Legal/Acceptable Use Policy

Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: [DATE]

In short: StudioSet makes realistic images of people, so we ask everyone to use it with care. Only make personas of yourself, of someone who agreed, or of someone invented. No sexual content, nothing involving minors, no impersonation, no harassment, no fake brand endorsements, no election deepfakes, nothing illegal, and no abuse of the Service. If you break these rules, we may remove content and close your account.

Draft — to be reviewed by a lawyer before launch.

Who this policy applies to

This policy applies to everyone who uses StudioSet (the "Service"), run by StudioSet. It is part of our Terms of Service. It covers everything you upload, type, make, download, export or share using the Service.

1. Consent and real people

  • You must be 18 or older to use the Service.
  • A persona must be of you, of a real person who gave you clear permission, or invented.
  • StudioSet is not a deepfake tool. Do not use it to make realistic images of a real person without their permission, whatever the purpose.
  • Do not make a persona of a public figure, celebrity, influencer or politician.
  • Do not make a persona of anyone under 18, and do not make images that show, or appear to show, a minor.
  • Do not upload photos of other people without their permission, except where they only appear as clothing or scene reference and you are allowed to use the photo.
  • If someone withdraws their permission, stop using their persona and delete it.
  • Do not try to recreate a real person's likeness by describing them in a prompt when you do not have their permission.

2. Sexual content and nudity

  • No nudity, sexual content, or sexually suggestive images of anyone.
  • No intimate or sexual images of real people, ever. Making or sharing them without consent can be a crime.
  • No content that sexualizes minors in any way. We report child sexual abuse material to the authorities, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) where required.
  • Do not try to get around the safety filters of our AI providers, for example with coded words, step-by-step edits or misleading prompts. We never try to bypass them either.

3. Impersonation and deception

  • Do not pretend to be someone else, or make it look like a real person did, said or endorsed something they did not.
  • Do not use outputs to trick people, for example in scams, fake reviews, fake testimonials, catfishing or fake dating profiles.
  • Do not present AI images as real photos of real events, or as evidence.
  • When you publish realistic images of people, label them as AI-generated. See our AI content & sharing policy.

4. Elections and public life

  • No deepfakes of politicians, candidates, election officials or other public figures.
  • No content meant to mislead people about elections, voting, or public events.
  • No fake news, fake documents or fake official images.

5. Harassment, hate and harm

  • No bullying, harassment, threats, or content meant to humiliate someone.
  • No hate content that attacks people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age or similar characteristics.
  • No content that promotes violence, self-harm or terrorism.
  • No content that shares someone's private information without permission.

6. Brands, products and advertising

  • Do not use brand names, logos or products to suggest that a brand sponsors, endorses or works with you when it does not.
  • Only add products to photos if they are your own products or you are allowed to show them.
  • If you use outputs to advertise a product, make sure the images show the product honestly. Do not make a product look like something it is not.
  • Follow advertising rules where you live, including disclosing paid partnerships and not making false claims.

7. Other people's work

  • Only use inspiration, outfit and product photos that you are allowed to use, and only to make your own new photo.
  • Do not pass off someone else's photos, or close copies of them, as your own work.
  • Do not use the Service to infringe copyrights, trademarks or other rights.
  • Do not redistribute our template photos or descriptions outside the Service.

8. Illegal content and activities

  • Do not use the Service for anything illegal where you live or where the content is used.
  • No content that helps commit fraud, identity theft or other crimes.
  • No fake IDs, fake documents or anything meant to beat identity checks (for example, "selfie" verification).

9. Protecting the Service

  • Do not scrape, crawl or copy the Service or its content with automated tools.
  • Do not access the Service through bots, scripts or unofficial apps, or try to get around usage limits, credit charges or plan limits.
  • Do not create multiple accounts to get extra free credits or avoid a ban.
  • Do not hack, overload, probe or disrupt the Service, or try to reach data that is not yours.
  • Do not reverse-engineer the Service, or use it to build a competing product or to train AI models.
  • Do not resell access to the Service without our written permission.

Safety checks

We check for problems before anything is made, not only after:

  • Every photo of a person is requested as a tasteful, everyday photo of a clothed person.
  • When we read a photo you want to recreate, we flag outfits, poses or framing that may come out too revealing and suggest changes, such as a different outfit, pose or scene.
  • The AI models we use also run several safety checks of their own, on what is sent to them and on what they make, and refuse content that breaks their rules.

These checks help, but they do not replace these rules, and you are still responsible for what you make. Never try to get around them. More in section 8 of our Terms of Service.

What happens if you break these rules

Depending on how serious it is, we may:

  • block a request or refuse to make an output;
  • remove content;
  • warn you;
  • limit features, or suspend or close your account (unused credits may be lost as explained in our Terms of Service);
  • report illegal content to the police or other authorities when the law requires it or when someone is at risk.

We use automated checks and human review to find misuse. We try to be fair and, when reasonable, we will tell you what happened and let you respond. If you think we made a mistake, write to support@studioset.app.

Reporting misuse

If you see content made with the Service that breaks these rules, or that uses your likeness without permission, please tell us. Our Report content / takedown page explains how.

Changes

We may update this policy as the Service and the law change. We will post the new date at the top, and tell you about important changes as described in our Terms of Service.
