Last Updated: January 6, 2026
By downloading, installing, or using PrivateFace ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Privacy First
Your privacy matters. All face detection and image/video processing happens locally on your device. We do not upload, store, or access your photos or videos on any server.
2. Your Content
You retain ownership of your content. You are solely responsible for the content you process and how you use it. By using the App, you represent that you have all necessary rights to any content you process.
3. AI & Machine Learning Disclaimer
The App uses artificial intelligence and machine learning technology for face detection. You acknowledge and understand that:
- AI technology is non-deterministic and results may vary between uses, even with identical inputs
- Face detection may fail to detect faces, detect faces incorrectly, or produce inconsistent results
- Performance depends on many factors including image quality, lighting, face angles, occlusions, and device capabilities
- AI technology has inherent limitations and cannot guarantee 100% accuracy
- Results that appear acceptable on one device or screen may differ on others
- You are solely responsible for verifying that all faces are properly covered before sharing or publishing any content
- We make no guarantees about the reliability, accuracy, or suitability of AI-generated results for any purpose
