Acceptable use

  • • Stripping EXIF, GPS, and camera metadata from your own images before sharing them publicly.
  • • Cleaning AI-generated images you personally produced when the destination platform does not require provenance metadata.
  • • Educational research into image watermarking, C2PA, and content provenance standards.
  • • Preparing screenshots and mockups where embedded metadata would leak private information.

Prohibited use

  • • Passing AI-generated content off as human-created work in violation of platform rules or applicable law.
  • • Removing watermarks from images you do not own the rights to.
  • • Bypassing legally required AI-disclosure or content-provenance rules (e.g. EU AI Act transparency obligations).
  • • Any use that facilitates fraud, defamation, or deceptive commercial practice.
