Acceptable Use Policy

Last updated: October 3, 2026 · Version 2.0

Before publishing: replace every [PLACEHOLDER] with your real legal entity name and contact addresses. Every reporting channel you list must be genuinely monitored — unreviewed channels are worse than fewer, honest ones.

[LEGAL COMPANY NAME] ("DocTranslator", "we", "us") is committed to providing a safe, lawful and responsible AI translation service. This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") defines the content standards, moderation mechanisms, reporting procedures and enforcement actions that apply to all content processed through the Service. It forms an integral part of our Terms of Service.

1. Scope

This Policy applies to all content processed by the Service, including:

2. Prohibited Content Categories

You must not use the Service to translate, generate, store or distribute any of the following six categories of content:

1. Pornographic / NSFW content
2. Violent / gore content
3. Hate speech
4. Child unsafe content (CSAM)
5. Deepfakes / impersonation of others
6. Copyright / trademark infringement

2.1 Absolute prohibitions — zero tolerance

The following are prohibited without exception. We act immediately and reserve the right to report to authorities:

There is no exception to Section 2.1. Content that appears to sexualise a minor is refused, the account is immediately suspended and permanently terminated, we preserve all available evidence, and we report suspected CSAM to the relevant law enforcement authorities and child protection bodies (including NCMEC) without delay and irrespective of where the account is located. We cooperate fully with lawful requests.

2.2 Restricted — permitted only under stated conditions

2.3 General prohibitions

3. Content Moderation

We operate a layered "automated screening + human review + periodic audit" moderation system. We never pass raw, unmoderated model output directly to users.

3.1 Automated screening (real time)

3.2 Human review

3.3 Periodic audit

3.4 Severity classification

Level Description Typical handling
L1 CriticalChild safety, terrorism, WMDAutomatic block + human confirmation; immediate ban and report
L2 High riskCSAM-adjacent, non-consensual intimate imagery, deliberate IP infringement at scaleAutomatic flag + priority review; removal and suspension
L3 MediumGeneral policy violations, abusive behaviour, minor infringementHuman review; warning and removal
L4 LowMinor technical or etiquette breachesReport-triggered; warning and correction

4. Reporting Violations

4.1 When to report. Report content or behaviour that breaches this Policy, content involving child safety or terrorism, or AI impersonation of you or your organisation.

4.2 Our reporting principles.

5. Reporting Channels

Please use the channel that best fits your report. Only list channels you genuinely monitor.

When reporting, please include the account email, the document or output concerned, and a description of the policy section you believe was breached. For L1 child safety reports, mark the subject line "URGENT - CHILD SAFETY".

6. Response and Resolution Timelines

Violation type Initial response Resolution
L1 Critical (child safety, terrorism)Escalated within 2 hours; account suspended immediatelyClosed and reported to authorities within 24 hours
L2 High riskWithin 24 hoursWithin 3 business days
L3 MediumWithin 3 business daysWithin 7 business days
L4 LowWithin 5 business daysWithin 15 business days

If resolution requires longer, we will proactively notify the reporter with a reason and a revised timeframe. Process: report received (auto-acknowledged) → severity classification (L1–L4) → review (automated + human) → decision → enforcement executed → outcome communicated.

7. Enforcement Actions

We apply proportionate actions from the following ladder. We only take measures we are technically able to execute.

Action Measure When applied
1. WarningWritten warning, content must be removed or correctedFirst minor breach
2. Content removalOffending content is removed and access blockedConfirmed L3–L4
3. Feature or quota restrictionReduced call limits or feature accessRepeat minor or single L3
4. Account suspensionTemporary suspension pending reviewL2 or cumulative breaches
5. Permanent banAccess permanently terminated; data retained per Privacy PolicyL1 or repeated L2
6. Legal actionReport to law enforcement and cooperate with investigationSuspected criminal activity, especially L1

Where we terminate an account, we will, where appropriate, refund prepaid unused amounts. We may withhold details of our investigation to protect other users and our systems.

8. Appeals

If you disagree with an enforcement decision, you may submit an appeal within 14 days of notification:

Appeals are reviewed within 10 business days by a reviewer who was not involved in the original decision. We will confirm the outcome in writing.

9. Policy Changes

We may update this Policy. Material changes will be notified at least 15 days in advance by platform notice or email. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. We will publish a version history on request so the policy in force at any past date can be evidenced.
