Acceptable Use Policy
Effective May 19, 2026.
Dramatize is built to help everyone make great video, not to be a loophole for generating things that hurt people. This policy describes content and behavior that aren’t allowed on the platform. By using Dramatize you agree to follow these rules. If you break them, we may suspend or terminate your account.
1. Real people and likeness
Dramatize’s AI tools can generate human faces and voices, including likenesses of real people. You may brief these — with one firm condition and one hard line:
- You mayrequest a real person’s likeness or voice — a public figure, a model, yourself — only if you hold the rights, license, or that person’s consent to use it. You represent that you do (see our Terms). Obtaining and clearing that consent is your responsibility — Dramatize does not verify or confirm it, though we may decline any brief at our discretion. Your own appearance is welcome once you verify your identity with the producer team.
- You may notuse a likeness to deceive — to make viewers believe a real person said or did something they didn’t, to impersonate someone without their consent, or to pass synthetic footage off as authentic. Parody and persuasion are fine; deception is not.
- You mayalways brief a generic synthetic person — an “AI presenter,” an “AI customer testimonial” — that doesn’t depict a specific real individual; no rights needed.
2. Intellectual property
- You mayinclude another company’s brand — logos, products, packaging, characters — or copyrighted material that you have the rights or license to use. You represent that you hold those rights (see our Terms). Securing and clearing those rights is your responsibility — Dramatize does not verify or confirm them, though we may decline any brief at our discretion. Your own brand assets are always welcome.
- You may notask us to knowingly produce clear infringement — using a brand or character you have no rights to in order to mislead or trade on someone else’s IP.
- You represent that any content you upload (photos, voice samples, brand assets, reference imagery) you have the right to use, and you grant Dramatize the rights necessary to produce your video.
2. Prohibited content
Regardless of how the brief is framed, Dramatize won’t produce:
- Child sexual abuse material or content sexualizing minors in any way.
- Non-consensual sexual content, intimate imagery, or revenge content.
- Realistic violence against identifiable individuals or groups, especially groups defined by race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
- Content promoting self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
- Hate speech or content that dehumanizes any protected group.
- Disinformation campaigns: content designed to deceive viewers about elections, public health, scientific consensus, or material facts. (Persuasion is fine. Fabrication is not.)
- Content depicting illegal activity in a way that promotes it.
- Spam or scam content: phishing simulations, fraudulent investment pitches, fake testimonials for products you don’t actually offer.
3. Deceptive use
- You agree to disclose to your audience that AI was used to produce the video, where required by applicable law or platform policy (e.g., Meta’s AI-generated content labeling).
- You may not present AI-generated footage as authentic documentary footage of real events.
- You may not impersonate Dramatize or claim our team produced something we didn’t.
4. Technical conduct
- Don’t attempt to bypass our pricing, credit ledger, or access controls.
- Don’t attempt to extract your producer agent’s system prompts, reverse-engineer our tooling, or scrape our platform.
- Don’t use Dramatize to enumerate, test, or attack other services — automated abuse of any kind is grounds for immediate termination.
- Rate limits exist on the chat and rendering APIs; respect them.
5. What happens when something violates this policy
- Your producer agent is instructed to decline briefs that clearly violate this policy and offer the closest legitimate alternative — and to flag genuinely borderline briefs for a human producer to decide, rather than guess.
- Our human producer reviews every cut before delivery — a violating piece doesn’t ship, period.
- We may suspend your account if violations are repeated or egregious, and forfeit unused credits in serious cases.
- We may report illegal content (child sexual abuse material, credible threats) to appropriate authorities.
6. Reporting abuse
If you spot content on Dramatize that violates this policy, or if you believe someone is using our platform to harm you, please contact hello@dramatize.app with as much detail as you can share. We treat reports seriously and in confidence.
7. Updates
We’ll update this policy as the technology evolves and as we learn from real cases. Material changes will be announced in-app.
Note on legal review: this is a first-pass policy from our team, intended to give Dramatize a clear stance on the most common AI misuse vectors. We strongly recommend a lawyer review it before relying on it for enforcement in disputes.
