About Revenge Porn Helpline

Revenge Porn Helpline is a UK-based support service that helps adults deal with intimate image abuse. If someone’s had private sexual photos or videos shared without consent, received threats about sharing intimate images (sextortion), or had deepfake pornography made of them, this is where they can get help. The service is free, confidential, and government-funded. it provides practical support like helping get intimate images removed from websites and social media platforms, advice on reporting to police, and emotional support throughout the process. The helpline works with major tech platforms like Bumble and TikTok through initiatives like StopNCII, a tool that helps prevent intimate images from being shared across multiple platforms. You can reach them by phone, email, or through its website’s online form.

Privacy deep-dive

In summary

In our assessment, this SWGfL privacy policy is unusually transparent for a support/helpline context, offering plain-language and child-friendly versions alongside detailed rights and retention information. However, we found some broad catch-all clauses (e.g., AI training use, general business-purpose sharing) and less clearly bounded retention for sensitive helpline disclosure content that could be tightened.

  • The reviewed text describes a plain-language summary and child-friendly version of the policy
  • The reviewed text states a 7-year retention period for general contact details and 3-year period for Platform Partner verification records
  • The reviewed text describes one-way, non-reversible hashing for StopNCII images
  • The reviewed text names specific third-party verification vendors (Deloitte LLP, Neterium)
  • The reviewed text does not specify a defined retention period for helpline disclosure content (situation details, images/URLs reported)
