Submitting material without permission or another lawful basis.
ACCEPTABLE USE · UPDATED 22 SEPTEMBER 2026
Use DeepfakePolicy responsibly.
Check material you have the right to use. A report can help you investigate, but it is not proof against someone or a certificate of authenticity.
Before you upload
Make sure you can share the file.
You can check contracts, invoices, financial records and confidential business documents in supported workflows. You must be allowed to share and process them. Use a company workspace or the API, and include only what the check needs.
Sensitive information may need extra permissions and safeguards. Before uploading, check the applicable law, confidentiality duties and the requirements of the selected service and its providers. Upload only after the required safeguards and agreements are in place.

Presenting a report, screenshot, logo or report identifier as certification, legal proof or a guarantee of authenticity.
