Our Ethical AI Pledge

1) Authenticity First

• •Enhance, not fabricate. We improve lighting, color, clarity, and composition.
• •Identity preservation. We do not intentionally alter core facial structure, natural skin tone, or apparent age.
• •No deepfakes. No synthetic personas to impersonate real people.

For rare safety, fraud, or legal reasons we may block or degrade outputs that violate these rules.

2) Privacy by Design

• •Default deletion. Uploaded and generated images are deleted by default within ~24 hours unless you opt to retain, we must preserve for fraud/abuse, or law requires longer.
• •No training on your photos without opt-in. Aggregated telemetry and quality metrics may be used to improve systems without identifying you.
• •Data minimization. We collect only what is needed to run the service, fight abuse, and take payment.

Details live in our Privacy Policy.

3) User Control and Ownership

• •You own your photos and enhanced outputs.
• •Limited license to operate. You grant us a temporary, narrow license to process your files to deliver the service and support. It ends when files are deleted.
• •Export and deletion. Request account data or deletion where applicable by emailing help@photome.online.

4) Fairness and Bias Mitigation

• •Routine prompt and template audits across diverse skin tones and features.
• •User feedback loop and red-team tests to catch failures.
• •Inclusive design reviews before template release.

5) Safety and Misuse Prevention

• •Blocklists for illegal, hateful, sexual, or child-related content.
• •Quotas, rate limits, and anomaly detection to prevent abuse and identity misuse.
• •Cooperation with lawful requests where mandated.

6) Responsible Innovation

• •Rollout with staged testing and kill-switches.
• •Clear change logs for material policy updates.
• •Independent reviews where practical.

7) Reporting

Report issues, bias, or safety concerns: help@photome.online.

This pledge is principles-based and may evolve. The Privacy Policy and Terms of Service govern in case of conflict.

8) Template Design Principles

• •Identity-preserving rules baked in: No changes to facial bone structure, eye spacing/shape, nose width/shape, lip shape, jawline, or natural skin tone. No age regression or gender alteration.
• •Quantitative specs: Each template defines composition, pose range, lighting direction/intensity/CCT, background depth, and color grade tolerances.
• •Guardrails and blocks: Nudity, minors, impersonation, hateful or illegal content are blocked.
• •Pre-release audits: Templates are reviewed across diverse skin tones and features; failures are fixed or templates are pulled.
• •Change control: Templates can be updated or retired quickly if users report issues.
