The principle
PixieDust exists to help creators make beautiful, original work. We block uses that cause real-world harm to real-world people, that infringe other creators' rights, or that put us legally at risk.
Real people
You may generate your own likeness freely. You may generate other people's likeness only if:
- You have their written consent, and
- The content is non-explicit, non-misleading, and they're aware of the intended use.
Public figures may not be depicted in misleading contexts — fake quotes, fake events, fake endorsements. Editorial commentary and parody are allowed if clearly labeled.
Minors & exploitation
Generation of CSAM (child sexual abuse material) is absolutely prohibited and will result in immediate account termination, content reporting to NCMEC, and notification of law enforcement.
Any sexualized generation involving real people requires that person's documented written consent and that they are 18+. We hash-match against known consent-violation datasets at upload time.
Harm & misuse
You may not use the Service to:
- Create non-consensual intimate imagery of anyone.
- Make material that incites violence, harassment, or hatred against a person or group.
- Generate content that promotes self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders.
- Build deepfake fraud materials — synthetic ID documents, fake passports, voice clones for scams.
- Train models that bypass our safety filters, or reproduce models from our outputs.
Copyright & trademarks
You're responsible for the rights to anything you upload. Don't upload other artists' work as input, don't prompt for a living artist's "in the style of" output and pass it off commercially, don't generate brand logos or trademarked characters for use you don't have a license for.
We respond to DMCA notices at copyright@pixiedust.app. We honor "do not train on my work" requests for any work whose rightsholder writes to us.
Security & abuse
No probing, scraping, or attempts to circumvent rate limits or safety filters. No reverse-engineering the AI pipeline. No automated account creation. Bug reports welcome at security@pixiedust.app under our responsible-disclosure policy.
Enforcement
Violations are caught by a mix of automated classifiers and human review. Consequences scale: warning → temporary suspension → permanent ban. Severe violations are immediate permanent bans with no refund and, where applicable, law-enforcement referral.
Disputes: write to appeals@pixiedust.app within 30 days of a suspension. A human will review.
