TAKE IT DOWN Act Policy

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).

1. Scope

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.

2. How to Submit a Request

A valid TAKE IT DOWN Act request must include each of the following statutory elements. Our intake form collects these directly:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the depicted individual or their authorized representative.
  • Identification of the specific intimate visual depiction, including a URL or other information sufficient to locate it on the service.
  • A good-faith statement that the depiction was published without the depicted individual’s consent.
  • Information sufficient for SpicyGen to contact the requester (email address).
  • An affirmation that the requester is the depicted individual or is authorized to act on their behalf.

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.

3. 48-Hour Removal Commitment

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.

4. Reasonable Efforts to Remove Identical Copies

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.

5. Triage, Audit Trail & Retention

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.

6. Heightened Protections for Minors

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:

  • Removes the content immediately upon a facially valid report, ahead of any other queue.
  • Preserves the content and associated network data andreports it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) CyberTipline under 18 U.S.C. § 2258A and the REPORT Act when the depiction meets the definition of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) at 18 U.S.C. § 2256.
  • Screens uploaded media against the NCMEC Take It Down hash-sharing ecosystem so previously reported imagery is blocked from re-upload.
  • Suspends the uploading account immediately pending review and may permanently terminate the account.

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.

7. Counter-Notice & Good-Faith Protection

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.

8. Updates to This Policy

SpicyGen may update this policy to reflect changes in law, FTC guidance, or our operational practices. Material changes will be noted on this page.
