Whose photographs these are
Besot indexes listings that already exist on resale marketplaces. Where a listing carries a photograph, that photograph was taken by the seller, and it belongs to them. We show it so a piece is recognizable and link straight back to the listing it came from.
If you took a photograph we are showing and you would rather we did not, that is reason enough. You do not have to explain it and you do not have to prove anything.
How to ask
Email [email protected] with the photograph, or a link to the page on Besot where you found it. Either one is enough for us to find it.
You do not need to send proof of ownership, a legal notice, or a form. We are not going to ask you to establish standing before we take a picture down.
What happens next
We remove it the same day we receive your email, and reply to confirm when it is done. If the request arrives outside working hours it goes out first thing; nothing waits longer than one business day.
We do not weigh the request, negotiate it, or ask you to reconsider. It comes down.
It stays down
We block the photograph itself, not the web address it happened to be at. The same picture is often re-uploaded under a new listing, and a block that only remembered the old address would let it back the next morning while this page told you it was gone.
So the block is checked when a photograph arrives, before it is ever stored or shown. Once a picture is on that list it does not come back, whatever listing it turns up in next.
What we keep
We keep a record of the request itself: what was asked for, when it arrived, what was removed, and who removed it. That is how we can tell you the block is still holding months later.
We do not keep the photograph.
Anything else
If a listing of yours is on Besot and you want it off entirely, not just the photograph, [email protected] is the right address for that too.
