Welcome To FaceSD : Face Editor’S Privacy Policy!

If you decide not to read this entire Privacy Policy, we want you to walk away with a few key points about FaceApp’s privacy practices:

  • The Apps are photo editors that allow users to edit portraits with highly realistic facial transformations.
  • We do not use photographs 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 , Amazon Web Services and Vultr Services) to process and edit photographs and videos.
  • You only send to the cloud the photographs that you specifically select for editing.
  • Photographs are temporarily cached on the cloud servers during the editing process, and encrypted using a key stored locally on your mobile device.
  • Photographs 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 in an optimal manner.

    2. App permission

    We use various permissions in our app to provide you with the best experience. Here is an explanation of the permissions we require:

    • Camera Permission: We request access to your camera primarily for the purpose of allowing users to take photos and apply facial beauty enhancements. We will not access your camera without your explicit consent.
    • Photo Library Permission: We need to access your photo album to save photos. We will not access your camera without your explicit consent.

    3. Information We Collect

    3.1. When you use the app and select photographs for editing, we temporarily store them for processing to provide the requested editing service:

    • The photographs you choose while using the app, either through your device's camera or camera roll (if you've granted the app permission to access them) . We process only the specific photos you decide to modify using the app, and we do not collect your entire photo album, even if you grant us access. Each photograph you select is safeguarded using an encryption key stored locally on your device. This means that only the device from which the photograph was submitted through the app can view it. Please note that while we don't request or require any metadata attached to the photos you select for editing, default metadata (like geotags) may be associated with your photos. We take measures to remove any metadata linked to a photo you provide through the app. These photos may be temporarily stored in the cloud for a limited period, typically between 24 to 48 hours after your last edit, allowing you to return to them and make additional changes if you wish.

    3.2. When you use the application and website, we may collect certain information, including:

    • Application usage information and online activity data, such as:
      • Information on how you use the application and interact with it, including the features you use, your preferred language, the date and time of your initial application installation, and the date and time of application launches.
      • Referral sources for our website. Our service providers and certain third parties (such as online advertising networks and their clients) may also collect such information over time through third-party websites and mobile applications. This information may be collected on our website using cookies, browser local storage (also known as Local Storage Objects or "LSO"), web beacons, and similar technologies. We may collect this information directly or through the use of third-party software development kits ("SDKs"). SDKs can enable third parties to collect information directly from the application.
    • Device data, including information such as your computer and mobile device's operating system type and version, manufacturer and model, push tokens, Google Advertising ID and Apple ID for advertising, browser type, screen resolution, IP address (and the related city/country where you are located), and the websites you visited before accessing our website.

    Only online identifiers such as IP address, application instance ID (assigned to copies of the application installed on your device), and advertising IDs are typically considered personal data. However, we cannot directly identify you as the data subject based on such identifiers.

    3.3. When you contact us via email, we may also collect:

    • Contact information, such as your name and email address, along with information related to your communication.

    4. How We Use Your Information

    4.1. The photographs you provide when using the Apps are exclusively used to deliver the editing functionality within the Apps. We do not use them for any other purposes. This section provides a detailed explanation of how we use the face data collected and the purposes behind its usage.

    • Facial Enhancement: The primary use of face data is to enhance facial features in photos or videos. This includes reducing wrinkles, blemishes, and imperfections to create a smoother and clearer appearance. Users can adjust the intensity of facial enhancement according to their preferences to maintain a natural look.
    • Expression Modification: Face data is employed to modify expressions in photos. Users can choose to appear happier, sadder, or convey other emotions through fine-tuning facial features and expressions.
    • Hairstyle Alteration: Users can experiment with different hairstyles, and our application uses facial data to automatically adapt the chosen hairstyle for a more appealing effect.
    • Lip Color Change: Our application allows users to change lip color to match their makeup or personal style. This is achieved by adjusting lip features.
    • Facial Feature Adjustment: Users can fine-tune specific facial features such as eyes, nose, and mouth to achieve their desired look. Various effects are available, including bigger eyes, slimming the face, narrowing the jawline, modifying mouth shape, and reshaping the nose.
    • Cartoonization: Our application offers a variety of cartoon effects in over 20 different styles, allowing users to transform their facial features into cartoon-like representations.
    • Age Transformation: Users can modify their facial appearance to simulate different age groups, from children to the elderly, to achieve a range of age-related effects.
    • Face Swapping: Our application enables users to perform image fusion operations on portrait templates and images to create interesting effects. Facial data is used to execute these creative editing features.

    4.2. We may utilize information, excluding photographs , for the following purposes:

    • Operating and enhancing the Apps and the Site: We employ your personal information to operate, maintain, and offer the Apps and the Site. This includes fulfilling our contractual obligations as outlined in our Terms of Use, enabling you to use the Apps' features and visit the Site, communicating with you about the Apps and the Site, providing technical support and maintenance for the Apps, and sending announcements, updates, and security alerts.
    • Improving, monitoring, and safeguarding our Apps and the Site: In our legitimate business interests, we strive to improve and maintain the safety and security of our services. This involves conducting statistical analysis on aggregated data regarding App and Site usage, troubleshooting, testing, and research.
    • Displaying advertisements: For users of the free version of the Apps, we collaborate with advertising partners to present ads within the Apps. These ads, delivered by our advertising partners, may be tailored based on your online activity. We process your personal information for these purposes based on your consent, where required by applicable law, and as part of our legitimate interests. For details on your choices related to advertisements
    • Compliance, fraud prevention, and safety: We may use and disclose the information we collect, such as device data and app usage information, when it is in our legitimate business interests to protect rights, privacy, safety, or property (including legal claims), enforce terms and conditions, and investigate and prevent fraudulent, harmful, unauthorized, unethical, or illegal activities. This information may be shared with government authorities and other third parties as mandated by applicable law. It's important to note that we do not store encryption keys for the photos and videos cached for processing.
    • Creating anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data: We may generate anonymous, aggregated, or de-identified data for legitimate business interests and share it with third parties.

    4.3. We will only process personal information based on our legitimate interests when these interests do not override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.

    5. How We Share Your Information

    5.1. We do not share user photographs with third parties, except for the temporary caching of encrypted versions with our cloud providers, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Vultr Services, solely to enable the photo editing features of the Apps.

    5.2 We may share your non-photograph information in the following situations:

    • Affiliates: Information collected from you may be shared with our subsidiaries and affiliates, in line with the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
    • Service providers: Your information may be shared with service providers who perform tasks on our behalf or assist in the operation of the Apps (such as customer support, hosting, analytics, email delivery, marketing, and database management services). These third parties may only use your information as directed or authorized by us and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. They are prohibited from using or disclosing your information for any other purpose.
    • Advertising partners: When third-party cookies and other tracking tools are employed, our advertising partners may collect data from your device for the purpose of displaying advertisements within the Apps and promoting the Site and Apps (including related content) on other online platforms.
    • Third-party platforms and social media networks: You have the option to share edited photos or videos to your social media accounts. We do not govern how third-party platforms use your information, as their use is subject to the privacy policies and terms and conditions of the respective third parties.
    • Business transfers: In connection with business transactions (or potential transactions), such as corporate divestitures, mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, reorganizations, asset sales, or in the event of bankruptcy or dissolution, we may sell, transfer, or share some or all of our business assets, including information.

    6. Legal Compliance

    To comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, and legal processes, we may need to disclose your information, such as responding to subpoenas or requests from government authorities, or for the reasons of compliance, fraud prevention, and security mentioned above. Please note that we cannot access your photos or videos because they are cached in encrypted format, and the decryption keys reside on the user's device, making it impossible for us to disclose such content.

    7. Retention

    We have configured Google Cloud Platform , Amazon Web Services and Vultr Services to delete photos, along with any associated information, within 24 to 48 hours after your last use of the application to edit them. This ensures that you can revisit your photos or videos during this time period for further modifications.

    For non-photo information that we may collect, we will retain such data only for the necessary duration to fulfill the purposes outlined in this privacy policy.

    8. Security of your personal data

    We understand the importance of keeping your personal information safe and secure, and we take the following measures to protect it:

    • We encrypt your personal data when it is being transmitted and when it is at rest.
    • We perform regular system vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify and address potential security risks.
    • We protect the integrity of your data to prevent unauthorized access, use, or disclosure.
    • We have implemented organizational and legal measures to ensure that your data is protected, including access controls and employee training.
    • We conduct regular data protection impact assessments to ensure that our security measures are up-to-date and effective.

    8.2. However, it's important to note that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, we can not guarantee its absolute security.
