Content Policy
Effective date: 2026-08-17
This policy covers what you may and may not upload to FilmForge. It applies
alongside the Terms of Service.
The short version
Upload footage you have the right to use, of people who agreed to be filmed,
that is not illegal. That covers almost everyone.
Not permitted
You may not upload:
- Sexual content involving minors. Any such material is reported to the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children through its
CyberTipline, as United States federal law requires, and the account is
terminated permanently. There is no warning and no appeal.
- Non-consensual intimate imagery, including material created or altered to
depict someone sexually without their agreement.
- Content you do not have the rights to - other people's films, television,
music videos or commercial footage.
- Footage of identifiable people who have not consented, where their consent
is required by law.
- Material that incites violence against a person or group, or that promotes
terrorism.
- Content designed to deceive - fabricated footage presented as a genuine
record of real events, or material intended to defraud.
- Anything otherwise unlawful where you are, or where we operate.
Adult content
Sexually explicit material may not be uploaded, whether or not everyone in it
consented.
No person reviews your video - processing is automatic and your upload is
deleted when the render finishes. This rule exists anyway, because the
services this one depends on to operate (payment processors, app stores)
prohibit adult content outright, whether or not a human ever looks at it.
A note on authenticity
FilmForge produces an emulation. Its output has never been on film or tape.
Do not present it as genuine archive footage, a genuine historical record, or
material actually shot on Super 8 or VHS. Describing the output honestly is
your responsibility, and misrepresenting it may breach consumer protection law
as well as these terms.
Reporting
To report content that breaks this policy, contact SUPPORT_EMAIL_TBD with
enough detail to identify it. We review reports and act where a breach is
confirmed. Reports of sexual content involving minors are treated with the
highest priority and are passed to the NCMEC CyberTipline.
Enforcement
Where we find a breach we may remove content, refuse further uploads, suspend
or terminate access, and report the matter to law enforcement. Severity guides
which of these applies; child sexual abuse material always results in a report
and a permanent ban.
