3. When and with whom we share your data.
4. How we secure and store your data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of personal data to provide and improve our services:

a. Information You Provide Directly

• Photos: The App may access and temporarily store the photos you upload or capture while using the App. This data is used solely for face-swapping purposes. You won’t be able to upload content unless the App can access your device’s camera or storage.
• Facial Feature Data: To perform face-swapping, the App processes facial feature data extracted from your photos. This is not biometric data and is used only to provide the core functionality of the App.

b. Automatically Collected Usage Data

We collect data automatically to analyze how users interact with the App. This includes:

• Device information, such as operating system, device model, unique identifiers (e.g., IDFA), browser type, and screen resolution.
• Network information, such as your IP address, region, and time zone.
• App usage data, such as session duration, pages viewed, and interactions with features.

c. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Authenticate your account.
• Provide a smooth and customized experience.

Cookies are small files stored on your device that expire after a session. By using the App, you consent to the use of cookies.

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your personal data only as necessary to provide the App's core functionality, improve our services, and comply with legal obligations.

a. Use of Photos and Facial Features

Your photos and facial feature data are processed exclusively to provide face-swapping functionality. This data is not used for facial recognition, identification, or other unrelated purposes.

b. Use of Other Data

We use automatically collected data to:

• Improve the App’s performance and functionality.
• Monitor and analyze usage trends.
• Troubleshoot technical issues.
• Enhance the security of the App and protect user accounts.
• Customize services and advertisements based on your preferences.

c. Marketing and Analytics

We may use aggregated or anonymized data for analytics and marketing purposes. For instance, we may evaluate user behavior to improve our campaigns or develop new features.

3. How We Share Information

To deliver the App's features and maintain its quality, we may share your information with trusted third parties.

a. Service Providers

We collaborate with secure third-party providers, such as:

• Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services: For temporary and secure storage of uploaded data.
• Analytics Platforms: Google Analytics, Firebase, Amplitude, and Facebook App Event Tracking for tracking user behavior and app performance.
• Advertising Platforms: Google AdMob, AppLovin, and Appodeal for personalized advertising.
• Error Monitoring Services: Platforms like Sentry to identify and fix bugs.

These providers process data according to their privacy policies. We ensure they meet strict data protection standards.

b. Legal Disclosures

We may disclose your data:

• To comply with legal obligations or government requests.
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or the public.

c. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your jurisdiction. In such cases, we take appropriate safeguards, such as relying on the EU-US Privacy Shield or other lawful transfer mechanisms.

4. Data Storage and Security

a. Data Retention

• Photos: Temporarily stored on our servers for up to 72 hours to complete processing. After this period, they are deleted. Content remains stored locally on your device unless you delete it.
• Facial Features: Retained for 30 days after your last session, then permanently deleted.
• Other Data: Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

b. Security Measures

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:

• Encryption during data transmission and storage.
• Limiting access to personal data to authorized personnel under strict confidentiality agreements.
• Regular security assessments and updates to safeguard against unauthorized access, loss, or damage.

5. Webview Functionality

The Face Swap Photo App is a webview-based application, meaning that it primarily displays and interacts with web-based content within the app interface. The app does not collect or store any sensitive personal data beyond what is necessary for the face-swapping feature.

As a webview app, any external content users interact with is managed by third-party websites or services. Personal data processed by those external services is governed by their own privacy policies. The Face Swap Photo App does not have access to or control over the data handled by these external websites or services.

We ensure that all data collection within the app adheres to privacy regulations and app store policies. By using the app, you acknowledge and accept that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of the external websites accessed through the app.

6. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (or 16 in the EU). If you are under 18, you must obtain consent from a parent or guardian before using the App.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a child, we will promptly delete it.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in laws or our services. You will be notified of significant changes through the App or other communication channels. Continued use of the App after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.

8. Use of Face Data in the App

We use face images solely to perform the face-swapping functionality, which is the main feature of our app. No additional face data is collected, and the images are used exclusively for executing face swaps. By default, the swap results are deleted immediately after being shown to the user, unless the user chooses to save them within the app.
We do not share face data with any third parties. All face-swapping processes are carried out on our secure servers. By default, the swapped images are immediately removed from the server, but if the user decides to save them, they will be stored in their personal collection within the app.
