Acceptable Use Policy

Summary

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) is part of the Terms of Use. It sets the line between lawful use of the third-party tools we review and conduct that harms real people. In short:

• Use any reviewed tool only with photos of yourself or of adults (18+) who have given explicit consent.
• Never create, request, or share intimate images of a real person without consent — a federal crime under the TAKE IT DOWN Act since May 19, 2025.
• Never create or seek sexual depictions of anyone under 18, real or synthetic.
• No impersonation, harassment, extortion, or doxxing using generated images.
• Do not circumvent age or geographic restrictions of this site or of a provider.
• This website hosts no images; enforcement means warnings, delisting of tools, and referrals to law enforcement.
• Report abuse via Report; victims of non-consensual imagery should use Report NCII.

1. Scope of this policy

The AUP applies to every reader of this website and to any use of information found on the site, including editor scores, test notes, provider comparisons, and legal explainers. It also describes the consent standard we apply when deciding whether a tool may remain in the catalog.

The site itself is an editorial publisher. It does not offer image generation, has no upload form, and stores no user images. Consequently, this policy does not regulate an “account” or “service” on our side; it regulates how information from the site is used and how we respond when a reviewed provider or a reader crosses the line described below. The consent principles behind this policy are set out in Responsible AI.

2. Prohibited uses

You must not use the site, or any tool, technique, or provider described on it, to do any of the following:

1. Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII). Creating, requesting, possessing with intent to share, or publishing a nude or sexually explicit depiction of an identifiable real person without that person’s consent — including a “digital forgery” produced or altered by AI. Consent to be photographed is not consent to an altered image.
2. Minors. Creating, requesting, or sharing any sexual depiction of a person under 18, whether real, altered, or fully synthetic. There is no consent defense, no “fictional” defense, and no artistic-style defense. Suspected material is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline.
3. Impersonation and harassment. Using generated images to impersonate a real person, to harass, stalk, threaten, or intimidate anyone, or to interfere with a person’s employment, education, or relationships.
4. Extortion and threats. Threatening to create or publish an intimate image — real or synthetic — to obtain money, sexual acts, silence, or any other benefit (“sextortion”).
5. Doxxing. Pairing a generated image with a real person’s name, address, workplace, school, phone number, or social profile.
6. Circumventing safeguards. Bypassing the age screen of this site or a provider, using a VPN or false location to defeat a geographic block that applies to you, or defeating a provider’s consent, watermark, or content filters.
7. Interfering with the site. Automated bulk downloading beyond robots.txt, probing non-public areas, injecting code, or submitting knowingly false reports through our forms.
8. Unlawful use in your jurisdiction. Any use of a reviewed tool that is illegal where you live, even if it is not listed above.

3. The law behind the policy: TAKE IT DOWN Act and state statutes

Federal law now treats non-consensual intimate imagery as a crime even when the image is AI-generated. The TAKE IT DOWN Act (Public Law 119-12, approved May 19, 2025) added a new offense to 47 U.S.C. § 223: knowingly publishing an intimate visual depiction of an identifiable adult without consent carries up to 2 years of imprisonment; if the victim is a minor, up to 3 years. Threats to publish such images for intimidation, coercion, or extortion carry up to 18 months (adults) or 30 months (minors). The Act defines a “digital forgery” as an AI- or software-created intimate depiction that a reasonable person could not distinguish from an authentic one. Source: TAKE IT DOWN Act, S.146, text as enacted.

Section 3 of the Act obliges “covered platforms” that host user-generated content to run a notice-and-removal process and to remove reported depictions within 48 hours; those duties took effect on May 19, 2026, and are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC business guidance). this website is not a covered platform because it hosts no user content, but every provider we review that lets users upload photos may be one — and we record on each review page whether the provider publishes a removal route.

Most states add their own civil or criminal statutes on deepfake pornography and NCII, and 27 states have passed age-verification laws for adult content; those are summarized in Age Verification by State. Child sexual abuse material, including synthetic material, is covered by 18 U.S.C. chapter 110 (§§ 2251–2260A) and by every state. Nothing on this page is legal advice.

4. What consent means here

Consent under this policy means a freely given, specific, informed statement by an adult (18+) that a particular image of them may be altered with the tool in question and, if applicable, shared with a stated audience. Consent can be withdrawn at any time; after withdrawal the image must not be shared further. A person’s public profile, a past relationship, or a previously shared photo is never consent to an altered image.

Our own tests follow the same standard: the editorial team uses only its own control photos and AI-generated virtual models — never images of readers, celebrities, or private individuals. Every rating on the site carries a consent note that links to Responsible AI.

5. How violations are handled

Because This website hosts no images and has no user accounts, enforcement works differently from a platform:

• Reader conduct. We cannot remove an image that was created elsewhere. If a report identifies unlawful content on a provider’s site, we forward the report to the provider’s published abuse contact, point the victim to the provider’s removal route, and — where a crime is indicated — to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or local police. Abusive use of our forms results in a block of the originating network.
• Provider conduct. A reviewed tool must publish a consent rule, an age requirement, and an image-removal contact; must not market itself for use on non-consenting people; and must respond to a verified NCII report. A provider that fails these checks receives a visible warning on its review page within 7 days and is delisted if the failure is not fixed within 30 days or is severe (for example, no removal route at all or minors-related content). The criteria and their weight in the privacy score (30 of 100 points; the other criteria are quality 25, price 20, speed 15, support 10) are described in How we rate.
• Affiliate relationships. Delisting applies equally to providers with and without an affiliate link; the Affiliate disclosure lists current relationships so readers can check this claim.
• Law enforcement. Valid legal requests are handled under Law Enforcement Requests. We keep very little data (see Privacy Policy), so in most cases the relevant records sit with the provider.

Delisting decisions and the number of NCII reports handled are published in the Transparency report.

6. Reporting routes

Choose the route that matches the problem:

If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services first. Victims of sextortion can also use the NCMEC “Take It Down” service, which works with hashes rather than the image itself. Read AI content policy for how synthetic images on this site are labeled.

7. Changes and contact

We update this AUP when the law changes or when enforcement practice shows a gap; the “Updated” date above is the effective date. Material changes are logged in the Transparency report. Questions: legal@clothoff.ai. Abuse reports: abuse@clothoff.ai. Non-consensual imagery: ncii@clothoff.ai.
