AI likeness consent record builderwhen someone’s face or voice is used in your AI project
TimeBinder adds a layer of protection against AI and human fraud and disputes. Say whose face, voice or name is used, for which uses, for how long and how they agreed. You get a plain consent record and a list of gaps.
Everything you type stays on this page. This page does not check that anyone really agreed, does not check ages or identities, and does not make a use lawful. It writes down what you tell it. It is not a contract, a release or legal advice.
Build your consent record
Name the person and project, tick what is used and what they agreed to, and say how they agreed. Nothing you type is sent to TimeBinder.
Everything you type stays on this page. Nothing is sent anywhere or tied to your name.
Write down what a person agreed to when their face or voice is used in an AI project
Say whose face, voice or name is used, in which project, for which uses, for how long, and how they agreed. You get a plain consent record and a list of gaps. It is not a contract or a release that a court will accept.
What should I write down when a person agrees to appear in an AI-made video or voice project? The short answer
Write down who agreed, to what project, which parts of them are used (face, voice, name, style), which uses they agreed to (this project, social posts, advertising, training an AI model, later edits), for how long, when and how they agreed, and whether they can withdraw. Get it in writing or on a recording, not by memory.
Use a proper release for anything important, with advice. Rules on a person’s image, voice and data differ by country and by US state, and extra rules apply to children. This page keeps your own record of what was agreed. It does not decide whether that is enough.
Why this came up in November 2026
Creators are making AI videos with real faces and voices and asking about permission. Counts below were read on 13 November 2026 (Australia/Brisbane) unless the text says another date. AI Video School’s “Make Realistic AI Movies Starring YOU (AI Filmmaking Tutorial)” showed 26,343 views after upload on 5 November 2026, inside our 14 day window. Theoretically Media’s “ByteDance’s World Model Re-Shoots Movies, Sora Returns? and Krea 3 Is Here!” showed 54,939 views after upload on 15 October, outside it. On X, a search for Sora, cameo, voice clone or deepfake with likeness, consent or permission found 142 English posts in the 7 days to 13 November 2026. We rate demand as modest and say so. We have not checked what either video says.

What this tool does and does not do
The honest job of this page is to make the agreement specific while everyone remembers it. See also the glossary entries for existed no later than and SHA-256.
| Part | What it does | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| Consent record | Writes who agreed to what, for how long and how, in plain words. | Check that anyone really agreed. |
| Gaps | Flags oral-only agreement, no end date, no mention of AI training, minors and advertising uses. | Know the law where you or they live. |
| Copy | Lets you copy or download the record. | Send anything anywhere. |
| A TimeBind of a file you already hold | Records that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and still matches, using a SHA-256 fingerprint made in your browser. The file stays on your device. | Show who a person was or that they understood what they agreed to. |
If you may need to show your files later
For a project that uses someone’s likeness:
- Save the signed or recorded agreement and the final files together.
- Make a TimeBind of each exact file you already hold. The fingerprint is made in your browser and the file stays on your device. You can later download a Proof of Time Certificate.
- Keep the date of the agreement and of the release.
A TimeBind shows each exact file existed no later than the recorded time and still matches. It does not show who the person was or what they understood.
First Pooled TimeBind free, no card, then from US$5. An ASAP TimeBind is US$15.
What a TimeBind shows, and what it does not. It shows that an exact file existed no later than a recorded time and that a copy shown later still matches its fingerprint. It does not show who made the file, who owns it, that its contents are true, or whether AI was used to make or edit it. This is general information, not legal advice.
AI likeness consent record builder: FAQ
Is this a model release?
No. It is your own record of what was agreed. Use a proper release for anything important, with advice.
Is spoken agreement enough?
It is much harder to show later. Get it in writing or on a recording. The tool flags spoken-only agreement.
Can someone agree to AI training on their voice?
They can only agree to what they understand, and tool terms and local law matter. Say it explicitly, and check what each tool does with the material.
What about under-18s?
A parent or guardian generally has to agree, and extra rules apply. This page does not cover them. Ask before you go ahead.
Does this work in the US and the EU?
Rules differ by US state and EU country, including publicity and data protection rules. Check where the person and your audience are.
Is anything I type or tick sent to TimeBinder?
No. This page runs in your browser. What you type stays on the page.
