Intimate Image Removal Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

This policy is subject to change.

This policy describes how Burg Social handles requests to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery (“NCII”) connected to Burg content, consistent with the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act. It is separate from our DMCA and Copyright Policy, which addresses copyright claims.

1. Who This Is For

This process is for:

  • The person depicted in the reported image or video.

  • A parent or guardian submitting on behalf of a depicted minor.

  • Another authorized representative of the depicted person.

You do not need a Burg account to submit a request.

2. What Qualifies

This process covers nonconsensual intimate imagery connected to Burg content - meaning an authentic image or video, or a computer-generated or “deepfake” image or video, that depicts a real, identifiable person in an intimate or sexually explicit context, and was published or shared without that person’s consent.

This process is not a general content-removal or dispute channel. For other concerns, use the in-app Report button, our Safety Center, or Support. For copyright claims, use our DMCA and Copyright Policy.

3. What a Valid Request Must Include

A complete, actionable request must include all of the following:

  • Your name (signature).

  • Your contact information (an email address, so we can send status updates).

  • Your relationship to the person depicted (for example, “self,” “parent of the depicted minor,” or “authorized representative”).

  • An attestation that the information you provide is accurate and that you are the depicted person or are authorized to act on their behalf.

  • At least one of the following, so Burg staff can locate the content: a direct link to the content on Burg, or a description sufficient to locate it (for example, the username or handle involved, an approximate date, and a description of the content). No internal Burg ID is required - members of the public submitting this form do not have access to one.

Incomplete requests cannot be processed automatically and may require follow-up before they can be actioned.

4. How to Submit a Request

Submit a request through our Intimate Image Removal Request form. You will receive a tracking code after submitting.

5. What Happens After You Submit

Burg Social reviews complete, valid requests and acts within 48 hours of receipt - in practice, action is typically taken immediately once the request is complete, valid, and the content can be located.

  • If Burg can locate the reported content from a complete, valid request, the content is removed, along with known identical copies of that content on Burg.

  • If Burg cannot locate the reported content from the information provided - which may be common for requests submitted only with a text description, since Burg does not have public content URLs to automatically resolve against - nothing is removed automatically. A member of our team follows up using the contact information you provided.

  • If a request is missing required information, it cannot be processed as submitted, and Burg may follow up for the missing details.

6. Retention of Request Information

Reported media itself is not retained as part of this process - content that is removed is removed, not preserved for evidentiary purposes. Information that identifies the requester (your name, contact information, attestation, and any locator details you provide) is generally retained for 90 days after your request is resolved and then purged. A minimal compliance and audit record describing what was removed, when, and the outcome is retained longer for legal and audit purposes. See our Privacy Policy (Section 6) for details.

7. Misuse of This Process

Submitting a knowingly false or fraudulent removal request may result in account restrictions, denial of the request, and other consequences available to Burg Social or under applicable law.
