1. Facial Data Collection and Use Policy
(1). What face data does our app collect?
We only analyze the images uploaded by users, such as facial contours, eyes, and nose.
(2). What is the purpose of collecting this information?
We collect face data solely for the purpose of generating realistic portrait effects. When users use our service, we first analyze the images they upload to our cloud server (e.g., identifying the face, eyes, and nose). Then, we use AI to combine this data with the selected templates to generate the realistic effects that users need. We and our partners require users’ images to be generated and to improve the realistic effect, and we will not share your face images with any third parties. Once the final effect is generated, the uploaded images will be immediately deleted. However, the effect images will be stored on the cloud server for free for 10 days, and users are advised to save the effect images to their phone albums in a timely manner. The user’s own uploaded image history is stored on the user’s local device, and we do not store any facial information of the user. Please note that users will need to re-upload their local avatar each time they use the service.
(3). Will the data be shared with any third parties? Where will this information be stored?
We and our partners require users’ images to be generated and to improve the realistic effect, and we will not share your face data with any third parties. Before generating the effects, your images are temporarily stored on an encrypted cloud server. After the effects are generated, your images will be immediately deleted.
(4). How long will face data be retained?
Once the final effect is generated, the uploaded images will be immediately deleted. However, the effect images will be stored on the cloud server for free for 10 days, and users are advised to save the effect images to their phone albums in a timely manner. The user’s own uploaded image history is stored on the user’s local device, and we do not store any facial information of the user.
