All this means that it is the right place to go if we are aware of the publication of photographs, videos or audios with sexual or violent content on the Internet without the affected people having given their consent.

Of course, to request the help of this organization you need to be a Spanish citizen or be in Spain, both as a resident or as a visitor. In the event that none of these cases are met, it will not be possible for the Spanish Data Protection Agency to act.

When starting the procedures, the steps to follow are simple. The first thing to do is visit the AEPD website. In the case of being a minor, there is a specific section to contact directly.

Having identified the personal situation in which we find ourselves, what we have to do is access the "Priority Channel". This section of the website explains the steps to follow and all the documentation that must be provided.

The request can be made electronically or on paper, for the first it is necessary to have Cl@vePIN or Cl@ve Permanente. In both cases, what is required is the following:

After completing the request with the necessary information, an administrative process will begin with which the removal of images, videos or audios with sexual or violent content published without consent will be requested.

The truth is that, unfortunately, no one is free from being able to suffer a situation of this kind. In fact, Paula Gonu, an Instagram influencer and YouTube content creator, asked for help on Twitter because someone was trying to extort her into paying €1,600.

The person, in principle, would have requested this amount in order not to publish private images or videos on social networks. Apart from the seriousness of this situation, this person would have illegally accessed Paula Gonu's phone and would have stolen these contents.

In these cases, you must never give in and the best way to act is to take all this to professionals such as those of the Spanish Agency for Data Protection. Nobody has the right to share private content without consent and doing so is considered a crime with jail sentences.
