TLL can publish it with my name, never sells it, never passes it on, never feeds it to an AI.If a person is the clear subject, they are fine with it being published.Crowd and street scenes where nobody is the focus are fine. If a child is the subject and not yours, please do not send it.

A human looks at every photo before it goes up. Changed your mind later? Write to hello@thatlayover.life and we take it down.

Got them. A human looks at every photo before it goes up, so give us a little time. Changed your mind? Write to hello@thatlayover.life and we take it down, before or after it is published.

That did not go through. Try once more. If it still refuses, write to hello@thatlayover.life with the photos attached and we will sort it by hand.
