2.How We Use Information
We strictly use your photos and facial characteristics to facilitate the face-swapping feature in Viyou. We assure you that we do not utilize this data for face recognition, as we do not employ technologies that process biometric data for unique identification or authentication of a user.

This uploaded content is securely stored online and is exclusively available to you during your usage of the Services. When you submit this content for swapping, you explicitly agree to its collection and storage as outlined herein. We assure you that Viyou will not utilize your uploaded content for face recognition, as we do not employ technologies or technical methods that process biometric data for unique identification or authentication of a user.
Should Viyou opt to alter the aforementioned processing objectives, we commit to informing you about such changes before using your personal information for any new purposes. Additionally, we will seek your separate consent if this is required by prevailing laws.
