Trust & security
Security

Review Civitai's content policy before accessing the platform. Adult content is gated behind age verification. Model licences vary — review the specific licence for each downloaded model.

Images on Basic and Standard plans are visible in the public member gallery. Pro and Mega plans include Stealth Mode for private generation.

Privacy notes

Review individual model licences before commercial use. Some models have non-commercial or restricted licences. Civitai hosts varied content including adult material — review platform policies.

Images created on Basic and Standard plans appear in the public gallery unless Stealth Mode (Pro+) is active. Review before generating client or proprietary work.
