Responsible use

Documentation · License

Short version: this software is a neutral tool. What you feed it and what you do with the result is entirely your responsibility. Some of its features can build a LoRA of a real, identifiable person — doing that without that person's consent may be illegal where you live, and is explicitly outside the intended use of this project.

This section is not legal advice. Laws differ by country, state, and platform, and they change. If you are unsure whether a particular use is lawful, consult a qualified lawyer before proceeding — not this document.

LoRA Dataset Studio is intended for building datasets from imagery you have the right to use, specifically:

• Yourself, or
• Synthetic / AI-generated people who do not exist (the demo person shown in the documentation is one such synthetic identity), or
• Real adults who have given you explicit, informed consent to train and generate their likeness.

Any other use — in particular training a look-alike model of a real person from photos scraped, downloaded, or otherwise obtained without their consent — is not a use this project endorses or supports.

Because the app runs entirely on your machine, under your control, you are the data controller and the sole party responsible for every dataset you build and every image you generate. That includes ensuring you have the necessary rights and that your use complies with all applicable law, which may include (non-exhaustively):

• Likeness, publicity & personality rights — many jurisdictions give people control over the commercial and non-commercial use of their face, name, and likeness.
• Biometric-data law — a face-recognition/similarity model of an identifiable person can constitute biometric personal data under regimes such as the EU/UK GDPR, Illinois BIPA, and similar state and national statutes, with consent and disclosure obligations attached.
• Non-consensual intimate imagery & deepfake statutes — a growing number of countries and U.S. states criminalize creating or sharing sexual or intimate deepfakes of real people without consent. Do not use this tool to make them.
• Child protection law — generating sexual or exploitative imagery of minors, real or synthetic, is a serious crime effectively everywhere. This is an absolute prohibition, without exception.
• Copyright & platform terms — source images may themselves be copyrighted, and scraping may violate a site's terms of service. The built-in scraper is a convenience for collecting material you are entitled to use; respect each site's terms, robots directives, rate limits, and the copyright of the images you download.

Do not use this software to:

• Create a model or imagery of any real person without their consent;
• Produce sexual, intimate, defamatory, harassing, or misleading content depicting a real person without consent;
• Produce any sexual or exploitative content involving minors, real or synthetic;
• Impersonate a real person or organization, commit fraud, or otherwise deceive;
• Violate the terms of service, copyright, or rate limits of any site the scraper touches.

This software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement (see the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0 for the full terms). As far as the law allows, the licensor accepts no liability for damages — including any legal consequence arising from datasets, models, or images you create with it. By using this software you accept that responsibility yourself.
