Your likeness, permissions and consent
For creators setting up My AI — the nine permissions, the consent EVVA needs before anything can generate as you, and what switching one off does not undo.
Nothing generates as you until three separate things are true: you have given EVVA a consent, you have registered at least one reference file, and the Use your likeness permission is on. All nine permissions start off on every account, including your own.
Find all of this on My AI → Studio, under Your likeness model and What EVVA may do.
The nine permissions
Each is a single toggle, and each takes effect from the moment it saves.
Switch on only what you actually want. Each toggle is read at the moment of a generation, so a permission you leave off is one fewer thing EVVA can do in your name.
Two rules about the order you switch them on
A narrower permission cannot stand without the broader one it depends on, and EVVA refuses rather than silently accepting a combination it cannot honour:
- Your likeness in adult content without Use your likeness is refused: “Adult use of your likeness requires that likeness use is permitted at all.”
- On the consent side, the same logic gives “Adult use requires generation use.”, “Training use requires generation use.”, “Voice use requires generation use.” and “Voice cloning requires voice use.”
The consent EVVA asks for
Permissions are settings on your account. A consent is the separate record that you agreed, and EVVA will not register a reference without one: until you give it, the Add photo tile is disabled and reads “EVVA needs a live consent on file before a reference can be registered.”
Give it with the button Allow EVVA to use my likeness.
That button grants two things only: generated pictures and generated voice. The screen states it plainly — “This covers pictures and voice, nothing else.”
Adult use, training and durable voice cloning are separate consents, each given on its own. Switching the matching toggle on is not enough by itself — until the consent for it is on file, EVVA records it as not consented and refuses that kind of generation.
Registering a reference
Record 60s registers a voice reference from your Vault: it opens the same picker, so upload the audio you want to use first.
A file you do not own cannot be registered — it is refused as if it were not there. A file of the wrong kind for the slot is refused too: a photo cannot be registered as a voice sample, or the other way round.
Why the likeness card says “Not ready”
The chip on Your likeness model has four states:
- Checking… — EVVA has not answered yet. Wait for it; do not read anything into it.
- Ready — all three of: at least one registered reference, Use your likeness on, and a live consent on file.
- Not ready — one of those three is missing. Work down the list above.
- Not known — EVVA did not give a readable answer. Reload the page before changing anything.
“Ready” is a statement about those three facts — a live consent, a registered reference, and the permission on. Work down the list whenever the chip says otherwise.
Switching one off, and taking a consent back
Turning a toggle off applies to the next generation onwards. In the panel’s own words: “Turning one off stops it from the next generation onwards; it does not unmake what already exists.”
Files already generated stay in your Vault, and anything you have already published stays published — turning a permission off does not withdraw or delete them. Delete what you no longer want, in the Vault.
A generation already sent to the provider is not stopped retroactively either: once a run has started it finishes, and it is charged.
Withdrawing a consent, or retiring a reference, always succeeds — including the second time you do it. EVVA answers the repeat as done rather than as a failure, on the principle that somebody taking their agreement back should never be told their attempt failed.
