(policy questions)
This Acceptable Use Policy (the "AUP") governs your use of
the AlphaGen AutoAnnotation System, the AlphaGen mobile
application, our developer APIs, and any related software or
data products (collectively, the "Services"). The AUP is
incorporated into the Terms of Service
and applies to every user, including each Authorised User
operating under a Customer account.
If you breach this AUP, AlphaGen may suspend or terminate your
access under Section 11 of the Terms of Service, with or without
prior notice depending on severity, and may report unlawful
activity to law-enforcement authorities.

1. Lawful use
You must use the Services only for lawful purposes. You must
not use the Services to:
- Violate any applicable law, regulation, court order, or
binding regulator guidance — including UK and EU
data-protection laws, sanctions, export controls, anti-money-
laundering rules, or rules of any professional body governing
your sector.
- Infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy,
publicity, or contractual rights.
- Process personal data without a valid legal basis under UK
GDPR / EU GDPR or equivalent law.
2. Prohibited content
You must not upload, store, transmit, generate, or annotate any
content that:
- Depicts child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any sexual
exploitation of minors. Suspected CSAM is reported to the
Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) and to the National Center for
Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) where applicable, with
account suspension and full preservation of evidence under
s.69 Serious Crime Act 2015 procedures.
- Depicts non-consensual intimate imagery, "deepfake" sexual
content, or other content that violates the Online Safety Act
2023.
- Constitutes incitement to terrorism, glorification of violence,
or recruitment material under the Terrorism Acts.
- Is defamatory, libellous, threatening, harassing, or
intimidating.
- Discloses personal data of a third party without that person's
documented consent or another lawful basis.
- Contains malware, exploit code, or material designed to
compromise the Services or other systems.
3. Prohibited uses
Even where the underlying content is lawful, you must not use
the Services to:
3.1 Surveillance and identification
- Conduct mass surveillance of identifiable individuals not
involved in your specified Customer use case.
- Build, train, or operate any face-recognition, gait-recognition,
or biometric identification system targeting people who have
not provided documented consent for that purpose, except where
expressly contracted under an Order Form that names the
permitted use.
- Re-identify any subject whose identifiers have been suppressed
or redacted by the Services.
3.2 Profiling and decision-making
- Use Output to make automated decisions producing legal or
similarly significant effects on a person under Art. 22 UK GDPR
unless you have a valid Art. 22(2) basis and have implemented
the safeguards required by law.
- Use Output to score, profile, or rank natural persons for
insurance, credit, employment, housing, education,
immigration, benefits, or law-enforcement purposes without
written authorisation under your Order Form.
3.3 Health, legal, financial, safety-critical
- Rely on Output as the sole basis for any clinical diagnosis,
treatment decision, legal opinion, financial advice, or
safety-critical determination. AlphaGen Output is
diagnostic-grade only when expressly certified for that use on
the Order Form, and even then, qualified human review is
required.
3.4 Manipulation and deception
- Generate, alter, or label content with intent to deceive,
including fabricating evidence, impersonating real people, or
misrepresenting AI-generated content as human-authored where
the audience would reasonably expect human authorship (see the
AI Transparency page).
3.5 Competitive use
- Use the Services to develop, train, or benchmark a competing
AI / annotation product, or to extract AlphaGen models, model
weights, prompts, or training data.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive
the source code, model weights, or proprietary algorithms of
the Services, except to the extent expressly permitted by
law.
4. System integrity
You must not:
- Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Services, except
through AlphaGen's authorised vulnerability-disclosure process
(security@alpha-gen.ai).
- Bypass, disable, or interfere with any rate-limiting,
authentication, authorisation, or content-filtering control.
- Circumvent any usage limit on your Order Form (e.g.
programmatically rotating accounts to evade per-account quotas).
- Generate or distribute spam, mass unsolicited messages, or
conduct phishing through the Services.
- Use the Services to mine cryptocurrency, host or relay
network attacks, run torrent trackers, or conduct any
resource-intensive activity outside the contracted purpose.
- Submit data with the intent of exhausting infrastructure,
causing denial of service, or otherwise harming AlphaGen,
other customers, or third parties.
5. AI-specific prohibitions
You must not use the Services to:
- Train weapons systems, military targeting systems, or
autonomous lethal-force decision systems.
- Generate content for political deception — e.g. fabricated
speech audio of real political figures, fake election
announcements, or content designed to suppress voter turnout.
- Generate non-consensual sexual content of any real person.
- Defeat copyright by generating content substantially
reproducing a specific copyrighted work the user does not have
rights to.
- Generate harmful instructions — e.g. instructions for
manufacturing weapons of mass destruction, biothreats,
malware, or for self-harm.
- Bypass another platform's safety systems (jailbreak prompts,
payload obfuscation).
These prohibitions apply regardless of how the Service is being
used — annotation, propagation, model fine-tuning (LoRA), or
analytics workflows.
6. HITL game integrity
When using the AlphaGen mobile HITL games (Masking, Salience,
Intent, Discovery), you must not:
- Submit deliberately false or low-effort annotations to claim
game points or leaderboard position.
- Operate multiple accounts to inflate your own performance
metrics or to manipulate trust-weighting calculations.
- Share screen recordings, prompts, or accounts with people who
do not hold an Authorised User credential under the Customer's
account.
- Reverse-engineer the trust-weighting model, the conductor's
selector, or the cognitive-load model.
7. Reporting abuse
If you become aware of any breach of this AUP — by your own
Authorised Users or by a third party — please notify
abuse@alpha-gen.ai promptly. AlphaGen treats abuse reports as
confidential and will not retaliate against good-faith reporters.
8. Enforcement
Suspected breaches of this AUP are investigated under the
Internal Information Security Policy by AlphaGen's Trust &
Safety on-call. The investigation may include reviewing relevant
audit logs, blocking specific API endpoints or IP ranges,
suspending an Authorised User credential, or preserving evidence
under legal hold. AlphaGen will give the Customer reasonable
notice of any enforcement action where lawful and operationally
practicable.
The remedies for breach of this AUP are cumulative with those in
the Terms of Service and at law.
9. Updates
AlphaGen may update this AUP from time to time. The current
version is always at docs/legal/external/acceptable-use-policy.md
and on https://alpha-gen.ai/legal/acceptable-use-policy. Material
changes are announced in the Privacy Policy Changelog and (for
contracted Customers) by email to the account contact.
