Preserve useful evidence without redistributing intimate images

Good evidence usually means preserving public links, account identifiers, dates, threats and report references—not downloading, forwarding or repeatedly copying intimate media. The goal is to keep enough context for legitimate reporting while reducing further exposure.

What to do

  1. Save each exact public page or post URL.
  2. Record usernames, account identifiers, dates and relevant surrounding context.
  3. Keep report, ticket and reply references from platforms or search services.
  4. Preserve threatening or extortion messages when they are relevant to safety or reporting.
  5. If the person shown was under 18 when the image was created, do not download or resend the image merely to make a report.
Evidence preservation should minimize unnecessary copies. Reclaim’s link-based workflow does not require the intimate file to begin organizing removal.

Common questions

Do I need screenshots of the intimate image?

Not necessarily. Exact public links, account identifiers, dates and safe surrounding context can often preserve the reporting trail without making another copy of the intimate media.

What if the image was created when I was under 18?

Do not download or resend it just to create evidence. Use age-appropriate reporting and hash-protection services with material already on your device.

Reclaim keeps website removal, Google/search removal, deadlines, verification and monitoring separate so one successful step is not mistaken for complete removal.
