Your privacy is important to us. It is Appyhigh’s policy to respect your privacy and comply with any applicable law and regulation regarding any personal information we may collect about you, including via our app, AI Anime Art Generator: Create AI Art, and its associated services.
Personal information is any information about you which can be used to identify you. This includes information about you as a person (such as name, address, and date of birth), your devices, payment details, and even information about how you use an app or online service.
In the event our app contains links to third-party sites and services, please be aware that those sites and services have their own privacy policies. After following a link to any third-party content, you should read their posted privacy policy information about how they collect and use personal information. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of your activities after you leave our app.
This policy is effective as of (Enter Date)
Last updated: (Enter Date)
Information we collect falls into one of two categories: “voluntarily provided” information and “automatically collected” information.
“Voluntarily provided” information refers to any information you knowingly and actively provide us when using our app and its associated services.
“Automatically collected” information refers to any information automatically sent by your device in the course of accessing our app and its associated services.
Information Collection and Use
For a better experience, while using our Service, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. The information that we request will be retained by us and used as described in this privacy policy.

The app processes the images you upload to generate AI Avatars (including images of your face) and the images generated by the app (e.g. the AI avatars that you created). The technologies implemented in the app do not allow unique identification or authentication of a single user starting from the images uploaded to the app or from the AI avatars generated by the app, nor is it our intention to train the technologies to do so. This means that we only use the app to create the requested AI avatar, based on the face images shared by the user. In order to be able to generate AI avatars the app needs access to your photo library and to your camera, but this access will require that you grant a specific permission through a request that will appear on your mobile device.

What face data does our app collect?
Our app collects facial data from the photos uploaded by users in order to make our model learn about the new subject or the new user in our case. Our machine learning algorithms generate digital portraits based on the pictures users upload. After the model training is done which usually takes 20 mins, we delete the pictures from our servers in 24 Hours. We don't process the generated images further, and don't use them.
How do we use the collected face data? Provide a complete and clear explanation of all planned uses of this data.
We use the collected face data to generate the user's personalised AI avatar. The data is processed through our AI algorithms to create a 3D model of the user's facial features, which is then used to create the avatar. We do not use this data for any other purposes.
Will the data be shared with any third parties? Where will this information be stored?
We do not share any collected face data with third parties. The data is stored securely on our servers and is accessible only to authorised personnel. We take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and privacy of all collected data.
How long will face data be retained?
As soon as the avatars are generated, the user’s photos are deleted in 24 Hours and the associated trained models are erased permanently from our servers after 30 days. We keep these trained models for 30 days as we offer users to recreate their avatars without uploading pictures for the period of 30 days from their order purchase date

This data may include technical details about your device, what you were trying to do when the error happened, and other technical information relating to the problem.
