PrivateFace ("the App") is designed with your privacy in mind. This policy explains how we handle your data.

Your photos and videos never leave your device.

All face detection and processing happens locally using on-device AI. We do not upload, transmit, store, or have access to your media content.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Your photos or videos
  • Faces or biometric data
  • Processed/exported content
  • Contents of your photo library

3. Data We May Collect

We may collect limited, non-personal data to improve the App:

Usage Analytics (Anonymous)

  • App opens and feature usage
  • Crash reports and performance data
  • Device type and OS version
  • General usage patterns

This data is anonymized, contains no personal identifiers, and cannot be used to identify you or reconstruct your content.

Purchase Information

  • Subscription status (active/inactive)
