Digital Protection

& Accountability

If you trusted someone with an intimate image, you shouldn’t have to hope they’ll respect that trust. You should be protected if they don’t.

When that trust is broken, it’s not just personal. It’s systemic.

A safer internet for you, a scarier one for them

Every time just one platform installs Image Angel, the risk for abusers increases. When all the platforms install it? That’s when we’ll create a world where violating someone’s privacy feels too dangerous  to even attempt. Platforms that allow non-consensual sharing without real deterrents aren’t neutral. They’re part of the problem.

Image Angel is the accountability layer platforms have been missing.

Our invisible fingerprinting tech embeds a unique, unremovable mark into every image. If that image is shared without consent, it can be traced back to the source.

If You Think Your Protected Image Has Been Leaked

Help I think my image has been leaked!

Start by taking a breath. If you see your image somewhere unexpected, like in a Telegram group, private chat, or online forum, you don’t need to chase every link or panic.

If you’re in the UK, we recommend you contact one of the NGOs we work with (like The Revenge Porn Helpline, Refuge).

For worldwide help we recommend searching for local charities and organisations through the NOMORE Global Directory.

What if I shared the image on multiple platforms?

Thats totally fine, and part of the reason we exist!

We can help identify which platform the leak came from – that’s part of what the fingerprint reveals.

What happens after I contact a charity or safety organisation?

They’ll listen.
They won’t pressure you to report, name names, or prove anything.

If you’re comfortable, they may ask for the original image and a copy or screenshot of the leaked image. They’ll then contact Image Angel on your behalf so you don’t have to.

How do you know if the image is protected?

Even if the image was cropped, compressed or screenshotted, our system can often recover the fingerprint. If we find one, it tells us:

  • Which platform the image came from

  • Which account viewed it

Absolutely not. Once we confirm the image was protected, you choose what happens next.

Your options include:

  • Requesting the platform to take action (warn, suspend, investigate the user)

  • Requesting legal support or evidence for future steps

  • Choosing not to take any further action at all

  • Asking us to quietly monitor future leaks and assist in building a case

Can I stay anonymous during all this?

Yes. The only part of the image that relates to you is the visual part. Your name or username is not embedded in the watermark, and we don’t need to know who you are. You can stay anonymous through the NGO.

What happens if I want the platform to take action?

With your permission, we contact the platform. We provide:

  • Proof that the image is watermarked

  • The identifier of the account or session that leaked it

The platform can then take steps internally – such as suspending the account, issuing a warning, or conducting their own investigation.

Can I be updated about what happens, or stay out of it?

You decide. Some people want to be told every step. Others prefer not to know.

we will always keep the organisation who contacts us on your behalf informed. It’s then your choice to be contacted by them, all the time or only if further support is needed. You can even opt out of updates altogether.

What happens if I don’t want anything done right now?

That’s completely valid. We can work with your organisation to record the incident in case more evidence surfaces later. You are always welcome to return when you’re ready.

Will I have to prove the image is mine?

No. The system is based on facts, not feelings. If the image carries a fingerprint and we can trace it back to a viewer, that’s enough for us – no further testimony required. Image Angel is only embedded into images that are sent and received in digital spaces that are considered to be private.

Only if you want them to be. The organisations and charities we work with are there to support you, no one will report law enforcement unless you explicitly request it or are in immediate danger.

Alternatives and Edge Cases

If the image has been altered or redrawn by AI:
If it started as an Image Angel–protected image, partial data may still be recoverable. We attempt extraction regardless of compression or transformation.

If you’re not sure if the platform used Image Angel:
Send the image anyway. We’ll check.

If you don’t want to involve a platform at all:
That’s fine. We can log the fingerprint silently in case of future incidents.

If you want to report anonymously:
NGOs can act as your proxy.

If you change your mind mid-process:
You can pause or stop the process at any time.

Abusers rely on anonymity

Image Angel changes that

Image Angel makes leaking an image a risky move for the person doing it. That’s how real deterrence begins.

You can’t stop someone from breaking your trust.
But you can demand that platforms back you up when they do.

Making noise = making change

Your voice matters. And you’re not asking for much: just a solution that works.

We’ve written the email for you.
You don’t have to explain what happened.
You don’t have to defend yourself.
We’re just reminding them that we deserve better, together.
