10. Someone displayed my personal picture/information in the Internet.

First and foremost, you are advised to communicate directly with the website owner or operator to remove the intended personal picture.
 
If the affected owner or operator does not heed or refuse to cooperate, you can lodge reports to the site administrator directly by (Flickr, Blogspot, Facebook, Tagged, Wordpress and others) using “report abuse” button as provided by the site administrator.
 
It is best that you attach emails or communication with the site owner or operator who refuses to cooperate for reference by the administrator. Hence, each interaction or communication with the affected owner or operator must be saved as evidence.
