FAQs

PersonaShield is a platform that helps creators and public figures protect and control how their likeness is used in AI. Creators set safeguards for what is and is not allowed, PersonaShield monitors for unauthorized AI images, and creators can also give fans an official way to create with their likeness on their terms.

PersonaShield is for content creators, influencers, public figures, and everyday individuals who want to protect, govern, and monetize their personal likeness in the era of generative AI. The problem is the same at every level of visibility. Only the volume changes.

Sign-up happens at my.personashield.com. Create your creator account, set your safeguards, and verify your identity. Monitoring runs from there.

Setup takes under five minutes across four steps. Create your account, set your safeguards, sign your biometric consent and authorization, then verify your identity with a quick liveness check. If you want fans to create with your likeness, you upload reference images during setup. That step is optional and can wait.

Yes. The Creator plan includes a two-week free trial. You can set your safeguards, watch monitoring run, and generate images with your own likeness before any payment. See Protection plans.

PersonaShield monitors for AI-generated images that use your likeness against the safeguards you set. That covers deepfakes, face swaps, fake endorsements, and impersonation using generated images of you.

Takedowns run through your safeguards. PersonaShield scans every two to six hours, surfaces matches in your review queue, and files on your behalf once you approve. Each submission carries verified identity, signed authority, and structured evidence, which is what platform review teams need to act. You can also paste in a URL you found yourself, and you get a status update at every stage, from filed to acknowledged to resolved.

Timing depends on the platform and the violation type. Submissions arrive with verified identity and signed authority already attached, which clears the slowest part of most platform queues.

A takedown service reacts to content you find and send over. PersonaShield runs on rules you set in advance, so violations surface before you go looking. The same safeguards also power official fan creation, which no takedown service offers. Content claiming reacts to events. PersonaShield runs on rules.

PersonaShield currently monitors X and Instagram, with more platforms coming. Our approach is to build strong workflows platform by platform rather than promise broad coverage we can’t back up.

You verify your identity once at sign-up with a liveness check, and that verified record is what matching runs against. Your safeguards then decide which uses are allowed and which get flagged. That same verification is what gives your takedown submissions authority when they reach a platform.

Safeguards are the rules for how your likeness can be used. Presets cover alcohol, weapons, nudity and explicit content, political endorsements, brand promotions, and fake news. You can add your own categories and change any of it at any time.

Yes. Nothing is filed without your approval. PersonaShield surfaces matches, you decide what gets actioned, and no enforcement happens on your likeness that you did not sign off on.

PersonaShield covers AI-generated images. Video support is coming soon. Voice and audio are not covered.

Official creation is a channel you can switch on that lets fans generate images with your likeness inside the safeguards you set. It stays off until you turn it on. Fans get something they know is sanctioned, and you earn from every image. Learn how official creation works.

No. Official creation is off by default and protection runs with or without it. You turn it on when you want it, and you can turn it back off at any time in your profile settings.

You do. The safeguards that flag unauthorized content are the same ones that define what fans can generate. One set of safeguards, two outcomes. Block political content for takedowns and fans cannot generate it either.

Fans start free. After that, packs are $8.50 for five images with one creator, or $11 for five across creators. See fan pricing.

You keep 80% of revenue on the Creator plan and 85% on Creator Pro. Earnings apply to every official image generated with your likeness. Compare Protection plans and revenue shares.

The Creator plan is $149 per month and starts with a two-week free trial. Creator Pro is $1,999 per month and adds a dedicated account manager, priority support, and setup tailored to how you or your team works. See Protection pricing.

Payouts run monthly through PayPal. Earnings accumulate through the month and pay out on that cycle.

Yes. You can cancel at any time and your account stays active through the end of the billing period.

Biometric data sits under a separate consent agreement and is handled in line with US biometric privacy law. PersonaShield collects only what is needed to verify identity, run monitoring, and file takedowns. It is encrypted, never sold, and never used to train AI.

Biometric data is deleted from production systems within 30 days of account closure or withdrawal of consent. Residual copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to 60 additional days but are not used for active processing. Read our biometric retention policy.

No. Your likeness is never used to train AI models and never appears in PersonaShield marketing without your written approval. It is not shared with third parties beyond what a takedown filing requires.

Your safeguards are private by default. You, anyone you authorize to manage your account, and the PersonaShield operations team can see them. They are never published, and they are not visible to fans or to other creators.

Only three things. Proof of identity, your authorization to act, and the specific violation being reported. Your safeguards list, your account history, and other content stay private.
