Is licensing your likeness safe?

The fears are valid

If you're nervous about licensing your face to AI, good — that instinct is healthy. There are real cautionary tales: people who signed away footage for a flat fee and later found their likeness in ads they never approved, with no royalties and no way to pull it back. Some couldn't even get answers about where their face was being used.

Those stories aren't a reason to avoid likeness licensing. They're a reason to only do it on terms that protect you.

What makes it safe: consent-first

Safe likeness licensing comes down to one idea — consent enforced on every use, not just at signup. With cloneaible, you explicitly opt in to specific categories (UGC, e-commerce, photo, and so on). Anything you don't opt into is blocked by default. Permission is checked on every single generation, not waved through once.

You control who you appear with

It's not just what your likeness is used for — it's who you're associated with. You have a say in the brands and contexts your likeness appears in, so your face never ends up next to something that doesn't reflect you.

You can revoke anytime

Changed your mind? You can adjust your categories or opt out completely, whenever you want. Revocation takes effect going forward, immediately. Your likeness stays yours.

Questions to ask any platform before you sign

• Do I opt in per use category — or sign one blanket release?
• Can I see and control which brands use my likeness?
• Can I revoke or opt out at any time?
• Do I get paid per use, or just once?
• Is consent checked on every generation?

cloneaible is built so the answer to each is the one that protects you. See how the whole model works.
