Effective Date: March 14, 2021
At Code Wave (“we”, “our”, or “us”), your privacy is our top priority. We are committed to safeguarding your personal data and maintaining transparency about how your information is handled. This Privacy Policy explains how our applications collect, use, and protect data — particularly when processing facial images and media files during editing.
1. Overview
If you’d like a quick summary, here are the key points:
Our app provides photo and video editing tools that create realistic visual transformations and effects.
We do not use, store, or analyze your photos or videos for any reason other than applying the chosen effects.
All media processing is performed on secure, industry-standard cloud platforms such as Firebase Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Only the media you select for editing is uploaded for temporary processing.
Once processing is complete, all files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers.
2. Data We Collect
Our app may collect user-uploaded facial images solely for the purpose of applying filters, styles, or visual effects.
We do not:
Extract biometric or facial identifiers
Perform facial recognition or identity verification
Store or use facial data for analytics, marketing, or profiling
No additional personal data is collected or required to use our Service.
3. How We Use Your Face Data
Uploaded face images are temporarily processed on our secure servers to apply your selected effects or transformations.
Once the edited result is sent back to your device, the original file is immediately deleted.
Your facial images are never used for advertising, AI training, or any other secondary purpose.
4. No Third-Party Sharing
We respect your privacy — that means:
We do not share, sell, or transfer your data or images to any third party.
All uploads are stored temporarily on secure servers for processing only.
After completion, the files are permanently deleted from our systems.
No user data leaves our controlled environment, and none is shared with advertisers or analytics services.
5. Retention of Face Data
Face data exists only for the duration of the editing session.
Once processing is complete, all related data is automatically and permanently removed.
We do not retain any facial images or associated information beyond that timeframe.
