What is inside
Built for the work, not the feed.
Marketing managers, agency owners, editors and content leads who have been asked to write the AI policy by Friday.
The human review standard
Author of record, every sentence read, every fact checked against a source a person opened, the name logged. Written so it can actually be followed on a busy Thursday.
Confidentiality that names the rule
If you would not paste it into a public web form, do not paste it into an AI tool. Approved tools, required settings, what to anonymise, what to report.
Disclosure you can keep
To readers, to clients, internally. Rules based on what the reader would want to know, not on "how much" AI was used, because nobody measures that.
Freelancer contract language
A clause your lawyer can adapt, plus the acknowledgement form everyone signs.
The client-facing statement
A short and a long version of how you use AI, ready to share at the start of an engagement or publish on your site.
Look inside
These are the actual pages you get.
Screenshots are taken from the file itself, not a mock-up. What you see here is what lands in your inbox.
How to use it
Three steps, then it is yours.
- 1Read the Balanced setting in each clause first. Keep it unless your situation says otherwise.
- 2Fill every [bracket], delete the guidance boxes and the settings you did not choose.
- 3Have a lawyer read it, collect the acknowledgements, share the client statement.
Questions
Before you download
01Is this legal advice?
No. It is a template for editorial teams, written to be adapted and reviewed by a lawyer. AI law is changing by the quarter and differs by country.
02Why three settings per clause?
Because the right policy for a regulated industry is wrong for a solo blog. Seeing all three in full sentences makes the choice concrete instead of abstract.
03How is this different from the AI rules in the style guide template?
The style guide carries the writer-facing rules. This is the full policy: confidentiality, legal, contracts, records, breaches. Use both; they are written to match.
