Intimate Images Are Being Shared After the Death of My Partner
The death of a partner does not extinguish your rights to your own intimate images. If those images are being shared by the deceased's family, estate, or by someone who accessed their devices, your exposure can be uncovered.
The death of a partner can result in intimate images becoming accessible to others through the deceased's phone, computer, cloud storage, or accounts. Family members who discover and share those images, estate administrators who do not adequately secure devices, or friends who access the deceased's accounts can all inadvertently or deliberately distribute intimate content.
Your rights to your own intimate images do not expire with your partner. ScanErase finds and reports your exposure, allowing you to see what is shared without your consent. Your intimacy remains protected even after their passing.
This situation often involves sensitive family dynamics. If you have a cooperative relationship with the deceased's family, a direct request for them to delete images from devices and accounts is worth attempting alongside your discovery process. ScanErase helps you find where your face appears online while you navigate the private side of the situation.
