3.1 Content Scanning & Safety Monitoring
To ensure platform safety and legal compliance, we employ automated and manual content analysis:
Automated Scanning
- CSAM Detection: All content is scanned using hash matching (PhotoDNA) and AI detection to identify child sexual abuse material
- Deepfake Detection: Synthetic media analysis to identify non-consensual deepfakes of real individuals
- Facial Recognition: Screening against databases of protected individuals (celebrities, public figures)
- Age Estimation: AI models detect content that appears to depict minors
- Prohibited Content Filtering: Pattern matching and classification for banned content categories
Data Used for Safety
When scanning content and investigating violations, we may analyze:
- Video files, images, and visual content
- User-provided prompts, descriptions, and metadata
- Upload timestamps, IP addresses, and geolocation data
- Account information and usage patterns
- Device fingerprints and browser characteristics
- User reports and flagged content notifications
Consent to Scanning: By using Kwiki AI, you consent to automated scanning and analysis of content for safety and compliance purposes. This scanning is necessary to prevent illegal content and protect individuals from harm.
4. Data Storage and Security
Most user data is stored locally on your device using browser storage technologies (cookies and localStorage). We do not maintain user accounts or profiles.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use certain features of our service.
