To generate AI Avatars, the app processes the images you upload (including images of your face) which are automatically deleted from our servers after 2 days. The images generated by the app (e.g. the AI avatars that you created) are automatically deleted from our servers after 30 days. 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.
