Are your Kling Videos Private? Here is the answer…

By April 2025, Kling AI had surpassed 22 million users worldwide.

Thanks to its ability to turn uploaded images, text, audio, and video into AI-generated videos, users have shared a vast number of similar creations on the platform.

But have you ever stopped to consider this: with so many people uploading personal photos, videos, and voice recordings every day, does Kling AI truly protect your privacy?

Once you've finished creating, is your generated video securely set to private? Or could your content be collected—or even published—without your explicit permission?

I’ll be digging into these questions next to find out.

Quick Answer(If you don’t want to read the full article)

You control what others see (videos kept private from other users)
Kling controls how it uses your video in the background (Kling still can see and use your videos).

Privacy Settings of Kling AI Video

When you log in to Kling AI’s homepage, you’ll see a wide range of showcase videos featured on the platform. But are these videos publicly displayed without user consent?

After looking into it, that doesn’t seem to be the case. When you generate a video using Kling AI, there’s a “Publish” button located in the bottom-right corner of the video settings panel.

Only after clicking “Publish,” filling out the relevant video details, and confirming the submission will your video actually appear on Kling AI’s homepage.

In other words, the showcase videos displayed on Kling AI are only published when users explicitly choose to share them.

Kling AI does not automatically make your generated content public without your permission.

But this doesn’t fully answer the question: Are Kling AI videos truly private?

How does Kling AI handle the data users upload?

Once a video is generated, does Kling AI have the right to use that data? To answer that, we’ll need to take a closer look at Kling AI’s privacy policy and terms of service.

Kling AI Privacy Policy

According to Kling AI’s Privacy Policy (https://klingai.com/global/docs/privacy-policy), here are two key points regarding data usage:

(1) Your data is not made public by default

(2) You can request deletion of your content and account

That means:

By default, Kling AI does not make your videos or other uploaded content visible to others unless you explicitly choose to publish them or share them on the platform.
If you actively choose to make a video public, it becomes visible to everyone on the platform and may be accessible to third parties. At that point, the content is no longer protected under Kling AI’s privacy safeguards.
You can adjust the visibility settings of each video or piece of content at any time—whether to keep it private, share it with select individuals, or make it fully public.
You have the right to delete your account and all associated content at any time. Once your account is deleted, your data will either be removed entirely or anonymized in accordance with Kling AI’s data handling policies.

Are Kling AI Videos Private?” — Key Takeaways from the Terms of Service

After carefully reviewing Kling AI’s Terms of Service (https://klingai.com/global/docs/user-policy), I’ve identified several important points regarding video privacy and content usage:

1. User-Controlled Visibility

According to Section 3.6 of the TOS, you can decide—based on Kling AI’s platform settings—whether the videos you upload or generate are visible only to yourself (private), to selected users, or to everyone. The actual behavior depends on the platform interface and available features.

2. Content Is Non-Proprietary and Non-Confidential by Default

The TOS states:

“Content you uploaded or published will be considered non-proprietary and non-confidential. You must not upload or transmit any Content that you consider to be proprietary or confidential.”

In other words, if you don’t actively set your content to private, it will be treated as non-exclusive and non-confidential, and may be used or displayed by others or the platform.

3. Worldwide Usage Rights

Section 4.7.1

This means that once you upload content (e.g., images, videos) to Kling AI, the company can use it globally—regardless of location.

4. Non-Exclusive License

According to Section 4.7.1, you’re still the creator and can use your content. But Kling AI also has the right to use it. Both you and Kling AI can use it at the same time.

5. Broad Scope of Use

Section 4.7.1. The license includes rights to:

“…host, store, transfer, publicly display, publicly perform (including by means of a digital audio transmission), communicate to the public, reproduce, modify for the purpose of formatting for display, create derivative works from, and distribute Input and Output, in whole or in part, in any media formats and through any media channels.”

This means Kling AI can save, show, share, edit, change, and even make new things from your content—on any platform, in any format.

6. Royalty-Free Usage

Section 4.7.1 states Kling AI does not need to pay you to use your content. They can use it for free. You won’t get paid.

7. Right to Sublicense

TOS Section 4.7.2:

Kling AI can give permission to third parties to use your content. For example, if you upload a picture, they might share it with partners—or even with their partners’ partners—without additional consent.

8. Irrevocable

TOS Section 4.7.4:

Normally, once you agree, you can’t take back the permission. But Kling AI says you can email them to ask not to use your content anymore. Still, anything they already used might not be removed.

Are Kling Videos Private? A clear answer

At first glance, Kling’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service (TOS) may seem contradictory. Users can choose to make their videos private, yet Kling AI claims global, non-exclusive usage rights. So what’s going on?

Let’s break it down.

Why does it seem “contradictory”?

Privacy Policy: Your content (like videos) is private by default. You decide whether to keep it private or make it public. Kling respects and provides tools for privacy control.

Terms of Service says: Once you upload a video, Kling has the right to use it—worldwide, royalty-free, and even share it with others. This includes storing, editing, and using it in different ways.

But actually, there’s no real conflict. Here’s why:

A. Internal Use vs. Public Display

Internal Use (from the TOS): No matter if your video is private or public, Kling can use it behind the scenes—for things like system updates, AI training, or improving services. These uses are not shown to other users.

Public Display (from the Privacy Policy): Whether your video is shown to other people is up to you. If you don’t make it public, no one else can see it.

B. Real-Life Example

If you upload a video and set it to private, other users won’t see it. But Kling might still use it in the background to improve its AI. It won’t show your video to others.

If you make your video public, Kling can use it more widely, and other users or third parties might see it, share it, or remix it.

Final Answer

So, are Kling videos private?

✅ Yes—if you’re asking whether other people can see your video, you’re in control. You decide who sees it, and Kling respects that.

⚠️ But if you’re asking whether Kling can use your video behind the scenes, the answer is also yes. By uploading, you give Kling permission to use it internally—even if it’s private. That’s part of using the platform.

To sum up:

You control what others see.
Kling controls how it uses your video in the background.
