Face Swap App Privacy Policy

Welcome to Face Swap App!

Face Swap App is a user-friendly face swap application designed to help you create engaging content. Here at Face Swap App, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to safeguarding it. We will use your personal information to provide our services only with your explicit consent, as explained below.

By downloading, or using our services, you accept this Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of our Terms of Use. We may update this Privacy Policy periodically.

If you don't have time to read the entire Privacy Policy, we've summarized some key points about Face Swap App's privacy practices:

• Face Swap App is a photo and video editing application designed to provide users with realistic facial transformations for portraits.
• Any photographs or videos you provide when using Face Swap App are used exclusively for the purpose of offering editing functionality within the app.
• During the editing process, your photos or videos are temporarily cached on cloud servers and encrypted using a locally stored key on your mobile device.

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1. Content Selection and Processing

When utilizing the Face Swap App and selecting photos or videos for editing, we briefly store them for rendering the requested editing service:

• Your chosen photos or videos for editing within the app. We exclusively process the specific photos or videos you select for modification and do not access your complete photo or video library (face data), even with granted permissions. Each chosen photo or video is safeguarded with encryption, kept locally on your device, ensuring that only the device from which the content was submitted (the user's device) can access it.
• It's important to clarify that we neither require nor request any metadata linked to the photos or videos you select for editing. Nevertheless, metadata, such as geotags, may be automatically appended to your photos or videos. We take measures to eliminate any attached metadata from the content you provide during app usage.

1.2. Additional Information Gathering

When utilizing the Face Swap App and our website, we may collect various information, including:

• Data pertaining to app usage and online activities, such as your interactions with the app, language preferences, installation and launch times, as well as referral sources to our website.
• Some of this data may also be gathered by third parties, such as online advertising networks and their clients, across third-party websites and mobile applications. We may collect this information through technologies like cookies, browser web storage, and similar methods. 
• App-related purchase history, which confirms your paid subscription to the app, without disclosing specific billing details, such as billing addresses or credit card information.
• Device-related details, such as your operating system type and version, device manufacturer and model, push tokens, Google Advertising ID, Apple ID for Advertising, browser types, screen resolutions, IP addresses (and the associated city/country location), and the website you visited prior to accessing our site.

Please note that generally, only online identifiers like IP addresses, App Instance IDs (assigned to each app copy on your device), and Advertising IDs are regarded as personal data. However, we cannot directly identify you as an individual based on these identifiers.
