Terms & Conditions

Content safety and moderation

Adult pornography is prohibited: sexually explicit material primarily intended for sexual arousal, explicit sexual acts, and pornographic genital close-ups. Nudity alone is not pornography. Lawful fine-art photography, maternity portraits, non-explicit boudoir, and medical, educational, documentary or narrative work are assessed in context, including the rights and consent of the people depicted.

We prohibit child sexual abuse or exploitation material, sexualization of minors, sexual exploitation, nonconsensual intimate imagery (including altered or synthetic imagery), threats and incitement to violence. Explicit violence intended to shock, glorify abuse or degrade a victim is prohibited. Journalistic, documentary, artistic or narrative context may be considered; it never excuses unlawful content. These rules also cover AI-generated content.

These rules apply to proofs, galleries, subgalleries, portfolios, attachments, delivery ZIPs, archived originals and imports through the website, apps or Lightroom plugin. They cover shared, private, unpublished and password-protected content. Privacy settings do not exempt content from these rules or promise that it is inaccessible to the operator or authorities acting lawfully.

Where permitted by law and subject to required notices and consent, we may review new or existing content and relevant technical records at any time to protect people, investigate reports, enforce these terms and meet legal obligations. Human access is restricted to authorized people for those purposes. Fingerprint matching and automated detection may be used after required assessments and notices. No systematic automated upload scanning is enabled as of this revision; the current review process is manual. A flag is not proof of illegality or guilt.

Depending on the facts, we may request information, restrict access, preserve a file, suspend an account or remove content. We may act without advance notice where safety, urgency or law requires it. Access restriction is separate from deletion; previously downloaded or cached copies cannot always be recalled.

Where facts justify reporting, we proactively contact appropriate authorities where required or permitted by law. We do not promise arrest or conviction. Disclosures are limited to what is legally required or justified, using secure channels: relevant files, account identifiers, timestamps and available technical observations. A deletion request does not override a legal preservation duty. Preservation has a documented scope, basis and review date; applicable legal periods, orders and destruction requirements govern. Notices may be deferred where required by law or where they could prejudice an investigation.

Your content remains yours. We never sell it or use it, or permit a provider to use it, to train, fine-tune, evaluate or improve AI models. Authorized providers may process files only for agreed functions under appropriate confidentiality and retention controls. Safety analysis grants no training rights.

To report abuse or appeal a decision, provide the link or identifier and factual details. Do not send sexual content involving children. Ordinary appeals receive human review; criminal investigations and preservation obligations follow a separate process and may limit what we can disclose. Material changes are subject to legally required notice or consent before application.
