A:
It's frustrating to feel that your privacy has been violated, especially when you didn’t consent to photos being taken or manipulated. The situation you described involves both privacy and potential data protection concerns, particularly if the company or employee used your images without your permission.
To address this, you may consider formally requesting the deletion of all data, including any backups or filtered versions, under relevant privacy laws. It might also help to put this request in writing, making it clear that you did not consent to these actions and that you expect confirmation of complete data removal.
If the company is not cooperating, you might look into filing a complaint with a relevant authority, such as a data protection agency or a consumer rights organization. You could also consider consulting with a legal professional who can provide specific advice on privacy violations and your rights to data protection in your state or jurisdiction.
