Photo Editor
Privacy Policy
If you decide not to read this entire Privacy Policy, we want you to walk away with a few key points about our app privacy practices:
- The Apps are photo or video editors that allow users to edit portraits with highly realistic facial transformations.
- We do not use photographs or videos you provide when you use the Apps for any reason other than to provide you with the editing functionality of the Apps.
- We use third-party cloud providers - specifically, Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services - to process and edit photographs and videos.
- You only send to the cloud the photographs or videos that you specifically select for editing.
- Photographs or videos are temporarily cached on the cloud servers during the editing process and encrypted using a key stored locally on your mobile device.
- Photographs or videos may remain in the cloud for a maximum limited period of 24 to 48 hours, for improved performance and lower bandwidth allowing additional changes to recently selected photos or videos in an optimal manner.
Here’s more on our privacy practices.
1. Information We Collect
1.1. When you use the Apps and select photographs or videos for editing, we cache them for processing to render the requested editing service:
- Photographs or videos you select when you use the Apps, via your camera or camera roll (if you have granted the Apps the permission to access your camera or camera roll), or via the in-App internet search functionality. We process only specific photos and videos you choose to modify using the Apps; and we do not collect your photo or video albums even if you grant us access to them. We safeguard each photograph or video that you select using an encryption key stored locally on your device. This means that the only device that can view the photo or video is the device from which the photograph or video was submitted using the Apps - the user’s device. Please note that while we do not require or request any metadata attached to the photographs or videos you select for editing, metadata (including, for example, geotags) may be associated with your photographs or videos by default. We take steps to delete any metadata that may be associated with a photograph or video you provide when you use the Apps. Photographs or videos may remain cached in the cloud for a limited period between 24 to 48 hours after your last edit, so that you can return to it and make additional changes if you so choose.
1.2. When you use the Apps and the Site, we may collect some information, including:
- Apps usage information and online activity data, such as information about 1) how you use the Apps and interact with them, including the features you use, your preferred language, the date and time when you first installed the Apps and the date and time when you launch the Apps; 2) sources of referrals to the Site.
- App-related purchase history, if you choose to purchase an Apps subscription, we will not receive such information as billing address, credit card etc. (as we don’t distribute subscriptions directly), we will only receive confirmation from the relevant application store that you are a paid subscriber to the Apps so we can provide Pro services.
- Device data, such as your computer and mobile device operating system type and version number, manufacturer and model, push tokens, browser type, screen resolution, IP address (and the associated city/country in which you are located), and the website you visited before visiting our Site.
Generally, all data are associated only with an App Instance ID (assigned to an instance of the Apps installed on your mobile device). Online identifiers such as an IP address and App Instance ID are generally considered as personal data. However, we are not in a position to identify you specifically by name or address on the basis of such identifiers.
This information may be collected through our Site and Apps using cookies, and similar technologies. We may collect this information directly or through our use of third-party software development kits (“SDKs”). SDKs may enable third parties to collect information directly from the App.
1.3. When you contact us by email, we may also collect:
- Contact information, such as your name and email address, and information relating to your communication.
