# Custom AI Video Privacy: What Happens to Your Files

**TL;DR:** Your brief, references and delivered files are used to produce your order and nothing else. No portfolio publication without written permission, no sharing with third parties, fictional characters only, crypto accepted, deletion available on request.

## What exists at each stage

Before ordering, only what you type into the brief and any reference images you attach. During production, the brief, reference frames, generated shots and edit project live in a production workspace with access limited to the people working on your order - not other clients, not affiliates, not partners. At delivery, finished files go through the channel you specify. Afterwards, working files are kept only as long as they are needed for revisions and re-delivery, and can be removed on request with confirmation.

Revision notes are handled by the same rules: they stay inside the workspace, they are read only by the people producing the order, and they are not reused anywhere. Batch them into one message per round - it is both faster and a smaller footprint.

## Fictional characters only, and why payment can be private

Every subject CarlosVideo18+ produces is a fictional 18+ character. Real people are never used as the basis for a character, and photographs of real people are not accepted as character references. That boundary keeps identity and consent problems out of the pipeline entirely, and it is a hard rule rather than a preference.

Payment can be settled in crypto as well as by crypto only, so the purchase does not appear in a bank statement description and no settlement delay sits between ordering and kickoff. Billing descriptors stay neutral either way. Delivery can go to a dedicated address with a time-limited download link if you want order traffic kept separate from your primary inbox.

## Questions worth asking any vendor before you pay

Three questions separate a real policy from a paragraph of reassurance: where files live during production and who can open them, what happens to them after delivery, and whether client work is ever published. Ask them before payment rather than after. The same discipline applies to the work itself - a twelve-point quality rubric and a written brief are the other two documents worth having in place before day one.

## Frequently asked questions

### Who can see my order?

Only the people producing it. Your brief, references and files stay in the production workspace with access limited to the team working on your order — no other clients, no affiliates, no partners.

### Are my files ever published anywhere?

Not without written permission. Nothing goes to a portfolio, showcase, social channel or testimonial. If you want a project shown, you approve it explicitly first; the default is never.

### Do you work with real people?

No. Every subject is a fictional 18+ character. Real people are never used as the basis for a character, and requests referencing real people are declined or rewritten as fictional.

### Can I pay with crypto?

Yes. Crypto is accepted only; cards are not accepted, which keeps the purchase off a bank statement description and removes settlement delay so the project starts sooner. The full flow is covered in our crypto payment guide.

### What happens to my files after delivery?

Working files are kept only as long as needed for revisions and re-delivery. Ask for deletion at any point and the order materials are removed, with confirmation sent once it is done.

### How do I keep order emails separate from my main inbox?

Use a dedicated address for delivery notifications and ask for a time-limited download link instead of a permanent one. No account beyond a contact handle is required to receive your files.
