1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily

Images and Photo Data (Including Face Data)

To provide our core functionality (such as AI-based photo-to-video generation, filters, enhancements, or effects), you may upload images from your device.

These images may contain faces or identifiable facial features (“face data”).

Important clarifications:

  • We do NOT perform face recognition.

How Face Data Is Processed

  • Face data is processed only to generate the feature you explicitly request.

    • Temporarily on secure servers for real-time processing.
  • Face data is not stored, logged, cached, or retained after processing.
