Acceptable Use Policy

InfluencerForge.app is a studio for creating fully synthetic AI influencer content. Every persona published from the platform must depict a synthetic, non-real person who is 18 years of age or older. The single exception is reference material you upload of a real adult whose documented consent you hold — sections 2 and 5 govern that case, and they are narrower than this one.

Use of the platform is permitted only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these guidelines. By using the platform you confirm that you have read and accepted these guidelines.

The following content is strictly prohibited on InfluencerForge.app. Violations will result in immediate account suspension and may carry criminal consequences.

This list is not exhaustive. We reserve editorial discretion to remove content or restrict accounts for material that is unlawful, harmful, or otherwise inconsistent with the spirit of these guidelines, even if not explicitly enumerated above.

When you upload reference images for model training, you are responsible for the lawfulness of those images. The following requirements apply:

• You must hold all necessary usage rights to the uploaded images or have the appropriate licenses.
• If the images depict real persons, you must hold their explicit, documented consent to use those images for AI training, and should retain evidence of that consent (e.g. a model release) and be able to produce it on request.
• Images of minors may not be uploaded under any circumstances — including for non-sexual purposes.
• By uploading, you declare to us that all of the above conditions are met. This declaration forms part of the agreement upon initiating training, and is backed by the indemnification obligation in our Terms of Service.

The EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), Art. 50, imposes transparency obligations on AI-generated content. These obligations become binding from 2 August 2026, and we are aligning our practices accordingly:

• Provider marking (Art. 50(2)): every image you download from the platform carries a machine-readable marker identifying it as AI-generated — an XMP packet with the IPTC digitalSourceType value trainedAlgorithmicMedia, embedded in the file itself. This is added regardless of your export settings. Video downloads are currently passed through unmodified and we do not add a marker to them; note that metadata of any kind can be stripped by screenshots and by re-encoding upload pipelines, so it complements rather than replaces visible disclosure.
• You must not remove, alter, or obscure any AI-generated marking on outputs from the platform, and must not misrepresent AI-generated output as solely human-created where that would be misleading or unlawful.
• Deployer disclosure (Art. 50(4)): if you publish an image or video from this platform that could pass for an authentic photograph or recording, you must disclose that it is artificially generated — clearly, and at the latest when someone first sees it. This is not limited to depictions of real people. The AI Act defines a "deep fake" as content resembling persons, objects, places, entities or events that could falsely appear authentic, and guidance from the European Commission treats a photorealistic synthetic person as covered even where no real person is depicted. Assume your persona content is in scope.In practice, set the AI-content label the platform provides on every post, and do not rely on automatic detection. Images you download carry the IPTC trainedAlgorithmicMedia marker, which Meta reads to apply its AI info label on Instagram, Facebook and Threads — treat that as a safety net rather than as your disclosure, since upload pipelines, screenshots and third-party schedulers can strip it. TikTok and YouTube do not read this marker at all. Commission guidance is explicit that a deployer cannot discharge this duty by relying on the machine-readable marking we embed under Art. 50(2).A narrow exception exists for evidently artistic, creative, satirical, fictional, or analogous works, where a minimal, non-intrusive disclosure of the existence of generated content is enough — a persona presented as a real creator does not qualify. Content generated before 2 August 2026 does not need to be labelled retroactively. Depicting a real, identifiable person additionally requires consent from that person.

In accordance with Art. 16 of the EU Digital Services Act (DSA), anyone — not only registered users — may notify us of content on the platform they consider illegal, using the in-app report form below or by emailing influencerforge@proton.me.

To help us act quickly, a notice should include:

• A sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content is considered illegal;
• The exact electronic location (URL) or clear identification of the content;
• Your name and email address (anonymous reports are accepted where feasible, but limit our ability to follow up);
• A statement confirming your good-faith belief that the information and claims are accurate and complete.

Where contact details are supplied, we acknowledge receipt, and we review notices in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, and objective manner. Where we restrict or remove content, or suspend or terminate an account as a result, we provide a statement of reasons under Art. 17 DSA, including whether the decision was made using automated means and how to appeal it.

For users in the United States, we respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512). Notices should be sent to our designated agent at influencerforge@proton.me and should include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or their authorized agent;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail to locate it;
• Your contact information (address, phone number, email);
• A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

We remove or disable access to infringing material promptly upon receiving a valid notice. The affected user may submit a counter-notice; absent the copyright owner filing suit, we will generally restore the material within 10–14 business days after receiving a valid counter-notice. We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of repeat infringers.

We provide a dedicated, expedited process for removing non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII), including in line with the U.S. TAKE IT DOWN Act. Upon receiving a valid request, we remove the identified content, and make reasonable efforts to remove known identical copies, within 48 hours.

A valid request should include:

• A signature (physical or electronic) of the identified individual or their authorized representative;
• Identification of the intimate image and where it is located on the platform;
• A brief statement that the individual did not consent to the publication of the image;
• Contact information sufficient for us to follow up.

Send NCII takedown requests to influencerforge@proton.me or use the in-app report form above with the "Real person without consent" category.

We reserve the right to take the following measures in the event of violations of these guidelines, without prior notice:

We take all reports seriously and address them as quickly as possible. Content indicating serious violations is handled with the highest priority.
