Kathryn Newton GettyImages

On the media gallery for Kathryn Newton (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1105980/) there are quite some photos with a very clear GettyImages watermark on it. I know I can submit a deletion request for them, but I feel it is more useful if a staffer would contact the person who added these photos to point them toward the guide for this kind of stuff. (https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/image-guidelines/G27LPBQZA7EAZGJW?ref_=help...#, where it says "We do not allow the following: Images displaying third-party ownership or branding, such as watermarks. Watermarks of the title's creators, such as the production company or TV channel, are acceptable")

Also, given the sheer number of photos that shouldn't have been accepted in the first place as well as the fact that this problem has occurred to several titles as well (see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/carla-renata-gettyimages/608f2693f5cc1541df887557 and  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/peter-pan-gettyimages/6070d846a9d33801cdb5edf0  and  https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/leave-it-to-beaver-gettyimages/604514a632c631317bb7a378 and   https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/the-jack-benny-program-gettyimages/5fb03b2f7fd3a810dc2dcd1b and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mark-allen-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/toast-of-the-town-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/help-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/laverne-shirley-gettyimages , and  https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/happy-days-gettyimages, and https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/mork-and-mindy-gettyimages ), I feel it's IMDb's duty to clean up this mess.

These are the photos:

Hi Marco -

 

Apologies for the delayed response.

 

I have now removed all the violating watermarked images you reported, they should be off the site shortly.  I have also reached out to the contributor to confirm our policy.

 

Cheers!
