What we protect creators, professionals, and public figures from
Photo theft on impersonator accounts
Scammers steal your headshots and profile pictures to build fake accounts that look exactly like you.
AI deepfakes using your face or voice
AI can generate video and audio of you saying things you never said — often used in extortion and investment scams.
Reputation attacks on scam-report sites
Malicious actors post fake complaints designed to rank in Google searches for your name.

FAQ
Can you actually detect AI deepfakes of me?
The subscriber Deepfake Photo Check reviews uploaded still images for visible AI-generation and manipulation signs. It reports what it sees and flags uncertainty instead of claiming certainty.
What if my photos are already all over the web?
We baseline what our monitoring sees from your registered handles, then alert only on NEW impersonations so you're not flooded with historical noise.
Is this free?
Image checks and Image Protection Cases are included with Platinum, Talent Manager and Government Office plans. Free accounts keep on-demand scam scans and community alerts.
Can you take content down?
GACS prepares evidence packs and platform-specific reporting drafts for you or your authorised representative to review and submit, then tracks the response and outcome.

How we integrate with your online image
The Deepfake Photo Check uses AI vision analysis to review uploaded photos for AI-generation and manipulation signatures — it never stores your uploads. Shield monitoring watches public social and web mentions for impersonations of your registered name and handles. Optionally connect Instagram, TikTok, X, or YouTube (read-only) inside your Shield to unlock deeper scans.
