On May 5, 2022, I was informed by a friend that American Greek company was using one of my personal photos as advertisement for his business. The picture is very clearly me and I am recognizable. His product that I am wearing does not have any logo or name that states on it that it is his product, and it is not even in the picture all the way. He screenshotted it from my sorority chapter ******** that posted it on their account with my permission. At 1 pm I called him to ask him to remove the photo since he did not have permission from me or my chapter to use the photo. He claimed that he was allowed to use it for advertisement since my chapters account is public. This is clearly a lie and is an invasion of my privacy in addition to him profiting off of my picture without my permission or paying me for it. He then told me he would only take my photos down if I deleted my honest review I gave him, which reflected my poor experience with him. I called him an additional time at 1:45pm to ask him to take it down again and he hung up on me and blocked my number from calling his business.
