The AEPD provides a Priority Channel to request the urgent removal of sexual and violent content disseminated on the Internet without the consent of the persons concerned (Spanish nationals or residents in Spain) and other AEPD resources and tools to help raise awareness of the value of privacy and the importance of the processing of personal data.
