I opted out of Shutterstock Data Licensing. Three days later some of my images still automatically go into the Data Licensing catalogue.

Anyone is experiencing the same issue? If yes, were you able to resolve it?

Cheers!

I think this thread explains it - and other users have seen what you are seeing.

The logic, however self-serving, is that you're opting out of it being used currently, but they put it in the catalog (and I guess contributors have to trust them that it's disabled; there'd be no way to check that) so you could later change your mind and turn that option on.

Thank you, so it actually means that once the image is rejected there is no resubmission with corrections.

Has anyone received an official confirmation from Shitterstock that images cannot be deleted from Data Licensing? Below is the excerpt from ongoing correspondence I have with SS:

On the other hand, our Tech team is working on releasing the option to remove current images from data licensing. We appreciate your patience and understanding and trust me, we can feel your frustration regarding this matter.
