- Blogger
- Drive
- Groups
- Photos
- Sites
- Classroom

- You get an automated email confirming we’ve received the request
- We review your request.
- We gather more info, if needed. In some cases, we may ask you for more information. If the request doesn’t have enough information for us to evaluate, like missing URLs, we’ll share specific instructions and ask you to resubmit the request.
- You get a notification of any action taken. If the request doesn't meet the requirements for removal, we’ll also include a brief explanation. If your request is denied and later you have additional materials to support your case, you can re-submit your request.
- We may also let the person know that there was a request to restrict sharing of the imagery.

Why was my image not restricted?
There are times when we can’t restrict sharing of an image. For example, we may not restrict sharing of images that are newsworthy or documentary, have a strong public interest, contain unidentifiable subjects, are not actually photos, or if we can’t find the images in question. We will be sure to email you a brief explanation as to why your image was not restricted.
I’m still concerned, what else can I do?
It’s important to understand your rights and get support that’s right for you when you need it. You can access some support resources in our Help Center.
