You keep ownership of everything you upload; giving it to a twin grants the platform a limited permission to use it for that twin, nothing more. Your audience's conversations with your twin are theirs to have and yours to see in normal mode, under the platform's privacy terms. The one firm rule: train your twin only on material you own or have the right to use, never on other people's work.
Your material stays yours
Uploading a manuscript or a set of talks to build a twin does not transfer copyright. You are granting the platform a licence to store the material and use it to answer questions put to your twin. That licence ends when you remove the material or delete the twin. On AccessMe, your training content and your audience's conversations belong to you, are never used to train models for other creators or third parties, and can be exported or deleted from your dashboard. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy say so.
Why context-only matters for ownership
If a platform trained a model on your work, your work would be diffused into something the platform owns and could not give back. Because a twin uses your material as context instead, there is a clean line: the material is a file in your account that answers your twin's questions, and it can be handed back or erased. See Context versus training.
The twin's answers
A twin's answers are generated from your material in your voice. Different jurisdictions treat AI-generated text differently, and the law is still settling, so we will not pretend to a certainty nobody has. Practically: the answers are a representation of your point of view, every twin page says they come from an AI trained on your content, and you can read the ones shared in normal mode. If you plan to republish twin answers as your own writing, read them first as you would a draft from an assistant.
Your audience's side
The people who talk with your twin are sharing their own words. They choose, on paid plans, whether a conversation is in normal mode (you can read it and follow up) or private mode (not even you can read it). Their conversations are handled under the platform's privacy policy, and you should treat what you read in normal mode with the same care you would give a letter sent to you.
The rule that is not negotiable
Train your twin only on material you own or have the right to use. Not another author's book you admire, not course material licensed to your institution, not a colleague's slides, not your clients' documents. A twin is a representation of your point of view; building it on someone else's work is both a copyright problem and a misrepresentation. If a passage is not yours, leave it out and write your own take instead.
Co-authored and employer-owned work
Material you wrote with a co-author, or created as an employee, may belong partly or wholly to someone else. Check before uploading. When in doubt, your own written answers to the questions people ask you are always yours and are the best training material anyway.
Common questions
Does AccessMe own my uploaded content?
No. You keep ownership. AccessMe holds a limited permission to use the material for your twin, which ends when you remove it or delete the twin.
Can I train my twin on books by other authors that shaped my thinking?
No. Train your twin only on material you own or have the right to use. Write out your own take on what those books taught you and upload that instead.
Who owns what my audience says to my twin?
Their words are theirs, handled under the Privacy Policy. In normal mode you can read the conversation and follow up; in private mode not even you can read it.
