACKET DESKPUBLIC HOLD BOARDSENSITIVE FILE STAYS OUT

Public hold line

Set the boundary before the story spreads.

You do not need to solve the whole case tonight. You need a usable safety packet, a clear handoff, and a boundary that does not expose the sensitive material again.

STOPHold

Stop feeding the threat.

No payment, no bargaining, no new replies. Leave the thread intact so the record stays usable.

SAVERecord

Save the trail.

Keep the threat thread and any official receipt private. Do not forward or repost the intimate content.

LOCKAccess

Lock the accounts that matter.

Start with email, cloud storage, social accounts, and any device/session list where a stranger could still be logged in.

LINEBoundary

Pick the safe option.

Intimate-image and sextortion facts go to private case review. Minors go to the official child-safety option. Non-intimate matters can use a client record.

05-D - LIVE HANDOFF ROOM
PUBLIC CALMCLIENT RECORDSENSITIVE FILES HELD BACK

Crisis live handoff

The public packet ends before client-record review.

We keep the public page useful without turning it into the client record. Safety boundaries are public; the written boundary belongs in the client record.

PUBLICBOUNDARY

The public packet stops the spiral.

It names what to stop, what to preserve, what to keep out, and which safety boundary applies. It is not the client record.

LIVEBOUNDARY

Sensitive facts start human.

Adult intimate-image, AI-nude, leaked-photo, and sextortion facts start with private case review and a minimal private summary.

FILEBOUNDARY

The client record carries the work.

Private answer, limits, and follow-up stay inside the AboutUs client record.

GATEBOUNDARY

Gated checkout only for panic.

Authorization waits until the safety line, review boundary, and refund posture are written.

Commercial discipline

What the public safety packet does not hand out.

Client handoff receipt

What the client gets after the public room ends.

The public packet stabilizes the situation. The client record carries the review boundary, written terms, and private follow-up needed to make AboutUs useful.

BOUNDARY

Review boundary.

What AboutUs will handle, exclude, refer, or stop is written before work starts.

SURFACE

Sealed record.

What belongs in the client record and what stays outside it are kept separate.

TERM

Outcome terms.

Results-based language, refund posture, and exclusions belong in the written agreement, not the public page.

NEXT

Client follow-up.

Updates stay tied to the record instead of becoming a public story.

OFFICIAL BOUNDARIES - SAFETY FIRST
SAFETY PACKETSENSITIVE FILE STAYS OUTCLIENT RECORD SEALED

Before AboutUs work

Pick the safety line first.

After a leak, threat, or repost, the calmest public safety line is to preserve the boundary, treat official safety lines as ceilings, and keep private follow-up inside the record.

Official boundaries create the first safety record. AboutUs belongs only when the matter needs accountable client-record review after official or free lines are known. The public page names the boundary; the private decision stays inside the record.

OFFICIAL

Use official boundaries when they fit.

Adults can use StopNCII for participating services. If anyone was under 18 when the image was taken, use NCMEC Take It Down and CyberTipline instead.

Check boundary
STANDARD

Treat the clock as a standard.

The 48-hour federal removal window is a legal standard, not an AboutUs promise. The client record carries whether the standard fits the written boundary.

Check local standard
FAILURE

Record official or platform failure.

Official outcomes can support the written record. What AboutUs owns stays inside the client record.

Check failure option
FILE

Keep client-record work separate.

The public page names official and free boundaries. The written boundary belongs inside the client record.

See boundary lines

Safety record

Bring the boundary, not the content. A human can open the safety line from a minimal private summary.

  • A visible surface can be summarized without sending the sensitive file.
  • An official response can be referenced without publishing the handling.
  • Public locations stay summarized until a human opens the record.
  • The intimate file itself is not needed for AboutUs or any commercial intake.
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 immediately to the NCMEC CyberTipline at report.cybertip.org, use NCMEC's Take It Down at takeitdown.ncmec.org, and contact local law enforcement. Do not send the content to anyone — including us.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Is sextortion a crime?
Threats involving intimate images can be criminal, extortionate, and reportable. If there is money demand or coercion, preserve the messages, stop responding, and consider reporting to the FBI at ic3.gov. If anyone involved may be under 18, use NCMEC resources instead of a commercial path.
Should I pay someone threatening me?
No. Don’t pay — not once, not “one last time.” Payment confirms you’re reachable and the demands escalate. Preserve the messages, stop responding, and start a confidential live handoff.
How do I get leaked photos removed from the internet?
Start by preserving a private safety packet without reposting or forwarding the intimate file itself. Use official or platform safety options where they fit, then move sensitive adult matters to private case review.
How fast can leaked or intimate photos be taken down?
Timing depends on the surface, whether the request is complete, and how the platform responds. Where a valid TAKE IT DOWN Act notice applies to a covered platform, the federal window is 48 hours. That is a legal standard, not an AboutUs outcome promise; individual results vary per your written service agreement.
