Our Use of AI

Last updated: November 11, 2026

Effective from app version 26.11.11 onwards. We make this version available to all users through the App Store and Google Play as soon as it is released, and you will be asked to review and accept the updated policies the next time you open the app after updating.

This statement adds an optional AI flyer and poster generator. An earlier version added the automated content-moderation safety check described below.

MotoClubHub uses AI in two ways that affect your content: an automated safety check on images and PDF attachments you share, and an optional flyer and poster generator for your meet-ups. For how we handle your data generally, see our Privacy Policy; for the content rules, see our Terms and Conditions and our Child Safety Standards Policy.

The safety check

We only send an item to Google's AI where you have given permission in the app. If you give permission, we send the image or PDF to a Google Gemini model on Google's Vertex AI to be scored for content that breaks our rules. This covers images you share in areas such as meet ups, clubs, business listings, routes (Spins), motorcycle schools and sponsor offers, and your profile and cover photos, and PDF attachments in the meet-up flyer, business and motorcycle-school areas. If you decline permission, the item is not sent to Google and that upload is cancelled. If you are using an older app version that does not yet include the permission step, the item is not sent to Google, and our existing reporting and human moderation apply. We rely on our legitimate interests to run this check, as set out under "Your data" below.

The check scores the item for content such as adult or sexual material, violence, hate, self-harm and child sexual abuse material. It is not used to identify you or to build a profile of you, and it does not scan the messages or other text you type in the app.

For uploads submitted to the AI safety check, we run the check before publication to help detect content that breaks our rules. If the check is clear, your item is posted as usual. If the result is borderline, we ask you to confirm before it is posted, and if you decline it is not posted. If the check flags your item as breaking our rules, it is not posted. Blocking an upload this way is automated, and automated checks can make mistakes. If the check cannot be completed, your item is not posted and you can try again.

If the automated check blocks your item for a likely breach of our rules, we tell you. If the check cannot be completed, we explain that instead. If you think that was wrong, you can contact us. This check happens before your content is posted, and it adds to, and does not replace, the user reporting and human review in our Terms and Conditions and our Child Safety Standards Policy, which still apply to content once it is posted. Suspected child sexual abuse material is handled under our Child Safety Standards Policy, and a person decides whether to report it to the authorities.

Your data

For the check we send the item to Google to be scored; for a PDF we send the file and Google reads its text and images. We do not use your content to train AI models, and we do not permit Google to use it for model training. Google may retain inputs it flags for suspected misuse of its service for up to 90 days to investigate abuse, and authorised Google staff may review them. The check uses Google's global endpoint, so items may be processed outside the EU and EEA.

We keep routine records of these checks for 90 days. We also keep counts of borderline and flagged uploads against your account; these counts are deleted after 90 days without another borderline or flagged upload. Where a posted item is reported and then reviewed or restricted, we keep the decision, the minimum evidence needed, and any copy we are required to preserve, until the review is complete and the appeal period has ended; you can appeal a restriction or removal within six months of our notice. If a review or appeal remains open, we keep those records until it is resolved. Suspected child sexual abuse material is preserved separately under our Child Safety Standards Policy, not on this schedule. These moderation records are separate from how long we keep your published images and PDFs, which our Privacy Policy explains. We do not use information from these features for advertising or profiling.

We rely on our legitimate interests in protecting users and enforcing our content rules as the lawful basis for this safety check. You can object to this processing for reasons relating to your particular situation by contacting us. Our Privacy Policy explains your rights, who receives your data, and any international transfers.

The flyer and poster generator

MotoClubHub includes an optional AI flyer and poster generator for your meet-ups. You start it, and it uses the meet-up details you have entered to create a flyer image and a printable PDF.

When you run it, we send the meet-up name, the event type and the description to a Google Gemini model on Google's Vertex AI, which creates the artwork. We do not send the date, time or location to Google; those are added by MotoClubHub afterwards. We do not accept or send any photo you supply, because the generator works from text only.

The result is an image and a matching PDF, both clearly labelled as AI-generated, and each carries a SynthID digital watermark that marks it as AI-generated. We store the result in our systems and check it with the same content-safety scan we apply to the other images you share. You choose whether to attach the flyer to your meet-up and publish it. If you do not, it is not shown to anyone.

We handle the details you send to the generator the same way as the safety check, set out under "Your data" above: we do not use them to train AI models and do not permit Google to, Google's global endpoint may process them outside the EU and EEA, and Google may keep inputs it flags for suspected misuse for up to 90 days. We rely on providing the feature you asked for as the lawful basis.

Where else

Beyond these two features, we do not use AI to profile or score you, to make recommendations, or to decide anything about your content or account without a person, and there is no AI chatbot. We also use AI as a tool to help build and translate the app.
