How TakedownMedia collects, uses, and protects your information.
TakedownMedia ("we," "us," or "our") operates a content removal service that helps individuals request the takedown of photos, videos, and other material published about them online. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We are based in New York, USA, and this policy is governed by the laws of the State of New York and applicable United States federal law.
By using our website and services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
We collect only what we need to process your removal request:
You are not required to create an account to use the service.
We use the information you provide to:
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your uploaded files for any purpose other than processing your request.
To carry out a takedown, we may share the minimum necessary information with the platform, website host, hosting provider, payment processor, or search engine that is in a position to remove or de-index the content. We do not reveal the identity of the person who filed a report to the individual who posted the content unless we are legally required to do so.
We may also disclose information when required by law, such as in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or other lawful request from authorities in the United States.
Uploaded files and report details are stored on our servers with access limited to authorized staff who process requests. We apply reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We retain report details and uploaded files only as long as needed to process your request, provide you with status updates, comply with our legal obligations, and resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we take steps to delete or anonymize it.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to request access, correction, or deletion. Because our service is directed at users in the United States and we are based in New York, we handle such requests in accordance with applicable New York and federal law. To make a request, contact us using the details below.
Our service is intended for adults. Where a request concerns a minor, it must be submitted by a parent, legal guardian, or an authorized representative. We handle information relating to minors with additional care and in accordance with applicable law.
Our website and communications may contain links to third party sites, such as the platforms where content is hosted. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, contact us at privacy@takedownmedia.com. TakedownMedia is based in New York, USA.
