Every score on this site carries one consent rule: undress tools may be used only on your own photos or on photos of consenting adults aged 18 or older. Clothoff AI is a review catalog. It does not operate a generator, accept uploads, process images, or store images; every test runs on the reviewed provider's own service with editorial control photos. Publishing an intimate image of a real person without consent is a federal crime under the TAKE IT DOWN Act (Pub. L. 119-12, 2025); at least 4 state statutes cited below explicitly cover digitally created or altered images. A reviewed tool must publish a consent rule, a working removal route, and a retention limit; the results feed the privacy criterion, which carries 30 of 100 points in how we rate . Tools that market impersonation of identifiable people, ignore removal requests, or lack an age gate are refused a review and listed in the transparency report . Anyone depicted in a non-consensual image can use the NCII report form (48-hour response target) and the external hash-matching services listed in section 5. All synthetic sample images on this site are labeled under the AI Content Policy , which follows the transparency duties of EU AI Act Article 50. ## What does «1. The consent rule behind every rating» govern? Each ranking, review, and comparison on this site is published with the same short notice: the reviewed tools may be used only on your own photos or on photos of consenting adults aged 18 or older. The notice is not decoration. It defines the only use case we evaluate, and it is the reason our test protocol uses editorial control photos of adult team members and synthetic base ## What does «2.
