Title: Removal of portfolio from third party sites (was: Be aware)
Post by: UncleGene on December 06, 2009, 14:14

Just some words of caution

If you submit to CanStockPhoto, your images are available on Fotosearch
Fotosearch images are sold by subscription at StockPhotoPro

If you close your CanStockPhoto account, images disappear from Fotosearch, but not from SPP - and there are _no means_ to delete from there, other than manually searching for all images and requesting deletion individually.

Update: please see later post, problem has been resolved. Sorry for using MSG as a muscle, but it works :)

Are you sure.?... doesn't seem very logical or legal....

I am on Canstock and happy to have my images in Fotosearch.  That is where my best sales come from. 

Very surprising that your images can't be removed though.  Have you contacted Duncan?

I was assured by Fotosearch that there is a procedure in place for removal of portfolio from all sites once a month.

Unfortunately for some reason the end site (SPP) was not aware of this procedure.
