Before you generate
Confirm identity permissions and document the intended use. If a request lacks context, pause and ask for clarity.
Set restrictions around face visibility, distribution, and watermarking before any assets are processed.
- •Collect consent and identity confirmation.
- •Define distribution scope and channels.
- •Agree on watermark requirements.
During review
Use two reviewers for high-impact projects. Ensure facial features, body alignment, and lighting are consistent.
If a result could be misread as real, add a disclosure label or watermark.
- •Run a second reviewer for realism checks.
- •Document any edits made post-generation.
- •Flag and correct anomalies before export.
After delivery
Share assets through controlled links and provide a point of contact for takedown requests.
Monitor for misuse if the content is public-facing, and keep an audit record.
