Editor Human-Only Editing and Confidentiality Agreement

This policy records the mandatory conduct, review process, and payout conditions for every editor before document access is allowed.

Keep documents confidential

01

Do not share, republish, discuss, or use customer material for any purpose outside the accepted assignment.

Human-only editing

02

Complete the edit personally. Do not generate, rewrite, paraphrase, translate, summarize, correct, or analyze customer content with generative AI, automated rewriting systems, AI-assisted grammar tools, or external writing-analysis services. Only a cIAo-approved, contractually controlled workflow may be used when cIAo gives written assignment-specific permission.

Submission declaration

03

Every submission requires a truthful declaration that the editor completed the work manually and did not upload customer content to a personal or unapproved external AI service. An expressly enabled, assignment-specific cIAo-controlled checker is the only narrow exception. A false declaration is a material policy breach.

Flag, quarantine, and human review

04

A reviewer may flag concrete signs of prohibited AI use. The flagged submission is immediately quarantined, is not a valid customer document, and cannot be paid while the flag is open. A human administrator reviews the underlying evidence; an automated detector score alone is not treated as proof.

Confirmed violation

05

If a human administrator confirms prohibited AI use, the submission remains invalid, unpaid earnings for that assignment are void, editor eligibility is suspended, and cIAo may reassign, cancel, or refund the customer order. The evidence and decision are retained in the audit record.

Cleared concern

06

If the evidence does not establish prohibited AI use, the flag is cleared, the submission returns to human quality review, and no violation sanction is applied.

No subcontracting or off-platform contact

07

Complete the work personally and keep all communication inside cIAo.

Preserve meaning and report risk

08

Preserve the writer’s intended meaning, follow instructions, and escalate conflicts, specialist needs, or concerning content.

Delete local copies

09

Remove temporary local copies after submission or immediately when access is revoked, and confirm completion manually.
