Acceptable Use Policy

Dramatize is built to help storytellers make great work, 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. To prevent deceptive deepfakes:

• You may not request synthetic visuals or voices that depict identifiable real people without verifiable consent. This includes celebrities, athletes, musicians, politicians, historical figures, and private individuals.
• You may notbrief stylistic doubles intended to deceive viewers into thinking a real person is in the video (e.g., “a man who looks exactly like Drake”).
• You maybrief a generic synthetic person — an “AI presenter,” an “AI customer testimonial” — as long as the result doesn’t resemble a specific identifiable individual.
• For your own appearance: you can request to be in your own deliverables if you verify identity with the producer team.

2. Intellectual property

• You may not include third-party logos, products, branded packaging, fictional characters owned by other companies, or copyrighted music/footage in your briefs.
• You may upload your own brand assets and use them in your deliverables.
• 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 Emmy or Oscar’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

• Emmy and Oscar are instructed to decline briefs that violate this policy and offer the closest legitimate alternative.
• 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.
