We do not misuse your data. Any information uploaded by users is processed solely for the purposes of providing our services. No data collected is sold to third parties or used beyond what is necessary for our products and applications.

Information We Collect
We may collect photos or videos you choose when using the app, either through your camera, camera roll (if permission is granted), or through the in-app internet search function. Only specific photos and videos that you select for modification are processed, and we do not collect or store your entire photo or video albums. All selected files are encrypted and stored locally on your device, ensuring that only your device can access them. While metadata (e.g., geotags) may be attached to your media by default, we take steps to remove it.
Do We share the information we collect with third parties ?
We may share both personal and non-personal information with third parties such as advertisers, contest sponsors, promotional and marketing partners, and others whose products or services may interest you. Additionally, we might share this information with our affiliated companies and business partners. If we undergo a merger, asset sale, or similar business reorganization, your information might be shared or transferred to our successors.
We also work with trusted third-party service providers who perform various services on our behalf, such as server hosting, database management, email handling, credit card processing, customer service, and order fulfillment. We may share your personal data with these service providers so they can perform their duties for us and for you.
For analytics purposes, we may share certain log file data, such as IP addresses, with third parties like web analytics partners, application developers, and ad networks. These third parties may use this data to determine location, connection speed, device type, and other technical information about how you interact with our service.
Furthermore, we may disclose both personal and non-personal information to government or law enforcement officials or private parties when we believe it's necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect public safety, or address claims or legal processes.
App Usage Information and Online Activity Data
We collect data about how you interact with the app, including features used, preferred language, installation date, and referral sources. Our service providers and certain third parties (such as advertising networks) may also collect this information across third-party websites and mobile apps.
Data on Online Activity and App Usage
If you purchase an app subscription, we do not receive any billing information (e.g., credit card details). We only receive confirmation from the relevant application store to enable Pro services.
Retention of your Face Data
We may collect the facial feature data separately from your photos only to provide you with the face-swapping functionality of our App.
Your photos and face data are stored on the our server until you finish the editing session, but not longer than within 24 hours after the finishing of the editing session. The face data is deleted from the server once the video creation is completed and the data is never retained again. For the rest of the time your photos used in our application are stored locally on your mobile device and may be removed any time by either deleting these photos from your mobile device’s file system directly or by deleting our application.
We don’t share any face data with third-parties.
Retention of your personal data
We only retain your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, unless required by law to retain it for longer periods.
Can I update or correct my information ?
Your ability to update or correct your information depends on your relationship with us. Employees can update their information according to internal policies. Customers can request to update, correct, or delete their information by contacting us. These changes will not affect data we’ve already shared with third parties in line with this policy. To ensure privacy, we may require verification, such as a password, before making updates. While we take steps to delete your information upon request, some data may still exist in backup files or other media.
Do we share the information we collect with third parties ?
We may receive information from third parties when you interact with us. For example, if you provide your email to express interest in becoming a customer, we might receive data from a third party that helps us with automated fraud detection.
When and where is information collected from customers and end users ?
We collect personal information directly from you when you interact with our service. We may also receive information from third parties as mentioned above.
Could my information be transferred to other countries?
Our company is based in India, but the information we collect may be transferred to and hosted in locations around the world, including countries that may not have specific regulations on data use. By using our services, you consent to this transfer and hosting of information across borders, as permitted by law.
Is the information collected through our service secure ?
We take various measures to protect your information, including physical, electronic, and managerial safeguards. While we strive to secure your data, no system is foolproof, and breaches may occur due to intentional crimes, errors, or failure to follow procedures. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, and you agree that intentional misconduct will be the standard for evaluating our efforts to protect your personal data.
Sale of Business
If we or any of our affiliates undergo a sale, merger, or other significant business event, we may transfer your personal information to the acquiring party, provided that they agree to uphold the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Affiliates
We may share your information with our corporate affiliates, defined as entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with us. These affiliates will handle your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How long do we keep your information ?
We retain your information only as long as necessary to provide you with services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Once it's no longer needed, we either remove it from our systems or anonymize it so you can’t be identified.
How do we protect your information ?
We implement security measures, including Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for sensitive information, to protect your data. After completing a transaction, sensitive information like credit card details is not stored. Despite these precautions, we cannot guarantee absolute security, and there is always a risk of unauthorized access.

If we discover that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will promptly delete it from our servers.
Information about General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), this section explains how and why we collect your data and the measures we take to protect it from unauthorized use.
What is GDPR?
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU-wide law that governs how companies protect and handle the personal data of EU residents. It enhances individuals' control over their personal data and imposes stricter regulations on data protection.
What is Personal Data?
Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify an individual. GDPR covers a wide range of data, including but not limited to names, email addresses, financial details, political opinions, genetic and biometric data, IP addresses, and physical addresses. The GDPR mandates the following:
Personal data must be processed fairly, lawfully, and transparently, and only for purposes that the individual would reasonably expect.
Data should only be collected for a specific purpose and should not be used for other purposes unless the individual consents.
Data should not be retained longer than necessary for its intended purpose.
Individuals have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or transfer their personal data.
Why is GDPR Important?
GDPR strengthens data privacy protections and increases penalties for non-compliance. It ensures that companies handle personal data responsibly and transparently. At Help Scout, we prioritize your data privacy and have implemented strong security and privacy measures that exceed the requirements of GDPR.
Rights of Individual Data Subjects: Data Portability, Access, and Deletion
We are committed to supporting our customers in complying with GDPR. All personal data is processed and stored by GDPR-compliant vendors, and we retain it for up to six years unless you delete your account, in which case we delete your data within 60 days.
If you are dealing with EU customers, you need to provide them with access to their data and the ability to update, delete, or transfer it. We offer tools and support to help you meet these requirements.
