AI learns from everything. PlenaProof records whether you said it could.
Models are trained on work, data, voices, and faces — usually without a dated record of permission or refusal. PlenaProof does not stop the training and does not litigate it. PlenaProof gives you one thing the current system does not: a clear, dated, checkable record of what you permitted, what you refused, and on what terms — created before the question is contested.
Copyright tells you who owns a work. Data-protection law gives you rights over personal data. Neither produces a portable, timestamped artifact that says "the person who could consent did, or did not, and here are the terms" — in a form a publisher, a model developer, a regulator, or a court can inspect later. That artifact is what is missing, and it is what PlenaProof records.
A creator, an institution holding others' data under a duty, or a person whose likeness has value can prepare a Training & Likeness Consent Receipt: the work or data or likeness described; the parties; the permission granted or refused; the terms (commercial, attribution, time-limited, revocable); and a timestamp. The receipt is preserved and independently checkable.
The PLENA six-part grammar, applied to training and likeness consent.
The rights-holder or duty-bearer preparing the record.
Named, with authority to do so.
The request to train, license, or scrape, where one exists.
Scope, duration, revocability, attribution.
The dated record, routed to durable storage.
A public-safe verification of the receipt's structure.
Writers, artists, musicians, photographers, and developers who want a refusal-to-train receipt dated before a scrape.
Universities, archives, hospitals, and publishers that hold other people's work or data under a duty and must show they honored or withheld consent.
Those protecting voice and likeness — where the asset is their identity itself.
Does not replace — copyright law, GDPR/RGPD data rights, the EU AI Act, or licensing marketplaces.
Complements — those instruments, by adding the dated consent-or-refusal record they assume but do not produce.
Owns — the timestamped training-and-likeness consent/refusal receipt and its terms.
Rule — PlenaProof records the consent; it does not enforce it.
Pairs with ORIGINA (priority proof of authorship), PLENA CONSERVA (preservation), the PlenaProof Vault (lifetime archive), and issues a VRX-5 AI-era trust receipt. Public verification at Public Verify. In preparation.
