Content & Moderation Policy

Design N Studio (“designn,” “we,” “us”) operates a self-serve application that generates images, video, music, voice, and ad copy from inputs you supply. This policy sets out what may not be generated or published on designn, and — just as importantly — how we actually enforce that. It sits alongside our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy; where the Terms state the rule, this document describes the mechanism.

Every generation on designn is produced by software at the request of the account holder. No employee or contractor of Design N Studio creates, edits, or approves customer output as part of normal operation. Moderation is therefore about what the service permits and what we remove — not about work we perform on a customer’s behalf.

The following are prohibited on designn, without exception:

• Non-consensual likeness. Deepfakes, face swaps, or any depiction of a real, identifiable person’s face, voice, or likeness without that person’s explicit consent — including public figures.
• Sexual content. Pornographic or sexually explicit material, and any sexualized depiction of a minor or of a person styled to appear as a minor. The latter is reported to the relevant authorities.
• Deception. Content designed to pass as a genuine photograph, recording, endorsement, review, or news event, or to mislead about who created it or who appears in it.
• Third-party intellectual property. Reproducing another company’s trademarks, logos, packaging, or copyrighted characters as if they were your own.
• Harm and harassment. Content that harasses, defames, or incites violence or hatred against a person or group, and content promoting self-harm, weapons manufacture, or illegal goods.
• Regulated claims. Advertising that makes medical, financial, or legal claims we would have no basis to substantiate, or that markets age-restricted products to minors.

These prohibitions apply to what you generate privately as well as to anything you publish to our public gallery. Uploading someone else’s photograph as an input does not transfer any right to it.

We would rather describe our controls accurately than overstate them. As of the date above, enforcement works as follows.

• Terms acceptance. Every account accepts these rules and our Terms of Service at sign-up. Generation requires a signed-in account, so all activity is attributable to an account holder.
• Upstream model safety systems. designn does not host its own image or video models. Every generation is executed by a licensed third-party AI provider, each of which applies its own safety filtering and refuses categories of prohibited requests independently of us. A request we did not catch can still be refused at that layer.
• Reporting on published content. Every post in our public gallery carries a report control, available to any signed-in visitor. A report asks for a reason, is recorded against the reporting account, and is rate-limited. Reports can also be sent by email, with no account required.
• Automatic withholding. A report citing non-consensual likeness, sexual content, or the sexualization of a minor withholds the post from the gallery at once, before anyone on our side has looked at it. For the remaining categories, a post is withheld once several separate accounts report it. This split is deliberate: the categories that carry real harm cannot wait for a quorum, and no single account should be able to unpublish another person’s work on its own say-so.
• Staff review and takedown. A withheld post goes to a review queue that shows the reasons given and who gave them. An administrator can restore the post or remove it permanently.
• Account action. We may suspend or terminate any account that violates this policy, as set out in our Terms of Service.

What we do not yet have. Automated NSFW and deepfake classification of generated output is on our roadmap and is not yet deployed. Today, our automated protection comes from the safety systems of the upstream model providers; our own review is triggered by reports rather than by classification of every generation. We would rather state this plainly than imply coverage we cannot demonstrate. This section will be updated when that changes.

If you find content on designn that breaks this policy — or content that uses your likeness or your intellectual property without permission — open the post and use Report this post, then choose the reason that fits. Reporting always removes the post from your own view of the gallery; whether it is withheld from everyone follows the rules above. If you do not have an account, email support@designn.studio with a link to the content and a short description of the problem. Reports concerning a person’s likeness or a rights-holder’s intellectual property are prioritized, and we aim to acknowledge them within one business day.

Depending on severity and history, we may remove the content, revoke access to a generated file, suspend the account, or terminate it. Serious cases — in particular any material sexualizing a minor — are removed immediately and reported to the appropriate authorities. Where an account is terminated for a policy violation, unused credits are handled under our Refund Policy.

You will be told. Whenever we withhold, remove, or restore one of your posts, we send a notice to your account. It says what happened, but never who reported the post or which reason they gave — that information would only serve retaliation. If you believe we acted in error, write to support@designn.studio and we will review the decision.

Because generations run on third-party AI providers, your use is also subject to those providers’ acceptable-use policies. A generation permitted by this policy may still be refused upstream, and a violation of an upstream policy is also a violation of ours.

We will update this policy as the service and our controls change — in particular when automated classification ships. Material changes will be reflected in the “last updated” date above. Questions go to support@designn.studio.
