Notice-and-removal process for non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and AI-generated deepfakes, as required by 47 U.S.C. § 223a (Public Law 119-12).
This policy describes how SpicyGen receives, validates, and removes non-consensual intimate visual depictions (NCII), including realistic computer-generated or AI-altered depictions (commonly called “deepfakes”) of identifiable individuals, in accordance with the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act (47 U.S.C. § 223a; Public Law 119-12; enforcement effective 19 May 2026).
Copyright-only complaints are handled separately under our DMCA process. See DMCA Copyright Notice for the correct intake form.
A valid TAKE IT DOWN Act request must include each of the following statutory elements. Our intake form collects these directly:
Submit requests at spicygen.ai/report-abuse (select “Non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII)” or “AI-generated deepfake”). Designated contact email: contact@spicygen.ai.
Knowingly making a materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement to SpicyGen.ai or to the United States may be punishable under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and other applicable laws.
Upon receipt of a valid request, SpicyGen will remove or disable access to the reported depiction as soon as possible and in any event within 48 hours. Each submission is timestamped on ingestion and an internal removal deadline (removeBy) is recorded automatically.
Automated monitoring runs every 15 minutes. If the deadline is approaching or has been missed, our on-call team is paged by email immediately. Compliance with the 48-hour SLA is tracked as a key operational metric.
After removing the reported depiction, SpicyGen takes reasonable efforts to identify and remove identical copies of the same depiction elsewhere on the service. This includes review of related content uploaded by the same account and review of items flagged by our automated similarity tooling.
Every request is logged to an append-only audit trail at the moment of submission and on every subsequent admin action (review, removal, resolution). Audit records are immutable and accessible only to authorized SpicyGen staff. Reports and audit records are retained for a minimum of one (1) year after resolution to support potential legal process and good-faith dispute review.
We do not log Personally Identifiable Information in operational telemetry; internal references use opaque report identifiers.
Any reported non-consensual intimate visual depiction (real or computer-generated, including AI-altered “deepfakes”) that depicts or appears to depict a minor is treated as the highest-priority class of report. In addition to the standard 48-hour TAKE IT DOWN Act removal SLA, SpicyGen:
Reports involving minors do not require the same identity-of-the -depicted-individual affirmation as adult NCII reports; any person may report on behalf of a minor.
If you believe content uploaded by you was removed in error, you may submit a formal good-faith dispute through our counter-notice form (select “TAKE IT DOWN Act”). You will be asked to identify the removed material, the URL it appeared at, and to affirm under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal was a mistake or misidentification. You may also email contact@spicygen.ai with the request ID. Good-faith removals based on a facially valid request do not give rise to liability under the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
SpicyGen may update this policy to reflect changes in law, FTC guidance, or our operational practices. Material changes will be noted on this page.
