VidBud — Content & AI Safety
How we handle intellectual property, reference material, and AI-generated people.
What VidBud is
VidBud is AI advertising creative software. Customers describe their own product and brand, and VidBud generates original vertical video ad creative for platforms such as Meta and TikTok.
VidBud is not a media library, a download service, or a way to obtain another company's advertisements.
Content you upload
You may only upload product photos, videos, logos, brand assets, reference material and photographs of people that you own or are licensed and permitted to use.
Before any upload is processed, VidBud requires an explicit, un-pre-checked confirmation: “I confirm that I own this content or have the necessary rights, licenses, permissions and consents to use it.” The confirmation is recorded server-side with the account, the asset it applies to, the wording shown and the time it was given. Processing does not start without it.
Reference analysis
Reference analysis reads high-level creative characteristics of a video you are entitled to use — hook structure, pacing, shot types, framing, creative patterns and messaging approach — and produces an abstract structural read.
That read is used to write an original creative concept for your own product, creator and brand. VidBud analyzes creative patterns and generates original content. It does not reproduce or redistribute third-party advertisements.
VidBud does not download or store third-party advertising video for customers. Where an ad is discovered through advertising research, VidBud works with publicly available advertising metadata and links only.
People and likeness
Where a customer uploads a photograph of a real person to be used as an AI actor, VidBud requires a separate explicit confirmation: “I confirm that I am this person or have their explicit permission to use their likeness for AI-generated content.” That consent is recorded server-side and generation does not proceed without it.
Creators supplied by VidBud are synthetic, AI-generated personas licensed for advertising use. They are not real customers, experts, employees or spokespeople, and must not be presented as such.
What VidBud prohibits
Copyright or trademark infringement; copying or reproducing another advertiser's advertisement; unauthorized use of third-party creative assets, logos or brand assets; unauthorized use of a person's likeness; face swaps or deepfakes intended to impersonate real people; voice cloning or voice impersonation without authorization; and deceptive impersonation of any person, brand or organisation.
VidBud does not offer face swapping, deepfake creation, celebrity or public-figure impersonation, or voice cloning of a specific person.
VidBud may suspend or remove content and accounts we reasonably believe violate these requirements.
Safeguards in place
Rights confirmation required and stored before reference videos, product photos, brand assets and creator photos are processed.
Separate likeness-consent confirmation required and stored before a photograph of a real person is used as an AI actor.
No automated copying of third-party advertising media into customer workspaces.
Reference analysis limited to abstract creative structure, with generated output written for the customer's own product and brand.
