This clause determines what Kling AI can do with the creative content, personal images, and prompts you submit, which may include using them to train or refine its AI models.
Interpretive note: The actual verbatim license grant language was not recoverable from the truncated document; the excerpt above relates to a billing provision and was used as a placeholder; the content license scope is inferred from platform type and partial document content rather than direct quotation.
If you upload photos of yourself or others to generate AI videos, the content license may permit Kling AI to retain and use those images beyond your immediate generation request, depending on how the license scope is interpreted and what applicable law permits.

"Unused resource package balance does not carry over and will be cleared upon expiration.— Excerpt from Kling AI's Kling AI Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: A broad content license covering user-submitted images and videos implicates GDPR Article 6 lawful basis requirements and Article 9 where submitted images constitute biometric or sensitive personal data; in the US, Illinois BIPA applies where facial geometry is derived from uploaded images, and CCPA applies to California residents' personal information. The FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive practices is relevant if the license scope is not clearly disclosed at point of consent. Enforcement authority in the US rests primarily with the FTC and State Attorneys General. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The content license scope, if it extends to AI model training, creates significant regulatory exposure in the EU and Illinois where consent requirements for biometric and personal data processing are strict and not easily satisfied through a general terms acceptance. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have the strongest protections under GDPR, which may require a separate lawful basis for using personal image data to train AI models beyond service delivery. Illinois BIPA creates statutory damages exposure for biometric data derived from uploaded images without explicit written consent. California's CCPA sensitive personal information framework may apply to facial images. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise API integrators who submit end-user content to Kling AI should assess whether their own privacy policies and data processing agreements permit this upstream data use. A Data Processing Agreement with Kling AI may be required under GDPR Article 28 where the integrator is a data controller. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map what categories of personal data users submit via the platform, assess whether the content license constitutes a secondary use requiring separate consent, and evaluate whether existing user disclosures adequately cover Kling AI's data use practices as a sub-processor or independent controller.
