FAQ

Tumblr opt-out FAQ

Can I get something removed from Tumblr if I don’t have an account?

Yes. Tumblr accepts privacy, impersonation, and harassment reports through its help center, including from people without an account.

Will Tumblr remove a post just because I don’t like it?

Usually not. Tumblr removes content that breaks its rules, such as harassment, impersonation, private information, or non-consensual intimate images. Cite the specific rule in your report.

What if Tumblr rejects my report?

You can appeal, use a more specific privacy or legal form, or ask the person who posted it to delete it. Search engine removal or suppression can reduce visibility if it stays up.
