Intimate Image Removal Policy

Effective date: {{EFFECTIVE_DATE}}

If an intimate image or video of you has been shared on VYBE without your consent, we will remove it within 48 hours of receiving a valid request. This includes images that were created or altered with AI or other technology to look like you ("deepfakes"). You do not need a VYBE account to ask.

This policy follows the US TAKE IT DOWN Act. It is part of our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.

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

1. How to make a request

Use our removal form at vybe-co.com/report. You do not need to sign in or have an account. If you have an account, you can also use "Report" on the profile, Campaign, message or submission and choose "Intimate image shared without consent".

If you cannot use the form, email safety@vybe-co.com with the subject "Intimate image removal".

2. Who can make a request

• The person shown in the image or video; or
• someone authorized to act for them, such as a parent or guardian, lawyer, or other legal representative.

3. What to include

Your request must include:

1. Your signature. Typing your full name counts as a signature.
2. Where the image is: enough information for us to find it, such as a link to the profile, Campaign, Content link or message on VYBE, or a description of where you saw it.
3. A brief statement that you believe in good faith that the image or video is an intimate depiction of you (or of the person you represent) that was published without consent, and any information that helps us understand that.
4. How to contact you: an email address or other contact details.

You do not need to send us a copy of the image. Please do not, unless we ask for it to help find the material.

We use what you send only to handle your request, to prevent the image from being posted again, and as the law requires. We do not tell the person who posted the image who made the request, unless the law requires it.

4. What we do

1. We confirm we received your request by email, and give you a case reference.
2. We remove the image or video within 48 hours of receiving a valid request. If the image is hosted on VYBE, we delete it. If it is in a message, we remove the message. If VYBE holds only a link to it on another service (for example a Creator's post on Instagram or TikTok), we remove the link and anything else on VYBE that displays it, and we help you report it to that service.
3. We make reasonable efforts to find and remove identical copies of the image elsewhere on VYBE, and we block exact copies from being uploaded again.
4. We take action against the account that posted it, normally by permanently closing it and blocking linked accounts. See section 12 of the Community Guidelines.
5. We tell you what we did.

If your request is missing something, we will tell you what we need. We will not delay removal while we wait if we can already find the material and the request is otherwise clear.

5. Images of minors (CSAM)

Any sexual image of a person under 18 is child sexual abuse material (CSAM). We remove it immediately, permanently close the account, preserve information as the law requires, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline, which works with law enforcement. You can report child safety concerns through vybe-co.com/report without an account.

If you were under 18 in the image, you can also use NCMEC's free Take It Down service, which helps remove images across participating platforms.

6. Good-faith removal

We remove material in good faith based on the facts in the request or other information that makes clear an image was shared without consent. We may do this even if it is later determined that the material was lawful. If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake, email safety@vybe-co.com with the subject "Removal appeal". We will review it, but we will not restore material while there is a credible claim that it is a non-consensual intimate image.

7. False requests

Do not submit a request you know is false. Knowingly false requests misuse a process meant to protect people, and we may close the account of anyone who does so.

8. Other help

• The FTC accepts complaints about platforms that do not follow the TAKE IT DOWN Act at TakeItDown.ftc.gov.
• Sharing intimate images without consent is a crime under US federal law and in most states. You can report it to the police.

You can use this process wherever you live.
