FaceSwap Privacy Policy

FaceSwap is an easy-to-use app for swapping faces, making it fun to create cool content. We care about your privacy and promise to keep your info safe. We only use your personal stuff to provide our services, and we'll always ask for your permission first.

When you use our app, you agree to follow our Privacy Policy along with our Terms of Use. We might update our Privacy Policy now and then.

Here's a quick summary of how we handle your privacy:

• FaceSwap is all about editing photos and videos to switch faces in a realistic way.

• Any pictures or videos you upload to our app are only used for editing them inside the app.

• While we're editing your stuff, we temporarily store it on secure cloud servers and keep it safe with encryption on your phone.

1. Information We Collect

1.1. Content Selection and Processing

When you use FaceSwap and choose photos or videos to edit, we temporarily store them to carry out the editing service you requested:

• The specific photos or videos you pick for editing in the app. We only work with the chosen content and don't access your entire photo or video library (including face data), even if you've given us permission. Each chosen photo or video is encrypted and stored locally on your device, ensuring that only your device can access it.

It's worth noting that we don't ask for or need any metadata associated with the photos or videos you select for editing. However, metadata like geotags might be automatically added to your photos or videos. We take steps to remove any attached metadata from the content you provide while using the app.

1.2. Additional Information Gathering

When you use FaceSwap and visit our website, we may collect various information, including:

• Data about how you use the app and what you do online, like your interactions with the app, language preferences, when you install and open the app, and how you found our website.

• Some of this data might also be collected by third parties, like online advertising networks and their partners, as you browse other websites and use other mobile apps. We collect this info using technologies like cookies, browser storage, and similar methods.

• Information about your app purchases, which confirms that you've paid for a subscription to the app. We don't get into specifics like billing addresses or credit card details.

• Details about your device, such as what kind of operating system you use, what device you have, unique IDs for your apps, advertising IDs, browser types, screen sizes, IP addresses (and where they're located), and the website you were on before you came to ours.

Keep in mind that usually, only online identifiers like IP addresses, App Instance IDs (each copy of the app on your device gets one), and Advertising IDs count as personal data. But we can't directly figure out who you are just from these identifiers.

1.3. Contacting Us via Email

If you have any questions or need more info about how we collect data, feel free to get in touch with us. We're committed to addressing your concerns because your privacy is super important to us.

2. How We Use Your Information

At FaceSwap, we take your privacy seriously and only use the info you give us to provide our face-swapping features. We promise never to use your videos, photos, or facial features (like face data) for things like face recognition or any other biometric methods meant to identify or authenticate users.

Here's how we might use other info we collect, excluding videos, photos, or facial features:

• Improving, testing, and seeing how well our services work.

• Finding and fixing technical problems, making sure everything runs smoothly.

• Making our technology more secure and safe.

• Studying how people use our services and spotting trends.

• Trying out new features and making sure they work well.

• Customizing our services and ads to match what you like and need.

• Using data from cookies and similar tech to make your experience with our services better.

The content you upload is collected so you can use our services easily and conveniently. This content is saved on your device and in the cloud for a while, but only while you're using our services. By sending content to swap, you're giving us permission to collect and store it as described here. Don't worry, we'll never use your uploaded content for things like face recognition or any other biometric methods meant to identify or authenticate users.

If we decide to change how we use your info, we'll let you know ahead of time. And if the law says we need your separate permission to use your personal info in new ways, we'll ask for it.

3. How We Share Your Information

3.1. Protecting Your Visual Content

We take your privacy very seriously. Your personal photos and videos (your face data) are never shared with third parties.

3.2. Sharing Non-Visual Information

We might share non-photo and non-video info in these situations:

• Affiliates: Info we collect from you might be shared with our related companies and partners, as long as it's in line with this Privacy Policy.

• Service Providers: We might share your info with companies that help us run our apps, like customer support, hosting, analytics, email, marketing, and managing databases. These partners have to use your info only the way we tell them to, following this Privacy Policy, and they can't use or share your info for anything else.

• Advertising Partners: When we use third-party cookies and tracking tools, our advertising partners might collect data from your device to show ads related to our apps online.

• Third-Party Platforms and Social Media Networks: If you share your edited photos or videos on social media, just know that we don't control how those platforms use your info. Their rules are covered in their own privacy policies and terms.

• Professional Advisors: Sometimes we might need to share your info with experts like lawyers and auditors for legal or business reasons.

• Business Transfers: In certain situations, we might sell, transfer, or share part or all of our business, including info. This could happen during things like mergers, acquisitions, or if we go out of business.

Your privacy is super important to us, and we work hard to keep your info safe and follow all the privacy rules and laws.

4. Data Storage and Security

Data Retention: We only keep your data for as long as we need it for its intended purpose. Once we no longer need it, we make sure to securely delete it from our systems.

Data Security: We take your security seriously:

• We work with trusted contractors who follow strict data processing agreements to ensure your information is handled safely.

• Our team is trained to follow rigorous internal policies and procedures to protect your data from unauthorized access, misuse, or loss.

Your privacy and security are our top priorities, and we continuously strive to uphold the highest standards to safeguard your information.

5. Security of Your Personal Data

While we make every effort to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal data, it's important to understand that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Despite our best efforts, we cannot guarantee absolute security. However, we remain committed to regularly reviewing and updating our security measures to mitigate any potential risks and ensure the protection of your personal information to the best of our ability.

6. Links to Third-Party Services

Our app may contain links to websites, mobile applications, or online services operated by third-party companies. These links are provided for your convenience and do not imply any endorsement or affiliation with these third parties. Additionally, our content may appear on websites, mobile apps, or online services that are not affiliated with us. We want to emphasize that we have no control over these third-party websites, mobile apps, or online services and are not responsible for their privacy practices or content. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites, mobile apps, or online services you interact with to understand how they collect, use, and share your personal information.

7. Security Practices

We use commercially reasonable security measures to protect the information collected through our services. However, we cannot guarantee absolute security, as malicious actors may attempt unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or deletion of your data.

To enhance security, we recommend taking responsibility for maintaining the confidentiality of your information and controlling access to your communications with FaceSwap. Please note that we do not oversee the functionality, privacy practices, or security measures of other organizations.

8. Data Retention

For non-photo and non-video information we collect, we only keep it for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. If there are substantial changes, we will update the policy's date and post it on the app and website. Additionally, if legally required, we will notify you of changes through alternative means reasonably likely to reach you, such as through the app.

All changes to this Privacy Policy take effect when we post the new terms on the website and/or implement the changes on the app and website (or as indicated at the time of posting). Your continued use of our services after any updated Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised terms.
