Open the companion tool →Why photo uploads carry hidden long-term risks
Uploading headshots to commercial AI portrait generators often grants vendors broad rights to store, analyze, and train models on facial geometry.
Generating altered images of friends or classmates without explicit consent violates personal boundaries and can lead to severe school disciplinary issues.
The protocol
- Agree never to upload photos of friends, classmates, or family members without their explicit permission.
- Check app terms to confirm images are processed ephemerally and not added to public training databases.
- Avoid apps that require full photo library access when camera-only access is sufficient.
- Agree that if a uncomfortable or altered image circulates, the teen can come to the parent without fear of losing device privileges.
What the tool does
Create a mutual family agreement on facial privacy, image generation, and consent when using AI photo apps.
Limit first: This agreement fosters open communication. It is a family contract, not legal enforcement.

If non-consensual synthetic images are being shared at school, contact school administrators or consult resources at TakeItDown (takeitdown.ncmec.org).
