Leaked intimate content: where do you start?

A starting point for organizing information and finding support channels.

Start with the minimum needed

If an intimate image was shared without your permission, you do not have to face the situation without support. To begin an assessment, describe what happened and which platforms the content appears on.

Organize the links without spreading the content

Note the page links and profile names. Avoid redistributing the content. Do not send intimate material at first contact with a support service.

Know the available channels

Platforms may have dedicated forms for non-consensual intimate content. Google also accepts requests relating to personal sexual images, including fake content, under its criteria.

StopNCII offers a free tool for eligible adults. It creates a digital fingerprint of the file on your device and shares that identifier with participating platforms. The tool does not cover the entire internet.

If the image depicts someone under 18, do not download, capture or share the material. Use the platform's dedicated reporting channels.

An assessment guides the next steps

The choice of channels depends on the content and context. Learn about Erasly's NCII support.
