Title: Deleting premium market images from Eyeem?
Post by: Chicago913 on May 18, 2018, 11:47
I am closing down my Eyeem account because I feel it is to easy to steal images from their website, no watermarks on large previews and you can right click and download a 300 dpi 2x3inch image (why would anyone buy a license for web, etc. use when they can just steal it!)

I contacted them over a week ago to have my premium images removed and was told it would take a couple of days but they're still on the site. I have politely followed up to ask why they have not taken down my images a week later and they are not responding to my email.

What other recourse do I have to get them to remove my images? The only option on their website is to email their customer support.

I'm not with Eyem, but I understood that premium images are sent over to Getty. If it is so, it can take up to few months for pictures to be removed.

I had to remove one of my premium images last year, it took them a couple of weeks but they did do it. You have to email them as there is no way to do it via the website.

Thank you both for the info. As of today Eyeem just deleted my account without any response to my follow up email and 16 of my images have been removed from Getty so far, still have more than a few dozen to be removed but at least it is in the works.
