Terms of use

1. Who we are

The Human Behind is a service operated by AIGiner S.L., with registered address at Gran Via de Carles III, 98 · 08028 Barcelona · España. You can contact us at hello@thehumanbehind.com.

2. What this service is — and what it is not

The Human Behind is a public registry of self-declarations about digital identities created with artificial intelligence (avatars, voice clones, agents and similar). It lets a person put on record, with a certain date, that an avatar is theirs and that they take responsibility for it. Basic registration (the green Registered seal) is free; identity verification (the gold Verified seal) will be a paid service from September 2026.

The Human Behind is a private initiative. It is not an official or government registry, it is not affiliated with, endorsed or approved by the European Union or any public authority, and registering here does not, by itself, constitute or replace compliance with any legal obligation. What the registry gives you is dated, public, tamper-evident proof of who declared responsibility for an AI identity — a tool that can help you demonstrate transparency, not a certificate of legal compliance.

3. Your account

• You must provide accurate information when creating your account and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your access credentials safe and for all activity under your account.
• One account belongs to one person (or one legal entity acting through an authorised representative).

4. Self-declaration under your responsibility

Each record is a responsible declaration made by you. By registering you affirm that the data provided is truthful and that you have the right to declare yourself responsible for the registered avatar. The Human Behind attests to the date and content of the record through a cryptographic hash, but does not verify the truthfulness of self-declarations at the free level. Responsibility for the declared content lies with whoever registers it.

5. Acceptable use

• Do not register identities you have no right or authorisation over.
• Do not impersonate third parties or provide false or misleading data.
• Do not use the service for unlawful purposes or to infringe others' rights.
• Do not attempt to interfere with the integrity or availability of the registry.

We may suspend or unpublish records that breach these terms or applicable law, without prejudice to any further action. How unpublishing works is described in the database policy.

6. Public content of the registry

A record's data (avatar name, type, scope, where it operates, responsible person's name, registration number and date, and its cryptographic hash) is public and can be consulted by anyone, including through the public API. The responsible person's email address is never published. By registering you accept the publication of that data.

7. Date and hash are immutable

The registration date and the content hash of a record are generated at the moment of registration and cannot be altered afterwards — not by you, and not by our administrators. This immutability is what makes the registry useful as evidence of priority. The details are in the database policy and on the security page.

8. Verification and payments

Identity verification (the gold Verified seal) will be offered as a paid service from September 2026, for a few euros. The identity check is carried out by an external identity provider (Stripe Identity is the planned provider); The Human Behind never stores your identity document — we keep only the result of the check (verified yes/no), its date and a session reference. The exact conditions and price will be shown before you pay.

9. Using the seal

While your record is active you may display its seal and link to your public record page. You must use each seal truthfully: the free level is Registered and must never be presented as "verified", and no seal may be presented as an official certification, government approval or endorsement by any public authority. Detailed rules are in the intellectual property policy.

10. Unpublishing and record-keeping

You can ask to unpublish a record at any time. Because the registry's value lies in its historical integrity, unpublishing is a soft removal: the record's page stops showing its data and instead returns a minimal notice that a record existed at that address and was unpublished. Registration numbers are never reused. See the database policy for the full mechanics and the privacy policy for your data protection rights.

11. Intellectual property

The Human Behind brand, fingerprint logo, seals, design and software belong to AIGiner S.L.. The data you provide remains yours; you grant us only what is strictly necessary to publish and operate it in the registry under these terms. See the intellectual property policy.

12. Availability and changes to the service

The service is provided "as is" and evolves over time. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. If we make changes that materially affect your records, we will give reasonable notice through the email address on your account.

13. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, AIGiner S.L. is not liable for the accuracy of third parties' self-declarations, nor for damages arising from other users' use of the registry. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including consumer rights.

14. Claims and complaints

If you find a record that impersonates you or infringes your rights, you can claim it or report it — the process is described in claiming a record — or write to legal@thehumanbehind.com. We review every claim and may suspend a record while a dispute is examined.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by Spanish and European Union law. Any dispute will be submitted to the courts of Barcelona (Spain), without prejudice to the mandatory consumer protection rules of your place of residence.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We will publish the current version on this page with its update date and, for material changes, notify registered users in advance.
