How Digital TwinSets™ are stored, licenced and tracked.
The Vault is the secure, private part of the Digital TwinSets™ platform, where talent asset packs are stored and managed. Every release requires the appropriate consent and agency authorisation, with a clear record of what has been licensed, to whom and for how long.
How each asset pack is managed
-
Held privately
Asset packs are held in private, encrypted storage, with no public access or browsing. Each agency's assets are stored separately, with access restricted by role and additional verification at login.
-
Consent and approval
Each talent's signed consent is securely recorded, and every proposed use requires their approval before release. Talent can request withdrawal, placing their assets on hold and preventing new deliveries whilst the request is handled.
-
Agency authorisation
Asset packs are released only for agreed projects authorised by the representing agency. Each approval is recorded, including who authorised the release and when. Bookings, negotiations and fees remain with the agency.
-
Delivered to named people
Assets are delivered to named individuals, not general company accounts. Each recipient verifies their email, accepts the licence terms and receives a secure, single-use download link that expires after a defined period.
-
Marked and traceable
Each delivery carries a unique licence reference and identifying information to help trace its origin. Photographs are invisibly watermarked to identify the individual delivery, with C2PA Content Credentials applied where supported.
-
Recorded as it happens
Every approval, delivery and download is recorded in a tamper-evident audit trail, identifying who received which files, under which licence and when.
What leaves the Vault
What's inside a Digital TwinSet™?
Each Digital TwinSet™ is a comprehensive reference pack of real talent, prepared for AI-assisted production.
It includes detailed and high-quality reference images, detailed physical and identity profiles covering measurements, proportions and distinguishing features, alongside movement footage and voice recordings where applicable.
These assets provide production teams with detailed, consistent source material whilst remaining subject to the talent's consent and agreed licensing terms.
Where a project requires additional material or support, this can be arranged through the representing agency.
When a licence ends
Expiry and deletion
Every licence is specific to an agreed project, defining the permitted media, territories and duration, with a clear expiry date. Any extension or additional use requires further approval.
When a licence expires, the client must stop using the Digital TwinSet™ assets and delete all downloaded files, copies and digital twins created from them, in accordance with the licence terms.
Clients must provide confirmation of deletion, which is retained as part of the licence's audit trail.
If something goes wrong
What the record can show
If unauthorised use of a talent's likeness is suspected, the Vault provides a record of:
- What was authorised: the project, permitted media, territories, duration and licence terms accepted by each recipient.
- Who approved it: the talent's consent and the agency's authorisation, including when approval was given.
- What was released: the specific files and versions delivered under each licence.
- Who received it: the named recipients and when each download took place.
- What happened afterwards: any licence extensions, amendments and recorded confirmations of deletion.
Where an identifiable watermark can be recovered from a delivered photograph, it can help establish which delivery the file originated from.
Records can be exported for individual licences or a talent's complete licensing history, providing supporting evidence in the event of a dispute or suspected misuse.
Limits
What the record cannot show
Once assets have been downloaded, their use is governed by the agreed licence terms. The Vault cannot prevent further copying or independently verify that every file has been deleted.
Watermarks and Content Credentials can help establish the origin of delivered files, but cannot reliably identify AI-generated content created from an asset pack.
The audit trail cannot, on its own, prove that a particular image or video was generated using a Digital TwinSet™. However, it provides a documented record of consent, licensing, access and delivery that can support investigations into suspected unauthorised use.
We believe we've taken every reasonable step to protect talent and their likeness using the technology currently available. We continue to review emerging technologies and developments in digital security, traceability and content verification, with the aim of strengthening these protections as new solutions become available.
