[Platform / Company Name] ("Platform," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to providing safe, lawful, and responsible AI-generated content services. This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") applies to all content generated, published, distributed, or stored through the Platform, and sets out our content standards, moderation, reporting procedures, and enforcement actions. All users, developers, and merchants using the Platform must comply with this Policy.

  1. Scope

This Policy applies to all content types, including:

  • Text: AI-generated text, dialogue, code, articles, etc.

  1. Content Standards & Prohibited Categories

The Platform prohibits generating the following six categories of content:

  • Hate speech.
  • Child-unsafe content (CSAM).

  • Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexual content involving minors.

  • Content that promotes or facilitates terrorism, extremism, or mass violence.

    2.2 Restricted — Subject to Review

  • Adult content: only permitted on age-verified, compliant platforms.

  • Violent content: must have a clear creative or educational context.

    2.4 Source of Uploaded Material [keep if the Platform accepts uploads of real people's photos or voices] You may only upload your own photos or voice, or material for which you have explicit permission from the people depicted. Uploading another person's photos or voice without their consent is prohibited. Before uploading, you must confirm that the material is your own or that you have permission. Permission does not authorize generating the deepfake content prohibited under Section 2.1.

  1. Content Moderation

We operate a multi-layer moderation system: automated review, human review, and periodic audits.

3.1 Automated Review (real-time) All requests and generated content are scanned in real time by safety filters.

  • Input filtering: keyword, semantic, and intent detection on prompts.

  • Output filtering: real-time safety assessment of generated content.

  • Usage pattern analysis: monitoring for anomalous API usage.

  • Safety model used: [e.g., OpenAI Moderation API, or a proprietary model].

    3.2 Human Review

  • Auto-flagged content enters a human review queue.

  • User-reported content is reviewed manually by the trust & safety team.

  • Review team: [e.g., 24/7 on-call moderation team].

  • Reviewers complete content-safety training and sign NDAs.

    3.3 Periodic Audits

  • Random content sampling performed [specify frequency].

  • Regular evaluation and improvement of classifier accuracy.

  • [Whether independent third-party audits are conducted, if applicable.]

    3.4 Content Severity Levels
