AI video generator privacy comes down to four questions: what the app collects, who processes your photos and prompts, how long they are kept, and who owns the finished video. Reading the privacy policy and terms before you upload a face is the single best habit. VIBE is an AI video generator app that lets you create stunning videos from text prompts or images using the latest AI models like Kling, Sora, and Veo.

This guide explains in plain words what VIBE's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service say about uploaded photos, prompts, generated videos, deletion, moderation and commercial use. Every statement below is taken from those two documents, and the policy itself is always the final word.

How Does AI Video Generator Privacy Work in VIBE?

AI video generator privacy in VIBE works on a simple rule: your prompt and any uploaded image go only to the AI model provider needed to make the video you requested. Nothing else receives your uploaded images.

According to the Privacy Policy, VIBE processes these categories of information:

  • Account information: your email address and display name.
  • Text prompts: the descriptions you type to generate videos.
  • Uploaded images: photos used as input for image-to-video, including photos that contain faces.
  • Generated videos: the clips created for you, stored in your account.
  • Usage and device data: features used, device type and crash reports collected through analytics tools.
  • Payment data: handled by the Apple App Store, Google Play and the subscription provider, so VIBE does not store credit card details.

The policy states that personal data is never sold. If you want to see how the app works before you upload anything, start with a text prompt in the Text to Video section, which needs no personal photo at all.

Is an AI Video Generator App Safe to Use With My Photos?

An AI video generator app is as safe as its stated data practices, so check the rules for uploads first. VIBE's policy sets out five protections for uploaded photos.

  1. Limited sharing: uploaded images are sent only to the AI model API that generates your video, and not to advertisers or data brokers.
  2. No training: uploaded images and faces are not used to train VIBE's or third-party AI models.
  3. No face recognition: VIBE does not identify people across photos, build face templates or keep a database of faces.
  4. Time limit: uploaded images are stored for a maximum of 90 days and then deleted automatically.
  5. Manual deletion: you can delete an uploaded image yourself at any time inside the app.

Some models, for example those that animate a portrait or create a talking presenter, read facial features inside the photo only to produce the video you asked for. If you do not want a face processed, simply do not upload that photo. You also confirm that you have permission from any person whose face appears in an image you upload.

What Happens to My Prompts and Videos After I Generate Them?

Your prompts and generated videos stay in your account until you delete them or delete the account. The policy explains that text prompts are stored next to the videos so you can re-run or reference them later.

The retention rules in the Privacy Policy are:

  • Uploaded images: a maximum of 90 days, then automatic deletion.
  • Generated videos: kept in your account until you remove them.
  • Text prompts: stored with the matching videos.
  • Account data: kept while the account is active.
  • Logs and analytics: kept for limited periods, then deleted or anonymized.
  • Legal records: some data, such as payment records for tax, can be kept longer if the law requires it.

This is also the answer to a common search: which free AI video generators come with cloud storage? In VIBE your generated videos are saved in your account, so you can view, re-download and share them again, and the free plan is described in AI video maker free: what you get.

Which Third Parties Receive My Data When I Make an AI Video?

Only the AI model provider behind the model you choose receives your prompt and image, plus a small group of service providers for analytics, advertising measurement and payments. The Privacy Policy lists these categories openly.

  • AI model providers: your prompt and any uploaded image go only to the provider of the model you pick, such as the companies behind Kling, Veo, Sora, Seedance or WAN.
  • Analytics and crash reporting: tools that measure website traffic, performance and app crashes.
  • Advertising and attribution: services that measure ad performance and install sources, plus ads shown in the free version of the app.
  • Payments: the app stores and a subscription manager that process purchases.

Because VIBE gives access to many models, the model you pick decides which provider handles that request. The overview in AI video generation models explained shows how the models differ. The policy also notes that data can be processed in other countries, including the United States, and that contractual safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses are used where required.

Are There Any Free AI Video Platforms Suitable for Commercial Use?

Yes, free AI video platforms can be used commercially if their terms grant you the right, and VIBE's terms do. The Terms of Service state that you receive a license to use, share and distribute your generated videos for personal and commercial purposes, subject to the Terms and your subscription plan.

Three details matter before you publish a video as a business:

  • You keep your inputs: you retain ownership of the original text prompts and images you provide.
  • VIBE claims no ownership: the license you give VIBE only covers processing your inputs to generate the video.
  • You review the output: the terms say AI models can produce errors, biases or unintended similarities to existing works, and you are responsible for checking a video before you use it.

Plans differ in more than price. The Terms explain that free plans may limit generations, models and video quality and may show ads, while paid Pro plans raise the limits and remove ads. If you plan to use videos in client work, read AI video ad generator for product ads for a safe workflow.

What Content Is Blocked, and How Does AI Video Moderation Work?

VIBE blocks prohibited content with automated safety filters on both your inputs and the generated videos. The Terms explain that prompts and images may be analyzed before processing, and flagged prompts can be rejected.

The Terms prohibit content that:

  • depicts or promotes child sexual abuse material,
  • shows non-consensual intimate content or deepfakes of real people,
  • promotes terrorism, violent extremism or graphic violence,
  • targets people with hate or harassment,
  • impersonates real people for fraud, defamation or misinformation,
  • infringes copyrights, trademarks or other intellectual property,
  • supports illegal activity, spam, phishing or malware,
  • aims to manipulate elections.

Repeated attempts to bypass the filters can lead to suspension or termination, and the Terms add that no moderation system is perfect. If a legitimate video is blocked by mistake, you can contact VIBE for a review. Questionable content you find can be reported to the support email listed in the Terms.

How Do I Delete My Photos, Videos and Account?

You delete a photo from inside the app at any time, and you delete everything by deleting your account. The Privacy Policy states that account deletion removes your profile, uploaded images, text prompts and every generated video, and that it cannot be undone.

  1. Delete single items: remove an uploaded image or a generated video from inside the app.
  2. Delete the account: use the in-app option, or email the support address in the policy.
  3. Wait for completion: deletion is completed within 30 days, except for records the law requires VIBE to keep.
  4. Check the providers: AI model providers that already processed an input follow their own retention schedules, described in their own policies.

Depending on where you live, such as the EU, the UK or California, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete or export your personal data. The policy says requests sent to the support email are answered within 30 days.

How Can I Use AI Videos Responsibly on Social Platforms?

Label realistic AI videos and never present generated people or events as real footage. Platforms increasingly ask for this: YouTube's help centre says creators must disclose realistic content that is generated or meaningfully altered with AI, for example a realistic scene that never happened or a real person made to say something they did not say. You can read the rules in the YouTube help page on altered or synthetic content.

A simple responsible-use checklist:

  • Get permission before animating a photo of another person.
  • Do not make videos that could mislead viewers about real events.
  • Use the platform's AI disclosure option when a clip looks realistic.
  • Check names, numbers and claims yourself before posting.
  • Keep your account secure and delete test uploads you no longer need.
