A Different Approach to AI
Not all AI is created equal. While many platforms use AI to generate more content faster, RightMarket takes a fundamentally different approach: we use AI exclusively to protect – your brand, your beneficiaries, and your organisation’s reputation.
This is what we call Responsible AI: artificial intelligence that is purpose-built for governance, compliance, and safeguarding – not for mass content generation. Every AI feature in RightMarket exists to catch problems, enforce policies, and create accountability. Humans always remain in control.
For organisations like Barnardo’s, where trust, safeguarding, and the dignity of children and families are paramount, the distinction between generative AI and protective AI is everything.
Our Guiding Principles
RightMarket’s approach to AI is built on five core principles:
1
Protection, not generation
AI is used to catch risks and enforce compliance, not to produce uncontrolled content
2
Your rules, not ours
Every AI check is configured to your organisation’s specific brand, legal, and safeguarding policies
3
Advisory, not restrictive
AI provides clear guidance and recommendations; humans always make the final decision
4
Transparent and auditable
Every AI action is logged, creating a full audit trail for governance and regulatory reviews
5
Privacy by design
AI processes content solely for the purpose of moderation and compliance, in line with data protection commitments and customer agreements
How Responsible AI Works in Practice
Safeguarding Imagery of Children and Vulnerable People
For charities working with children and families, image governance is not optional – it is a safeguarding obligation. RightMarket addresses this through two integrated AI capabilities.
Image Consent Management
Ensures that every image uploaded into the platform requires a mandatory, non-skippable consent confirmation before it can be used in any design. Administrators control the exact wording of this consent declaration, allowing it to reference your own safeguarding policies – for example, confirming that parents or guardians have provided consent for images of children.
The system tracks consent at the individual image level, with full audit trails showing who uploaded each image, when consent was given, which consent statement was accepted, and every design where that image appears. If consent later expires or is withdrawn – for example, if a wish child’s family revokes permission – administrators can update the status and the system automatically blocks downloads of any design containing that image, including cropped or resized versions.
Image Moderation
Uses AI to automatically review uploaded images against your organisation’s specific safeguarding rules. For charities working with children or vulnerable adults, this means the system can flag images that may contain identifiable children, sensitive situations, or content that falls outside your safeguarding guidelines.
When a potential issue is detected, the user receives a clear, in-context explanation of what was flagged and recommended next steps – such as confirming consent, selecting a pre-approved alternative, or seeking additional approval. Crucially, Image Moderation is a guidance layer, not a hard gate. Users receive actionable feedback without workflow disruption, and the same safeguarding rules are applied consistently to every user across the organisation.
Preventing Harmful or Non-Compliant Language
RightMarket’s Content Moderation uses AI to review text in real time as users type, checking against configurable rules for discriminatory language, obscenities, non-inclusive phrasing, and compliance requirements.
For a charity like Barnardo’s, this means:
- DEI and inclusive language enforcement - The system flags potentially discriminatory, non-inclusive, or insensitive phrasing and suggests more inclusive alternatives
- Obscenity and profanity detection - Offensive language is identified and flagged before it can appear in published materials
- Brand language rules - Banned terms, required disclaimers, and preferred terminology are enforced consistently across all users
- Legal and regulatory support - Content is checked against UK-relevant marketing and communication standards, with risky wording flagged for review
Every recommendation is captured for admin reporting, so leadership has full visibility into what is being flagged, which rules are triggered most frequently, and how teams are responding to guidance. Like Image Moderation, Content Moderation is advisory — it never blocks a user from completing their work, but ensures they are informed before content reaches publication.
Why This Matters for Charities Working with Children
Organisations that work with children face unique and heightened responsibilities around imagery and communications. The consequences of getting it wrong are significant:
Retraumatisation
Using a beneficiary’s image outside of the agreed scope, or in a context they did not consent to, can cause real harm
GDPR violations
Non-compliance with image consent regulations can result in fines of up to £17.5 million or 4% of annual turnover
Safeguarding failures
Using imagery of children without valid, tracked consent represents a safeguarding breach that can damage trust with families, regulators, and the public
Reputational damage
A single incident involving inappropriate or non-consented imagery can erode the donor and public trust that charities depend on
RightMarket’s Responsible AI approach is specifically designed to prevent these outcomes – not by restricting creativity, but by embedding automated safeguards into the point where content is created.
What Makes This Different from Canva and Other Platforms
| Capability | Canva | RightMarket |
|---|---|---|
| AI purpose | Content generation - create more, faster | Content protection - catch risks before publication |
| Compliance checking | Generic expletive filters only | Department-configured rules: employment law, safeguarding, GDPR, DEI |
| Image consent tracking | No consent management | Mandatory consent checkpoint per image, full audit trail, expiry management, automatic download blocking |
| Image safeguarding | No safeguarding-specific features | AI moderation against your safeguarding policies, flagging for children and vulnerable adults |
| Audit trail | No audit trail or governance record | Full audit trail: every image use, consent status, compliance check, and approval decision logged |
| Customisation | One-size-fits-all | Each department configures its own rules - different policies for fundraising, HR, marketing, volunteers |
| Data handling | AI trained on user content | Text processed solely for moderation; aligned with data protection commitments |
Data Privacy and Security
RightMarket takes a privacy-first approach to AI:
- Purpose-limited processing - Text and images are processed solely for the purpose of moderation and compliance, in line with data protection commitments and customer agreements
- No training on your data - Your content is not used to train AI models or shared with third parties
- Configurable per organisation - Every rule, threshold, and safeguarding check is specific to your account and your policies
- Resilient design - If AI analysis is temporarily unavailable, designs remain fully usable; no content is blocked due to system issues
- Audit-ready - All AI actions are logged immutably, creating exportable compliance records suitable for trustees, the Charity Commission, or regulatory inquiries
The Bottom Line
RightMarket’s position on AI is simple: AI should protect people, not replace them.
For Barnardo’s, this means a platform where every image of a wish child is protected by consent management and safeguarding checks. Where every piece of text is screened for harmful or non-compliant language before it reaches the public. Where every AI decision is logged, explained, and auditable. And where humans always have the final say.
This is Responsible AI – purpose-built for organisations where trust, safeguarding, and reputation are non-negotiable.
