Protect your photo and private work
Choose appropriate source photos, separate private work from public references and handle access links carefully.
The short answer
Use a photo you have permission to upload, review the privacy policy and keep private work links out of public posts. A source photo, an external example and a video you choose to publish have different privacy and rights boundaries.

What to check
| Step | Check |
|---|---|
| Choose a suitable source photo | Permission is part of preparation. |
| Separate private work from examples | A gallery is not your account history. |
| Treat resource links as access information | Do not publish temporary or private URLs. |
| Read how the service handles uploads | Do not infer a retention promise from a button. |
| Make a separate publication decision | A finished result is not an obligation to post it. |
Choose a suitable source photo
Use your own photo or obtain permission from the person shown. Consider whether the image includes bystanders, identifying documents or a private location that you do not intend to share.
A meme can still affect a real person. Choose a respectful use and do not infer permission from a photograph being easy to find online.
Separate private work from examples
Public reference videos explain a style or source. Your private work record identifies your own request and result. Do not assume that every example on a page is a customer upload or a video generated by this site.
Likewise, storing a source or result in your account is separate from choosing to publish it elsewhere. Review the relevant account and privacy controls before sharing.
Treat resource links as access information
Some media links can contain access information or expire. Use the available download or sharing controls rather than pasting a raw resource address into a public comment.
When asking for support, use the work record and a description of the issue. Avoid posting another person’s photo or a private link in an open forum.
Read how the service handles uploads
Review the current privacy policy for processing, retention and service-provider information. A file picker or private-looking page does not explain every storage or processing step.
If you need information that the policy does not answer, contact support before uploading sensitive material. Do not assume an unmentioned instant-deletion promise.
Make a separate publication decision
Before sharing, watch the complete result and consider likeness, context and audio rights. The original source photograph’s permission may not cover every public use of a generated parody.
Keep only the versions you intend to use in a public folder. Store your checked master and source comparison in a location that matches the privacy you want.
Questions about this task
Do not assume so. Use an image you have the right and permission to upload and depict.
