11th May 2026 – New Policy: Non-consensual Intimate Image Takedown
We’ve published a new Non-consensual Intimate Image Takedown Policy setting out how individuals can request the removal of non-consensual intimate visual depictions, including AI-generated Digital Forgeries, from Fanvue.
What the Policy covers
- Who can submit a request: the depicted individual, or an Authorised Representative (such as a parent, legal guardian, or attorney) acting on their behalf.
- How to submit a request: by email to takedown@fanvue.com, with the information set out in Section 1.
- Fanvue’s response: removal or disablement of the reported content within 48 hours of a valid request, reasonable steps to remove substantially similar copies, and reasonable steps to prevent re-upload.
- Account action: users found to have published non-consensual intimate content may have their accounts permanently terminated under General Terms – Section 16 (Termination).
- Abuse of the process: knowingly false or fraudulent requests may constitute a violation of applicable law and will result in account sanctions under the Acceptable Use Policy.
Why?
The Policy reflects Fanvue’s obligations under the TAKE IT DOWN Act in the United States and the Crime and Policing Act 2026 in the United Kingdom (which amends the Online Safety Act 2023). It sets out a single, clear route for affected individuals to have non-consensual content removed quickly and consistently.
Where to find it
The Policy is available at legal.fanvue.com/ncii-takedown-policy.

- Acceptable Use Policy – Section 2.3 (Sexual & Explicit Content), in the clause prohibiting non-consensual intimate material.

11th May 2026 – Enforcement Actions Clarified
We’ve clarified the enforcement actions available to Fanvue in response to a breach of our policies. The updates make clear that, where appropriate, Fanvue may remove some or all User Content from an Account, separately from suspending or terminating the Account itself.
What’s changed?
Acceptable Use Policy – Section 7 (Breach Consequences)
- Added a new clause confirming that Fanvue may remove some or all User Content from an Account where the Content breaches an applicable Fanvue Policy, with or without suspending or terminating the Account.
- Renumbered the remaining bullets in Section 7.1 accordingly.
General Terms & Conditions – Section 16 (Account Suspension and Termination)
- Updated Section 16.3 so that the same grounds that may give rise to account-level action (suspension, restriction, or termination) may also give rise to content-level action (removal of User Content).
Content Moderation & Protection Policy
- Updated a cross-reference to reflect the renumbering in the Acceptable Use Policy.
Why?
These changes bring the published policies in line with how moderation operates day to day and give clearer reference points where Content-level action is the proportionate response to a breach.
