Creator, UGC & synthetic media rights

Keep creator and AI-assisted assets traceable: document permissions, disclose material relationships where required, preserve edits, and review the final placement.

01

When to use it

Use for creator briefs, testimonials, UGC, synthetic or altered likenesses, cloned or generated voices, and reuse of creator assets in paid media.

02

What you need

  • Asset provenance and identity of the creator, performer, or rights holder
  • Written permissions and intended channels, markets, duration, edits, and paid usage
  • Disclosure requirements supplied by platform and qualified local reviewers

Workflow

  1. 01

    Inventory the asset

    Label original, edited, generated, or mixed media; record who supplied each source element.

  2. 02

    Map permission to use

    Check the permission actually covers likeness, voice, music, location, edits, paid distribution, markets, and time period.

  3. 03

    Protect testimonial truth

    Do not invent experience, results, or endorsements. Keep the creator’s meaning intact and retain evidence for material claims.

  4. 04

    Check disclosure

    Identify commercial relationships and synthetic alterations that may need disclosure; verify current rules for each platform and market.

  5. 05

    Review the final placement

    Review the rendered post or ad, caption, disclosure visibility, crop, and links—not only the source file.

  6. 06

    Keep a rights record

    Store permission reference, allowed uses, expiry/review date, versions, approvals, and takedown contact.

04

Output

An asset provenance and rights register, disclosure decision, approved final placement, and a clear expiry/takedown path.

05

Boundaries

This is an operational checklist, not a determination of legal rights or licensing. Obtain advice for the relevant jurisdiction and contract.

06

How it fits existing work

Complements campaign compliance review by focusing on asset provenance, creator permissions, truthful endorsements, and reuse rights.
