Recording Rules
What you may and may not record
By recording, you agree to follow these rules. Breaking them can get your clip rejected and your account suspended.
Record only what you have the right to record
- Record in your own home or a private space you control. Don't record in someone else's home, or in public or shared places (stores, gyms, workplaces, restrooms, locker rooms, medical or childcare facilities) where other people are present.
- You are the subject — the camera should capture your own hands and the task in front of you.
Other people
- Don't record other people. If someone else might appear in the frame, get their clear permission first — and never record anyone who hasn't agreed.
- Never record children or anyone under 18, even with permission.
- If you record someone and they later object, tell us and we'll remove the clip.
Keep private and sensitive things out of frame
- No screens showing private content (messages, email, banking, passwords).
- No documents with personal information (IDs, mail, financial or medical paperwork — anything with names, addresses, or account numbers).
- No faces of other people, name tags, or anything that identifies someone who isn't you.
Never record
- Nudity or sexual content.
- Violence, dangerous, or illegal activity.
- Hateful, harassing, or abusive content.
- Anything that infringes someone else's rights (for example, filming copyrighted TV or films as the subject of the task).
You're responsible
You confirm you have the right to share everything in your clip and that it follows these rules. You grant Human Archive the license in the Contributor Terms only for content you're allowed to share.
Voice tasks
These Recording Rules cover video capture. Voice Exchange — the optional language assessment and live two-party voice conversations — records your voice as biometric data and has its own rules; see the Voice Contributor Rules.
We review submissions and reject anything that breaks these rules. Serious or repeated violations end your account. Report a problem or request removal of a clip: team@humanarchive.ai.
