Zaki, AI Content Policy
Version 2.0 · Effective 8 September 2026
Language: English. The English text is the authoritative version. Translations
are provided for convenience; where they conflict, the English text governs,
except where local law requires the local-language version to prevail.
1. What this covers
This policy is part of the Terms of Service. It says what Zaki will not make, how it decides, and what to do when it gets that decision wrong. The categories below are the ones the software actually uses, named the way it names them, so that a refusal you receive can be matched to a line on this page.
2. Refused outright
These are refused before anything is charged, and there is no version of them that gets through by rewording.
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Child sexual material | Anything that sexualises a minor, in any form, including a photograph and including a written request. This is the one category where we act without any weighing at all, and where a serious attempt is reported to the authorities rather than merely blocked |
| Non-consensual and intimate imagery | Intimate images of a person who did not agree to them; material shot covertly, including up-skirt and hidden-camera imagery and anything set in a bedroom, shower or changing room without consent; and revenge material |
| Sexual content | Explicit sexual activity, and depictions of genitals or female breasts |
| Graphic violence | Beheading, dismemberment, disembowelment, mutilation, and imagery of a real person who has been killed or seriously injured |
| Hate | Violence directed at a group by race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, disability or any comparable characteristic, and the explicit vocabulary of it |
| Impersonation and deepfakes | Face-swaps, lookalikes and requests to depict a named real person or a public figure. See section 5 |
| Illegal activity | Instructions or depictions that exist to commit a crime: explosives, chemical or biological weapons, drug synthesis, trafficking, contract killing |
| Attempts to defeat the screening | Instructions aimed at the moderation itself rather than at the video. A serious attempt closes the account |
3. Watched, not refused
Some requests get made and recorded rather than blocked, because refusing them would take away far more than it protected. A family photograph at a beach is a video; a request built around a child in underwear is not, and the difference is not something a word list can be trusted with on its own.
Harassment and humiliation aimed at somebody, political content that could mislead about what a real person did, themes of self-harm, and ambiguous violence are all in this group. A record is kept, and a pattern of them gets a person's attention.
4. Photographs of other people
Upload a photograph of somebody else only if they have agreed to being put in a machine-made video. Agreeing to be photographed years ago at a wedding is not that agreement.
In Israel, publishing a person's photograph in circumstances likely to humiliate them is a civil wrong under section 2(4) of the Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981, and it does not require the publisher to have intended any harm. Across the European Union a person's likeness is their personal data, and using it needs a basis. Neither of those is our permission to give.
If somebody tells us a video was made from their photograph without their agreement, we take it down and we do not require them to prove ownership of the face first.
5. Real people and public figures
Zaki refuses to build a video around a named real person, a celebrity, a politician, or a lookalike of one. The software enforces that refusal.
Two reasons. A convincing video of somebody who never did the thing is the most harmful output this kind of tool has, and every platform Zaki's output lands on is tightening the rules against it. And Israel is legislating in this area now: sexual deepfakes are already reached by the existing privacy and sexual-harassment statutes, and a bill on deep-forgery offences is before the Knesset.
You are the exception. Your own face, in your own photograph, is what Zaki is for.
6. How the screening works
Three checks, in this order.
- Your words, as you typed them. A fixed list of rules runs on the original text in its own script, before it is sent anywhere. This one is deliberately narrow: it catches what is unambiguous and lets the rest through to the next check.
- Your words, in English. Rules run again, and then a classifier reads it. This happens inside the same database transaction as the charge and before it, so a refusal never costs you a credit.
- Your photograph. A vision model looks at every uploaded image before it is written to storage. A refused photograph leaves no trace anywhere. If the classifier cannot be reached, the upload is refused rather than allowed, which occasionally costs somebody a legitimate photograph and is the right way round.
The model that runs your video applies its own policy on top of ours and can refuse something we allowed. When it does, your credits come back.
What Zaki does not do: it does not read your photographs or your words for any purpose other than these checks and making your video, it does not build a profile of you from them, and it does not train on them.
7. Reporting a video
Every finished video in the app has a report control, and it works without leaving the app. Choose the reason that fits: sexual, violent, hateful, impersonation, copyright, or something else. Add a note if you want to.
Reports are read. A report of child sexual material or of a non-consensual intimate image is dealt with the same day. Everything else gets an answer within 14 days. If you would rather write to a person, use [email protected].
You do not have to be the person in the video, or a Zaki user, to report something to that address.
8. Appealing a refusal
Automatic classifiers refuse things they should not. If yours did, write to [email protected] with the date, the time and the job reference if you have one, and say what you were trying to make.
A person reads it, not a model, and answers within 14 days. If the refusal was wrong we will say so and fix the rule that caused it. Two categories are not appealable and never will be: child sexual material, and non-consensual intimate imagery.
This is your right under Article 22 of the GDPR and under Amendment 13 to Israel's Protection of Privacy Law, and it is also the only way we find out that a classifier has started refusing something ordinary.
9. What happens if you break this
Proportionate, in this order, and we skip straight to the end for the worst of it.
- The request is refused and nothing is charged.
- A repeated pattern gets a warning, sent to you.
- The account is suspended while we look.
- The account is closed and its content deleted. Unspent credits are forfeit in this case, and only in this case.
- For child sexual material, we report to the competent authority. There is no step before this one.
10. What this does not guarantee
Automated moderation is wrong in both directions. It refuses harmless requests, and it lets through things it should have stopped. The model providers' own systems have the same property, and stacking ours on theirs narrows the gap without closing it.
Nothing on this page is a promise that a video Zaki made is lawful, accurate, or safe for you to publish. You remain responsible for what you generate and for what you do with it, which is what section 9 of the Terms of Service says. Screening reduces harm without moving that responsibility.
11. Every video is marked
Every file Zaki produces carries a machine-readable marking that says it was generated by a model. The marking is the IPTC vocabulary term for synthetic media, written into the file itself, and it is what Article 50(2) of the European Union's AI Act has required since 2 August 2026.
Do not remove it, and say what the video is when you publish it. Where a video shows a real person, European law puts the disclosure obligation on whoever publishes it. That is you.
12. Where the templates come from
Every dance template in the catalogue is built from a clip whose creator gave us permission, and we keep a record of who, where and when for each one.
If you are a creator and your work is in Zaki without your agreement, or you gave permission and have changed your mind, write to [email protected]. We remove the template. We do not ask for a legal document first.
