Generative AI Usage Policy

For My Virtual Headshot AI Images & Bellini Studios

Effective Date: April 1, 2025

Version: 1.0

Overview

My Virtual Headshot AI Images (“MVH”), including our associated brand Bellini Studios, uses advanced generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create high-quality digital headshots. This policy outlines our standards for ethical AI use and provides guidance for our clients on responsible use of AI-generated content.

1. Our Commitment

We uphold the highest standards of transparency, privacy, and ethical AI development, as reflected in guidelines set forth by the American Bar Association, state bar associations (including Illinois, California, Florida, Texas, and New Jersey), and the Illinois Supreme Court.

MVH and Bellini Studios are committed to:

  • Clearly disclosing when an image is AI-generated

  • Protecting the confidentiality and personal data of our clients

  • Ensuring fairness, accuracy, and authenticity in AI headshots

  • Preventing misuse or deception related to AI-created content

2. AI Image Creation Process

  • Clients upload photos and provide preferences for their headshots.

  • Our system uses proprietary generative AI models to create headshots that reflect professional, photorealistic enhancements.

  • All images are processed in secure environments with no reuse of personal data for training unless explicitly permitted.

3. Usage Guidelines for Clients

Clients may use MVH/Bellini Studios AI-generated headshots for:

  • Professional networking (e.g., LinkedIn, resumes, websites)

  • Marketing, branding, and promotional materials

  • Print and digital portfolios

Clients must not use these images to:

  • Misrepresent or impersonate another person

  • Submit images in legal, governmental, or official ID contexts without disclosure

  • Generate misleading or defamatory content

We strongly recommend disclosing the AI nature of your image when required by your profession, organization, or applicable ethical guidelines (e.g., legal or medical professions).

4. Disclaimers

  • MVH and Bellini Studios do not create or endorse deepfakes or deceptive imagery.

  • We do not support the use of our AI outputs for fraudulent, unlawful, or misleading purposes.

  • Each AI-generated headshot is a creative rendering and may differ from real-life appearances.

5. Privacy and Data Security

  • We do not store, sell, or share your photos or biometric data without consent.

  • Images are processed with encrypted systems and are permanently deleted after delivery unless clients opt in to retain files.

  • We comply with data privacy laws including GDPR and CCPA.

6. Intellectual Property & Licensing

  • Clients receive a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use their AI headshots for personal and commercial use.

  • MVH retains the right to use anonymized or generic sample outputs for marketing unless clients opt out.

7. Legal & Ethical Use

Clients in regulated industries (e.g., legal, medical, finance) should consult their governing body’s rules. Improper representation of AI images in court, in confidential filings, or in deceptive advertising may be unethical or unlawful.

8. Transparency Tools

Where feasible, MVH embeds metadata tags or digital watermarks to identify images as AI-generated. This reinforces our commitment to ethical transparency and responsible image use.
