This section outlines how facial image data is handled during the use of our cartoon transformation functionality. We recognize that face data is highly sensitive and are committed to full compliance with Apple’s App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1, GDPR, CCPA, and related privacy standards.
6.1. Purpose of Collection and Use
The App allows users to upload a photo containing a face in order to generate a stylized cartoon version. This feature is entirely optional and user-initiated. Facial images are collected strictly for this single, limited purpose of performing cartoonization.
We do not store, analyze, reuse, or profile user facial data for any other reason.
We do not use face data for identity verification, surveillance, behavior tracking, advertising, or machine learning purposes.
6.2. No Retention of Face Data
The App does not retain or store any face data.
Once the photo is processed, it is permanently deleted.
The cartoon result is only stored locally on the user’s device if they explicitly choose to save it.
6.3. Why We Do Not Store Face Data
We have no operational need to retain facial data. The entire cartoon generation process is performed in real time. Storing face data is unnecessary and inconsistent with our privacy-first approach.
6.4. Length of Storage
Face data is not stored at all, not even temporarily beyond processing.
No face data is ever saved on servers, caches, logs, cloud storage, or backups.
Processing occurs transiently in memory (RAM) and is discarded immediately after use.
6.5. Third-Party Involvement
The App uses a secure third-party API to transform the uploaded image into a cartoon.
This provider only receives the image temporarily via a secure HTTPS connection.
We do not transmit any other user data (e.g., name, email, IP address) with the image.
6.6. Why and How Face Data is Shared with Third Party
Sharing is done exclusively to fulfill the cartoon generation request.
The API does not access, extract, or analyze face data for other purposes.
6.7. Third-Party Face Data Handling
The third-party API does not store, retain, or reuse face data.
Images are processed in RAM and then permanently destroyed.
No training, logging, or analytics are performed on face data.
Their infrastructure complies with GDPR, CCPA, and Apple’s guidelines.
No face data is stored beyond the short-lived processing window.
6.8. No Biometric or Facial Recognition
We do not extract facial features, facial geometry, or biometric identifiers.
We do not perform face matching, recognition, or identification.
No biometric templates, embeddings, or unique user signatures are generated.
6.9. Security Measures
Images are transmitted over encrypted HTTPS (TLS 1.2+).
No image data is stored in device logs, temp folders, or system caches.
The App follows secure coding standards to prevent unauthorized access.
6.10. No Sharing, Selling, or Monetization
User images are never sold, rented, shared with third parties, or monetized.
We do not allow third-party advertising SDKs or tracking mechanisms to access user photos.
6.11. User Consent and Control
Access to the camera and photo library is requested via the system’s native permissions dialog.
Users may decline or revoke access at any time.
The App does not access any photo without clear, informed, and opt-in consent.
Users are not required to upload a photo to use the rest of the app.
6.12. International Data Practices
The App does not transfer face data internationally.
Third-party services are hosted in compliance with international data privacy laws, and no cross-border transfers of image data occur outside authorized regions.
Users may exercise the following rights regarding their personal data:
Access and Modification: Users can request to review, update, or correct their personal information.
Data Deletion: Requests for the deletion of personal data may be made, subject to legal or operational constraints.
Opting Out: Users may opt out of receiving promotional communications.
Restriction of Processing: Under certain circumstances, users may request to limit the processing of their data.
For any privacy-related requests, please refer to the contact section of the App.
The App may include links to third-party websites, services, or advertisements. These external entities operate independently and are governed by their own privacy policies. Users are encouraged to review the privacy practices of any third-party services they interact with.
This App is not designed for use by children under a certain age, as determined by applicable laws. The App does not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child has provided personal information, they should contact support to request its removal.
This Privacy Policy may be modified periodically to reflect updates in practices, regulations, or services. Users are responsible for reviewing the updated policy. Continued use of the App after modifications implies acceptance of the revised terms.
