Image Removal and Copyright Reports
This guide explains the options for images shown in FaceByPhoto search results, images hosted on other sites, and requests concerning a photo or report you submitted.
Delete your own upload or report
Use the upload controls to discard a pending photo or your search history to delete a saved report. You can request account deletion in account settings. Deletion starts cleanup of data we control. External providers and source websites handle their own copies.
Privacy and removal requests
If a result shows your likeness and you want it reviewed within FaceByPhoto, note the source page or image URL, where the result appeared and why you are requesting removal. This also applies if you do not have an account. If you are acting for someone else, explain your relationship and authority. Use the minimum information needed to identify the image. Keep identity documents and additional face photos private unless secure verification is necessary.
To remove the copy hosted on another website, use that site’s reporting process or contact its operator. You can ask the relevant search engine to review a listing through its own process. Removal from one service may leave the image available elsewhere.
Copyright reports
If you own the copyright or are authorized to act for the owner, identify the protected work and give the exact URL or other information needed to locate the image or link at issue. Include a way to reach you and explain your authority. The notice process required by applicable law may call for additional statements and a signature.
Where to submit a request
The published policy will identify the channel for privacy, image removal and copyright requests. This page provides instructions. The Help Center covers account deletion and removal at the source.
