Allowed and prohibited use for PaperFig prompts, uploads, generated images, and exports
2026/06/18
This Acceptable Use Policy explains how PaperFig may be used for prompts, uploads, generated images, figure editing, exports, and related scientific communication workflows. It applies in addition to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
PaperFig is intended for lawful research, education, presentation, publication, and academic figure workflows. You are responsible for the content you submit and for reviewing every AI-generated output before using it.
You may use PaperFig to create and refine biomedical mechanism figures, pathway diagrams, graphical abstracts, labels, and related research visuals when you have the rights and permissions needed to process the materials.
You may submit prompts, images, PDFs, sketches, reference materials, labels, and editing instructions only when the materials can lawfully be processed by PaperFig and by the third-party services used to provide the product.
You may not request, upload, generate, edit, enhance, export, distribute, or attempt to create NSFW, adult, pornographic, sexually explicit, sexually suggestive, deepfake, face-swap, face-manipulation, illegal, infringing, harmful, exploitative, abusive, hateful, harassing, non-consensual, privacy-violating, or deceptive content.
You may not use PaperFig to impersonate another person, manipulate a person's identity or face without consent, create misleading scientific evidence, evade safety checks, bypass credit or payment controls, distribute malware, violate another party's rights, or process materials that you are not authorized to use.
Do not upload patient privacy data, PHI, health identifiers, sensitive personal information, human-subject data, confidential research, unpublished materials that cannot be shared with AI services, trade secrets, proprietary datasets, grant-review materials, or third-party copyrighted content without permission.
PaperFig currently processes prompts, uploads, and generated outputs with third-party services, including an Evolink-compatible API gateway, Google Gemini image model families, OpenAI-compatible models, and the Creem Moderation API.
Automated and manual safety checks are not perfect. Passing a safety check does not mean an output is scientifically accurate, legally cleared, or approved for publication. You remain responsible for reviewing, verifying, correcting, and approving all generated figures and labels.
PaperFig may block prompts, refuse generation, limit exports, suspend access, remove content, or contact support when use appears to violate this policy, the Terms of Service, law, third-party rights, research ethics, journal policies, or safety requirements.
