Nonconsensual Intimate Image Removal Requests

Effective May 10, 2026

If intimate images of you have been shared on Northgiven without your consent — including real images, altered images, AI-generated images, deepfakes, or screenshots — you can request their removal here. You do not need to be a Northgiven user to file a request.

Northgiven aims to remove validly reported content, plus known identical copies on the platform, within 48 hours of receiving a valid request.

What This Covers

This process applies to intimate images or sexual content involving you that was shared without your consent, including:

Real photographs or video
Edited or digitally altered images
AI-generated images or deepfakes
Screenshots of private messages or video calls
Sexual content originally shared in confidence

If the content involves someone under 18, see the NCMEC resources below — that is treated as a child safety matter and handled separately under our Child Safety Standards.

How to Submit a Request

You do not need a Northgiven account. Anyone can file a removal request.

Step 1: Email safety@northgiven.com

Use the subject line: NCII Removal Request

Step 2: Include the following in your email

Your name (first and last)
Your contact email address
A description of the content (what it shows, when it may have been taken or shared)
Where you saw it on Northgiven — include the username, profile link, or conversation ID if you have it. You can also include a URL or timestamp. Do not attach the image itself.
Whether you are the person depicted or filing on behalf of someone else (if filing on behalf of another adult, include your relationship and their consent)

Step 3: We will confirm receipt

You will receive an email confirmation within 24 hours acknowledging your request is under review.

Step 4: We act

Northgiven reviews the request and, if valid, removes the reported content and any known identical copies from the platform within 48 hours of confirmation.

What Happens After You Submit

Confirmation: You receive an email confirming we received your request, typically within 24 hours.
Review: We review the request to confirm the content falls within scope.
Removal: Valid content is removed within 48 hours of a valid submission. We also remove known identical copies on the platform.
Follow-up: If we need more information to process your request, we will email you. Providing more detail speeds up the process.
Outcome: We will notify you when the content has been removed, or explain why a request could not be fulfilled.

Your Privacy

Northgiven handles removal requests with care and discretion.

You do not need to upload, attach, or send us the intimate image itself. Descriptions, usernames, URLs, and timestamps are sufficient for us to identify and act on content.
Your removal request is treated as confidential. We do not share your identity or the details of your request with the reported user.
We may preserve evidence of the reported content and associated account activity as required by applicable law before or after removal. This is a legal obligation and does not mean the content remains accessible to users.

Emergency or Ongoing Threats

If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first.

If someone is actively threatening to share images, documenting the threat (screenshots, messages) may help law enforcement. You can also report the account in-app using the report button on any profile or conversation.

External Resources
