Content and safety policy

Updated October 10, 2026

YOU, THE MOVIE makes one kind of film: On the Run, a fictional family comedy starring a customer’s own young child and the two grown-ups who play Dad and Mom. This policy explains what you can make, what is not allowed, and how we check every photo, cover and movie. Questions: tal@youthemovie.ai.

What you can make

• One movie of your own family, made from one photo each of your child and the two grown-ups who play Dad and Mom, with permission from everyone shown and from the child’s parent or guardian.
• The story, scenes and actions are the same for every family. You add the names and an optional ending message. You cannot write prompts, choose what anyone does or says, or upload a video or a voice recording.
• You receive a finished movie and its cover. We do not provide an editing tool, a reusable AI model of anyone, or a way to make other videos.

What is not allowed

• Photos of public figures or celebrities, with no exceptions (see “Public figures” below).
• Photos of anyone who has not given permission, and photos of a child without permission from the child’s parent or legal guardian.
• Nudity, sexual or suggestive content, violence, self-harm, hate, harassment or illegal material, in photos, names or messages.
• Using a movie or cover to impersonate someone, to suggest that someone endorses something, or to present it as real footage.

How we check

Before your cover is made

• You confirm that you are 18 or older and have permission from everyone shown and from the child’s parent or guardian. We record that confirmation with your preview.
• Every photo is checked automatically for sexual, violent and self-harm content with OpenAI’s moderation model, and compared with a database of well-known public figures with Amazon Rekognition. A photo that fails either check is deleted and never used, and you can choose a different photo.
• The names and the ending message are checked automatically for unsafe text.

Before you see your cover

• Every cover is checked again, with the same two checks, after it is made. A cover that fails is never shown to you. When another scene is available, we automatically try once more in a different scene, checked the same way; if no cover can be made, you can choose different photos and start again. Our image provider’s own safety filters also apply when the cover is made.

Before we deliver your movie

• Every movie is checked automatically, two frames per second, for public-figure matches and explicit content.
• A person on our team then watches the whole movie against a written checklist: the right family, the right names and message, and nothing unsafe.

Safeguards against deepfakes

• Your own family only. Every order needs permission from everyone shown, confirmed before any photo is uploaded.
• No public figures, no exceptions. Photos, covers and movies are compared with a database of well-known people, and every match is refused automatically.
• No prompts, videos or voices. Every movie tells the same fictional story, so no one can choose what a person says or does in it.
• A finished movie, not a tool. Customers never receive an editing tool or an AI model of any person.
• People check every movie before it is delivered.
• Clearly branded. Every cover carries the YOU, THE MOVIE name, and our site and Terms describe every cover and movie as generated with AI.

Public figures

We do not make movies of public figures or celebrities, for anyone, including public figures themselves. A photo, cover or movie that matches a well-known public figure is refused automatically, and nobody on our team can override that.

Report misuse

If you believe a photo of you or your child was used without permission, or you see a movie that breaks this policy, email tal@youthemovie.ai with the subject “Report” and any details you have. We reply within 2 business days, pause the related order while we review it, and delete its photos, cover and movie if the report is confirmed.

Enforcement

We decline orders that break this policy and refund them under our Refund Policy. We may close accounts that repeatedly try to upload prohibited photos. Where the law requires it, we report illegal material to the authorities.

Your data

We do not keep face measurements from these checks, only whether a photo or cover passed and, if not, why. Photos that fail are deleted right away. Finished movies stay on your private movie page for 12 months after delivery and are then deleted from our storage. See our Privacy Policy for the providers involved and how long we keep photos.
