Report an Intimate Image Shared Without Consent

How to report

If you are in danger right now, call 911.

Who can ask

• The person shown in the image.
• Someone authorized to act for them, such as a parent or legal guardian, or a lawyer.

This covers real images and images that were created or altered with AI.

What to include

1. Your name and signature. A typed name is fine.
2. Where the image is: which Ridgewill app, and anything that helps us find it, such as the group, the person who shared it, or the date.
3. A statement that it was shared without the consent of the person shown.
4. How to contact you.

If you are acting for someone else, say so, and tell us how you are authorized to act for them.

What we do

• We remove the image, and make reasonable efforts to remove any identical copies we know of, as soon as possible and no later than 48 hours after we receive a valid request.
• We give you a reference number and tell you what we did.
• We may suspend or close the account that shared it, as our Terms allow.

Images of anyone under 18

We remove any sexual image of a minor, close the account that shared it, preserve what the law requires, and report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC). You can also report it to NCMEC directly through the CyberTipline.

Our rules

Sharing intimate images of anyone without their consent breaks section 7 of the Ridgewill Terms of Service, which also describes this process.
