Acceptable Use Policy — AI-Generated Content

Last Updated: August 20, 2026

Deckgist ("Platform," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to providing safe, lawful, and responsible AI-generated content services. This Acceptable Use Policy ("Policy") applies to all content generated, published, distributed, or stored through the Platform and sets out our content standards, moderation and reporting procedures, and enforcement actions. All users and developers using the Platform must comply with this Policy.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to all supported content types, including:

• Text: AI-generated text, presentation copy, dialogue, code, articles, outlines, and related written content.
• Images: AI-generated or edited images, illustrations, and visual assets.
• Presentations: generated slides, templates, layouts, exports, and shared presentation content.
• User Inputs: prompts, instructions, uploaded files, images, and supported audio or video reference materials submitted by users.

2. Content Standards and Prohibited Categories

The Platform prohibits generating, uploading, storing, publishing, or distributing the following categories of content:

• Pornographic, sexually explicit, or NSFW content.
• Graphic violence, gore, or content that glorifies violence.
• Hate speech or content that targets protected groups.
• Child-unsafe content, including child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
• Deceptive deepfakes or impersonation of real people, brands, or organizations.
• Content that infringes copyright, trademarks, or other rights.

2.1 Absolutely Prohibited — Zero Tolerance

The following content will be actioned immediately and may be reported to relevant authorities:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexual content involving minors.
• Content that promotes, supports, recruits for, or facilitates terrorism, violent extremism, or mass violence.
• Technical instructions intended to enable the creation or use of weapons of mass destruction.
• Content inciting genocide, ethnic hatred, or mass atrocities.
• Non-consensual deepfake sexual content targeting real individuals.
• Any other content whose creation, possession, or distribution is prohibited by applicable law.

2.2 Restricted — Subject to Review

• Adult content: adult or sexually explicit content may be permitted only on an expressly enabled, age-verified, and legally compliant service. Deckgist does not currently provide such a mode, so this content is prohibited on the Platform.
• Violent content: non-graphic content must have a legitimate creative, educational, historical, or newsworthy context and must not encourage real-world harm.
• Politically sensitive content: content may be reviewed where it is deceptive, misleading, or presented as verified fact without a reasonable basis.
• Medical, legal, or financial information: content must comply with applicable laws and must not be presented as a substitute for advice from a qualified professional.

2.3 Generally Prohibited Conduct

• Generating or spreading materially false information, fabricated evidence, or claims known to be disproven.
• Impersonating real individuals, brands, or organizations without authorization or in a manner likely to deceive others.
• Infringing intellectual property, publicity, confidentiality, or privacy rights.
• Deceptively presenting AI-generated content as verified human-created content where disclosure is legally required or its omission would materially mislead others.
• Bulk-generating spam, phishing material, scams, or deceptive commercial content.
• Using jailbreak prompts or other methods designed to bypass the Platform's safety measures.

3. Content Moderation

We operate a multi-layer moderation system that combines automated review, human review, and periodic audits.

3.1 Automated Review

Requests and generated content are subject to automated, real-time safety review, which may include:

• Input filtering: keyword, semantic, and intent detection applied to prompts and submitted content.
• Output filtering: safety assessment of generated content before or during delivery.
• Usage-pattern analysis: monitoring for anomalous, abusive, or automated usage patterns.
• Safety systems: AI-provider safety filters and Platform safety controls.

3.2 Human Review

• Content flagged by automated systems may be referred to designated moderation personnel for review.
• User-reported content is manually reviewed where necessary to make or confirm an enforcement decision.
• Review personnel receive content-safety guidance and are subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.

Human review is conducted consistently with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

3.3 Periodic Audits

• We conduct quarterly random sampling to evaluate content-safety controls and enforcement consistency.
• We regularly evaluate and improve the accuracy and effectiveness of our safety classifiers and review processes.
• We do not currently represent that these audits are conducted by an independent third party.

3.4 Content Severity Levels

4. Reporting

4.1 When to Report

• Content or behavior that may violate this Policy's content standards.
• Critical violations involving child safety, terrorism, or credible threats of violence.
• AI impersonation, non-consensual deepfakes, or infringement of your rights.
• Spam, scams, attempts to bypass safety controls, or other abusive use of the Platform.

4.2 Reporting Principles

• Confidentiality: we protect reporter information and disclose it only where necessary and permitted by law.
• Impartiality: reports are reviewed objectively based on the available evidence and this Policy.
• Anti-abuse: malicious, knowingly false, or repetitive abusive reports may be recorded and actioned.

5. Reporting Channels

To report content, request a safety review, or raise an urgent safety concern, contact us at support@deckgist.com. Please include the relevant content or presentation URL, a description of the concern, and any supporting information that may help us review the report.

6. Response and Processing Timelines

These are target timeframes, not guaranteed resolution times. Complex matters, legal requests, or cases requiring external coordination may take longer. If extended processing is required, we will notify the reporter where practical and explain the reason for the delay.

Our general processing workflow is: received and acknowledged → triage and severity classification → automated and/or human review → decision → enforcement → notification.

7. Enforcement Actions

We may select, combine, or escalate enforcement measures based on the severity of the violation, the user's history, intent, actual or potential harm, and applicable law.

8. Appeals

You may appeal an enforcement decision within 30 days after receiving notice of that decision by emailing support@deckgist.com. Please identify the decision being appealed and explain why you believe it should be changed.

• We aim to review appeals within 10 business days.
• Where reasonably practicable, the appeal will be reviewed by a person who was not responsible for the original decision.
• Enforcement may remain in effect while an appeal is being reviewed.

9. Transparency and Policy Updates

• We aim to publish a content-safety transparency report annually.
• We will provide at least 15 days' advance notice of material changes through an in-product announcement or registered email address.
• We will update the "Last Updated" date when this Policy changes. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
