Politique d'utilisation acceptable

Beta version v0.1. If it changes, we will tell you in the app.

This policy is part of our Terms of Use. It says what you can and cannot do on Talkalike. It applies to everything you send: messages, photos, videos, files, voice messages, calls (including video), custom emoji, stickers, your profile, the nicknames you give in a chat and anything else you upload.

1. What is allowed: adult content between consenting adults

Talkalike is for adults. Sexual content between consenting adults is allowed in your private chats. This includes explicit messages, photos, videos and voice messages that both of you want to exchange. We translate it faithfully, without softening or censoring it, and our AI voices read it as written.

This is allowed only when:

• both of you are 18 or over;
• both of you consent — if the other person says stop, or has not agreed to receive explicit content, do not send it;
• your age is verified before you send explicit photos, videos or voice messages (see below);
• the content is legal and does not fall into any of the categories in section 2;
• every person shown in an image or video is an adult who agreed to being recorded and to it being shared.

Explicit content is blurred, and needs an age check

• Blurred for everyone. Explicit photos, videos, GIFs, stickers, custom emoji, profile photos, chat backgrounds and link preview images are blurred, and explicit voice messages are locked (recording, transcript, translation and AI voice), for anyone whose age has not been verified. In a chat and in its media lists, a person whose age is verified also sees explicit photos, videos, GIFs, stickers, link preview images and voice messages blurred or locked first, and opens each with one tap; profile photos, chat backgrounds, custom emoji and the stickers and GIFs in the picker are shown to them as usual. A model on our own server checks pictures, and our AI providers check the words of voice messages (see our Privacy Notice, section 6). Only the media is blurred: a caption written with it is shown as text.
• Age check once, with Yoti. To open explicit content, or to send it, you verify your age once with Yoti. After that, you open blurred content with one tap.
• Mark your own explicit media. When you send an explicit photo, video or GIF, mark it as "Explicit content". The model can miss things; your mark is what makes sure it is blurred. If your age is not verified, the app asks you to verify before it sends a marked photo, video or GIF.
• Explicit content from someone whose age is not verified waits. If you send a message with explicit media (a photo, video, GIF, sticker, a picture or video sent as a file, or a voice message) while your age is not verified, and the model or the voice check finds the media explicit, the message is not delivered, even if someone else made the media (for example a sticker): the other person sees "Sending" until you verify. If you do not verify within 7 days, the message is deleted for both of you.
• Your own profile photo, background, and the stickers, GIFs and custom emoji you saved in a chat that are found explicit while your age is not verified are shown only to you until you verify, wherever they appear; so is an explicit photo you sent before these checks existed. A message you send with them waits as above.
• Blur for everyone. If the other person sends you a photo, video, GIF or sticker that should have been marked, choose Blur in the message menu. It is then blurred for everyone; a person whose age is verified opens it with one tap. This cannot be undone.
• What the check does not cover. Text messages, calls (including video), the built-in stickers and GIFs from GIPHY (limited to GIPHY's "PG-13" rating) are not checked. Files that are not a common photo or video format, including pictures inside documents or archives, are not checked or blurred: do not use them to get around the blur. Getting around the blur or the age check in any way breaks this policy.
• Not checked without consent. If you have not given the optional consent to send your content to AI (see the Privacy Notice), your photos, videos and voice messages are not checked, so they are blurred or locked for everyone (a person whose age is verified opens them with one tap). If you gave that consent to an earlier text, which did not name every kind we check, nothing you send is checked until you give consent to the current text (see the Privacy Notice, section 5).

2. What is never allowed

You must not use Talkalike to create, send, share, request or threaten to share any of the following.

Child sexual abuse

• Any child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or anything that sexualises a person under 18, in any form — images, video, audio, text, drawings or AI-generated content.
• Grooming, sexual communication with a child, or arranging to meet a child for sexual purposes.
• Sexual images showing, or role-playing, sexual activity with anyone under 16 — this includes adults pretending to be under 16 (Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, s.67H, in force since 6 November 2026).

We report child sexual abuse to the National Crime Agency and keep evidence as the law requires. See our Complaints and Reporting policy.

Intimate images without consent

• Sharing an intimate image or video of someone without their consent, or threatening to share one (Sexual Offences Act 2003, s.66B).
• Creating, or asking someone to create, a fake intimate image of a real person, for example with AI ("deepfakes") (Sexual Offences Act 2003, s.66E and s.66F).
• Using or offering tools that "nudify" or undress real people.
• Copying view-once or timed photos and videos (for example by screenshot or with another device) without the sender's consent. This may be a criminal offence.
• Sending images of genitals to someone who has not agreed to receive them ("cyberflashing", Sexual Offences Act 2003, s.66A).

Illegal pornographic images (even between consenting adults)

The following are illegal in the UK even if everyone involved is an adult and agrees. This is a summary; the law itself decides what is illegal.

• Extreme pornography (Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008, s.63), meaning realistic pornographic images of an act that threatens a person's life, an act likely to cause serious injury to a person's anus, breasts or genitals, sexual acts with an animal or a corpse, or non-consensual sexual penetration.
• Pornographic images showing strangulation or suffocation (s.67A, in force since 6 November 2026).
• Pornographic images showing apparent incest — sexual activity between people who appear to be close relatives (s.67E, in force since 6 November 2026).

These rules cover images and video, including realistic AI-generated images.

Sexual content our voice provider does not allow

Voice messages are read aloud by ElevenLabs, whose rules do not allow erotic material involving incest, bestiality or necrophilia, or non-consensual intimate content. Do not send such content in any form, including text, even where the law would allow it.

Harm to others

• Harassment, bullying, threats, intimidation or stalking, including after someone has blocked you or asked you to stop.
• Blackmail, including threatening to share intimate images unless someone pays or does something ("sextortion").
• Controlling or coercive behaviour.
• Encouraging someone to harm themselves or others, or to take their own life.
• Hate or abuse aimed at someone because of who they are, for example their race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability, including hate speech that stirs up hatred and other illegal hate content.
• Revealing someone's private information (such as their address) to harm or intimidate them.

Terrorism and violence

• Content that promotes, supports or helps terrorism, or relates to a proscribed organisation.
• Planning or inciting violence.

Deception and impersonation

• Pretending to be someone else, including a real person, a company or Talkalike staff.
• Using another person's voice without their permission, or trying to make our AI voices sound like a specific real person who has not agreed. When voice cloning becomes available, you may only clone your own voice.
• Using Talkalike's translations or AI voices to deceive someone, for example by presenting an AI voice as a real person's voice.
• Fraud and scams, including romance scams, investment scams, phishing and asking for money under false pretences.

Spam and misuse of the service

• Spam, bulk or automated messages, or selling or sharing invitations in bulk.
• Creating accounts with fake details or automated tools, or creating a new account after we have closed yours.
• Using Talkalike for commercial purposes (it is for personal use).
• Hacking, malware, trying to get around our security or limits, overloading our systems, or trying to access other people's accounts or data.
• Extracting, copying or reverse-engineering our AI prompts, or using Talkalike to build a competing service.

Anything else illegal

Anything that is illegal in the UK, or illegal where you or the person you are talking to are, or that infringes someone's copyright or other rights.

3. How we enforce this policy

• We do not scan your private chats for rule-breaking. People at Talkalike only look at content that has been reported (see below), and we do not use automated tools to look for rule-breaking in them. The explicit-content checks in section 1 only decide what is blurred or locked and what waits for an age check; nobody at Talkalike looks at their results.
• We act on reports. When someone reports a message or a user, a person at Talkalike reviews the reported content and a limited amount of surrounding context. Content reported as child sexual abuse or as an intimate image shared without consent is hidden for both people as soon as it is reported. See our Complaints and Reporting policy.
• What we may do if content or behaviour breaks this policy:
  • remove the content for both people and from our server;
  • warn you;
  • restrict features (for example sending media or inviting people);
  • suspend or permanently close your account;
  • keep evidence and report to the National Crime Agency, the police or other authorities where the law requires or allows it.
• How serious our response is depends on the harm. For child sexual abuse, non-consensual intimate images, extreme or illegal pornography, terrorism and serious threats, we will normally close the account straight away.
• We tell you about our decision and why, unless the law or a safety risk prevents us. You can appeal (see the Complaints and Reporting policy).

4. Protect yourself

• You can block anyone at any time. They will not be able to message or call you. Until you unblock them, you cannot message them either.
• You can report any message the other person sends (with its photos, videos or voice), or the person. Press and hold the message, or open the person's profile, and choose Report. Call lines and nickname notes have no Report of their own (for nicknames, see below).
• Nicknames follow the same rules as everything else you send. You can change or remove any nickname in your chat, also one the other person gave you; while one of you has blocked the other, nicknames can only be removed. Every change leaves a note in the chat that neither of you can delete for both. To report an abusive nickname, report the person from their profile: the report keeps both nicknames in that chat and the notes among the messages it copies. Nobody checks nicknames automatically.
• You can hide message text on your lock screen.
• Remember: Talkalike does not use end-to-end encryption, and the person you talk to can see and (outside view-once media) keep what you send. Only share what you are comfortable sharing.
• If you are in danger, contact the emergency services (999 in the UK, 112 in the EU).
