However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

Our App is not intended for individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

8.1. Face Data Collection, Use, Sharing, and Retention

Collection of Face Data: Our App collects facial images that you voluntarily upload for the sole purpose of training personalized AI models. These facial images are considered face data and are treated with the highest level of privacy protection.

Use of Face Data: The face data collected through our App is used exclusively for:

Sharing of Face Data: Your face data is shared only with our trusted AI service provider, Astria (https://astria.ai), which handles the AI model fine-tuning and image generation processes. Astria is contractually obligated to handle your data in accordance with their privacy policy (available at: https://www.astria.ai/privacy) and strictly for the purpose of providing our service. We do not share your face data with any other third parties, sell it, or use it for advertising purposes.

Storage of Face Data: Your face data is stored securely using encryption and access control measures. The data is stored in secure cloud storage services with appropriate safeguards to protect against unauthorized access.

Retention of Face Data: We adhere to a strict data minimization principle. Your face data, including all uploaded facial images and the associated fine-tuned AI models, are automatically deleted after 30 days. This ensures that your face data is retained only for the minimum time necessary to provide our services.

We take the protection of your face data extremely seriously and have implemented technical, organizational, and legal measures to ensure its security and proper use. You maintain control over your face data and can request deletion at any time by contacting us.

User Control Over Face Data: You are free to delete any fine-tuned AI models directly from the app settings at any time. Deleting a model will immediately remove all data related to that model, including your uploaded facial images and all generated pictures, from our systems and from our AI service provider.

9. Analytics and Cookies

We use analytics services such as Plausible to collect information about how users interact with our App. These analytics help us improve our App and services. We collect this information in a privacy-respecting way, focusing on aggregate usage patterns rather than identifying individual users.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you reside. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country.

When we transfer your information to other countries, we will take appropriate measures to protect your information and ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
