Help Center

When flagging an image as abuse, keep in mind that orkut is a community for adults from around the world. Since everyone has varied opinions on what constitutes a pornographic image, please report only those images that violate the following guidelines.

Images displayed on orkut.com shouldn't contain nudity, profanity, or sexually graphic material. This currently includes, but is not limited to, frontal nudity for men or women, as well as depictions of sex acts. Certain cartoons, medical or scientific pictures, or works of art may be exempt. Don't upload images of cartoons or artwork unless you have the rights to distribute such material. Likewise, don't upload images of celebrities to which you don't hold the rights.

We will remove all images that violate real-world laws of the United States, such as child pornography.

Profiles or communities containing such images will be permanently removed without warning or prior notification. We will also remove any images someone copies from an orkut.com photo album or another photo site if the images aren't within the public domain or the person doesn't have the rights to use these images.

To report an image violating our policies, please click report abuse below the photo, on the profile page, or on the community page. We take all reports into account when enforcing our image policies. If you've reported an image and continue to see it on orkut after a few business days, it's likely that it did not meet our conditions for removal.

If somebody is using a picture that you uploaded, we suggest that you contact the individual who posted them. Unless the image violates our policies, we're not able to remove photos if you don't own the copyright to them.

Notes:

• To report content that is using an image to which you own the copyright, please see our Copyrighted Material Policy.
• Since our videos and feeds contain content imported from other sites, you'll need to report violations to the original source of the feed or video.
• If someone is using your name and photo to impersonate you, you can file an impersonation form.
• Be cautious! Don't post pictures on the site that you're not comfortable having others see or copy. You may also want to use our album privacy feature to restrict who's allowed to see your album. You'll just need to click the settings button below your profile picture, select the privacy tab, and use the drop-down menu next to album to choose who is allowed to see your album. Please note that this same privacy feature is also available for videos and testimonials.
