Non-consensual Intimate Image Takedown Policy

Updated: 11th May 2026

Fanvue is committed to the safety and dignity of all individuals. This Policy describes the procedures for submitting and responding to requests for the removal of non-consensual intimate visual depictions in accordance with the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act (the “TAKE IT DOWN Act”) in the United States, and the Crime and Policing Act 2026 (which amends the Online Safety Act 2023) in the United Kingdom, and applies exclusively to content published on fanvue.com.

This Policy supplements the General Terms & Conditions and other applicable Fanvue Policies. In the event of a conflict between this Policy and the General Terms, the terms of this Policy shall prevail for the subject matter it governs.

All defined terms used herein shall have the meaning assigned in the General Terms & Conditions, unless otherwise stated.

DEFINITIONS

“TAKE IT DOWN Act” means the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act, signed into law in the United States on 19th May 2025.

“Crime and Policing Act 2026” means the Crime and Policing Act 2026 (UK), which received Royal Assent on 29th April 2026 and which amends the Online Safety Act 2023 to impose duties on user-to-user services to take down NCII within 48 hours of a valid report.

“NCII” means non-consensual intimate visual depiction: any photograph, video, or other visual content depicting an identifiable individual in a sexually explicit manner that was published without that individual’s consent. This includes content falling within the meaning of section 66B of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 for the purposes of UK law.

“Digital Forgery” means any intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual created or altered through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or any other computer-generated or technological means, that a reasonable person would find indistinguishable from an authentic depiction.

“Removal Request” refers to a formal notification submitted by or on behalf of a depicted individual requesting removal of NCII or a Digital Forgery under this Policy.

“Authorised Representative” means a parent, legal guardian, attorney, or other person expressly authorised to act on behalf of a depicted individual.
