24. Search Engine Copies

Removing content from FreeWishes does not necessarily remove copies from:

Where appropriate, users may need to contact the relevant third-party service separately.

25. Third-Party Platforms

FreeWishes may not be able to remove material that has already been:

• Shared on social media
• Forwarded through messaging apps
• Copied to another website
• Republished by third parties

We control only content within systems we operate.

26. Advertising Complaints

If your concern relates to an advertisement displayed through Google AdSense or another advertising platform, the advertisement may be controlled by the advertising provider rather than FreeWishes.

You may:

• Use the advertiser/platform reporting tools
• Contact FreeWishes where appropriate

FreeWishes may review whether additional action is reasonably available.

27. No Guarantee of Immediate Action

We aim to handle legitimate requests responsibly.

However, review time may depend on:

Urgent risks involving safety, privacy or clear legal harm may be prioritised where appropriate.

• Decisions

where reasonably necessary for:

• Legal compliance
• Security

• Fraud prevention
• Record keeping

Retention is subject to our Privacy Policy.

29. No Admission of Liability

Removal, correction or restriction of content does not necessarily mean FreeWishes admits:

• Infringement
• Wrongdoing
• Legal liability

Content may be removed voluntarily to resolve concerns efficiently.

30. Repeated Infringement

Where appropriate, FreeWishes may restrict or terminate accounts or contributors who repeatedly submit infringing or unlawful content.

31. Appeals or Reconsideration

If you believe a decision was made in error, you may contact: [email protected]

and provide additional supporting information.

We may reconsider the matter where appropriate.

32. Emergency or Safety Concerns

If content creates an immediate and serious safety risk, please clearly indicate the urgency in your report.

For emergencies requiring immediate assistance, contact the appropriate local emergency or law-enforcement authority rather than relying solely on FreeWishes.
