Influencers and creators.
Followings in the high five to seven figures. Brand deals as part of revenue, often in murky contracts with unclear likeness clauses.

Public Figures
When your face is already public,
protection becomes infrastructure.
FaceLedger Verified is a separate, curated track. By invitation. Personal onboarding. Terms are negotiated, not algorithmically set. You stay in control. FaceLedger provides the infrastructure around it.
For whom
People with public identities.
Public Figures is for people whose face already circulates in public, through profession, reach, or recognition. Not because other FaceLedger users are worth less, but because you have different requirements.
Actors and actresses.
Stage, film, streaming. Likeness rights are part of your profession, and exactly therefore a recurring point of conflict with productions.
Athletes.
Sponsorship contracts, federation clauses, career phases of varying visibility. Standard terms rarely fit.
Public figures.
Political, cultural, academic. Known enough that your likeness appears in advertising without consent. Lawsuits are expensive, slow, reactive.
What's different
Three things that separate Verified from Standard.
01
Personal onboarding.
Instead of a self-service flow, there's a direct conversation, with you or your management. Terms, minimum floor, payout model, and contract clauses are discussed before you upload the first dataset.
02
Own pool. Own floor.
Public Figures appear in a separate search section. You or your management set the terms, and requests below your threshold don't reach you.
03
A negotiated price.
The licence price is agreed with you individually instead of coming from the calculator, and is usually substantially higher. The split is the same for everyone, 65 % goes to you.
Protection in development
What we're building to protect you better.
These tools are in development. We don't promise a date, but they're part of the roadmap. Once available, they're free for Public Figures.
Detection.
Automated search for whether your face appears in unauthorized ads, social media, or AI-generated content. Reverse image search engine plus crawler over advertising inventory.
Takedown pipeline.
Pre-built cease-and-desist, DMCA notices, provider-specific reports. One click from the detection alert.
AI training opt-out registry.
Standardized "do-not-train" signal in every license contract plus a public registry against AI trainers.
No promised dates. No marketing of features we can't deliver. If you sign up, you have the current state, and you'll be informed when something goes live.
Onboarding
How onboarding works.
Three phases, individually paced. No fixed wait times, but typically 1 to 3 weeks from first contact to live dataset.
- 01
First contact.
Email to verified@faceledger.ai or via your management. We respond within 3 business days, schedule a call (video, ~30 min).
- 02
Terms workshop.
We discuss which industries and channels make sense, define your minimum floor, clarify representation modalities (company, management), and payout mechanics.
- 03
Onboarding & live.
Identity verification, photo session (with your preferred photographer if desired), FL review. Dataset goes live in the Verified pool.
Beta phase
Intake is limited.
We're currently working closely with selected public figures during the beta phase. If you feel addressed, or your management does, write to us with a few key facts.
