The problem
Generating a convincing deepfake takes less than a minute. Cloning a voice takes three seconds of audio. The tools are free, widely available, and improving every week. The damage they cause — harassment, fraud, defamation, coerced content — is not theoretical. It's happening right now, to real people, with almost no recourse.
The mismatch is stark. It takes seconds to steal an identity. It takes months — and often thousands of dollars — to remove the content. Most people don't have lawyers. They don't know which platform to contact, which law applies, or whether any of it will work. The system is broken in a way that only affects ordinary people, because everyone else has already paid their way around it.
The mission is simple: give every person sovereign ownership of their face and voice in a world where either can be stolen in seconds.
That means registration, monitoring, enforcement, and evidence — in one platform, accessible to anyone, not just those who can retain legal counsel. Not four vendors, not a detection alert with no follow-through. The complete lifecycle, from first biometric registration to final content removal.
Detection alone was never enough. Knowing your face appeared on 14 platforms in a deepfake is not protection — it's a notification. Protection means removal. And removal requires enforcement infrastructure that most people have never had access to. Veyon is that infrastructure.
Who built this
Alexander de Lorraine
Founder & CEO
The deepfake problem wasn't abstract. I watched people I knew — creators, public figures, private individuals — become victims of synthetic content with no practical way to respond. Not because the law didn't exist, but because the infrastructure didn't. Knowing your face is being misused and being able to do something about it are completely different problems.
The legal frameworks were arriving. GDPR gave Europeans the right to erasure. The TAKE IT DOWN Act gave Americans a route to enforcement. The EU AI Act established biometric data as a protected category. What didn't exist was the platform that actually executed on those rights — that turned legal protection into real removal, at scale, for people who couldn't afford to retain a law firm.
The framing I keep returning to is the patent office. We built that institution because society recognized that creators deserve durable, systemic protection — not just the theoretical right to sue. Your face and voice are more fundamental than a patent. They're the most irreplaceable things you own. The infrastructure to protect them should exist by default, not as a premium add-on for the famous.
That's what Veyon is. Not a detection tool. Not a monitoring dashboard. The institutional infrastructure for biometric identity rights — accessible to anyone who needs it.
LinkedInHow it works
Four things, in sequence. Most platforms stop at the first. Veyon does all four.
Biometric registration
Register your face and voice through our KYC-verified onboarding. A tamper-proof identity certificate is issued — cryptographic proof that this identity is yours, not synthetic.
AI monitoring across 700M+ photos
Continuous face and voice scanning across 25+ platforms, including adult content sites where deepfakes proliferate. Dual-engine AI flags matches — confidence score, platform, and screenshot included.
One-click legal takedowns
DMCA notices, GDPR Art. 17 erasure requests, and platform-specific submissions — drafted and dispatched automatically. 10 platforms, no legal knowledge required, no attorney fees.
DEIA-certified court-ready evidence
Every match, every takedown, every timeline event — compiled into a DEIA-certified evidence package that satisfies US, EU, and UK evidentiary standards. Ready for court the day you need it.
5 jurisdictions supported
Veyon's DEIA-certified evidence packages include cross-jurisdictional law mapping across 5 legal frameworks. Every takedown notice, evidence package, and escalation is automatically aligned with the applicable regulations — not retroactively assembled.
TAKE IT DOWN + DEFIANCE Acts
Mandates rapid removal of non-consensual intimate imagery including AI deepfakes. DEFIANCE Act creates federal civil liability for digital forgeries of intimate images.
EU AI Act + GDPR
AI Act requires synthetic content disclosure. GDPR classifies biometric data as special-category, establishing enforceable consent and removal rights under Articles 9 and 17.
Online Safety Act
Criminalizes sharing of intimate deepfake images. Platforms must proactively remove prohibited content. Veyon's automated takedowns align with OSA enforcement requirements.
PIPEDA
Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act classifies biometric identifiers as sensitive personal information with explicit consent requirements.
Online Safety Act
eSafety Commissioner powers to issue removal notices for intimate deepfakes and synthetic media. Veyon evidence packages meet evidentiary requirements.
Where this goes
The patent office
for biometric identity.
Every working system for protecting creators started as infrastructure that didn't exist yet — patents, copyright registries, trademarks. Society built those institutions because individual enforcement, one lawsuit at a time, doesn't scale. Biometric identity needs the same institutional layer.
Accessible protection
Registration, monitoring, and enforcement for everyone — not just those who can afford legal teams. The full lifecycle at a price that makes it a default, not a luxury.
Global registry
A tamper-proof registry of registered biometric identities — the cryptographic ground truth that determines what's real and what's synthetic, at internet scale.
Automated enforcement
Platform-level integration where synthetic content is checked against the registry before publication — prevention, not just removal. The enforcement layer that makes the registry actionable.
Regulatory leadership
Active participation in the standards that govern AI-generated content — biometric verification requirements, deepfake disclosure mandates, cross-border enforcement frameworks.
Preventive watermarking
Cryptographic biometric watermarks embedded at the source — every photo, every audio recording, every video — that make unauthorized synthesis detectable before harm occurs.
