Most online interaction happens through a represented self — a name and picture, a curated profile, a creator persona, a voice, and increasingly an AI stand-in that can act on someone's behalf. RSP treats that avatar as something the person owns and controls, not something a platform can quietly reuse. See the full set of tracked consent dimensions on the Dimensions page.

Claiming establishes that a given avatar is yours. Your display name, picture, likeness, recorded voice and any AI stand-in are linked to your core identity in the RSP model, so every later grant references one owner. Nothing is shared at this stage — claiming is about ownership, not exposure. This is the identity-context layer described under Consent modules, applied to representation rather than raw account data.
A grant lets a specific context project part of your avatar. Each grant is scoped by where it applies (which hub or product), how it may be used (view-only likeness, live voice, an acting AI twin), and for how long (a single session, a fixed window, or until revoked). Grants are additive and never permanent — likeness and voice are always time- or session-bounded rather than a blanket hand-over.
When others encounter you, RSP renders only the facets your active grants permit. Presence signals control how your avatar appears live — available, busy, quiet — so being seen never means being surveilled. Identity-exposure protection guards against unwanted visual or voice similarity, keeping an AI representation clearly tied to, and bounded by, your consent.
Revocation withdraws a grant the same way it withdraws any other RSP permission. The projection stops everywhere the grant reached, AI stand-ins lose the authority to act or speak for you, and the change is recorded in the consent ledger without becoming a surveillance dashboard. Consent is a living state you can end at any time, not a one-time checkbox.
Maya is a recovery coach who records short encouragement clips. Here is how her represented self moves through RSP — from claiming her avatar to revoking it.
Maya links her name, photo, recorded voice and a permitted AI voice model to her core identity. Nothing is shared yet — she simply owns her represented self.
She grants the Recovery Circle hub a session-scoped voice grant so her AI stand-in can read new encouragement messages aloud during evening check-ins only.
During check-in, members hear Maya's voice on today's message and see her presence as available. They cannot access her likeness elsewhere or generate new clips — RSP renders only what she allowed.
When Maya pauses coaching, she revokes the grant. The AI voice can no longer speak for her, past projections stop, and the change is logged in her consent ledger.
