Personally Identifiable Information

The Application may request personally identifiable information (such as an email address) for premium purchases or support requests. This information is used only for its intended purpose and handled securely.

Third-Party Services and SDKs

The Application uses the following third-party services that may collect and process data in accordance with their own privacy policies:

Face Data and Image Processing

When you use image-based features (for example, transforming a photo of your pet or a person), you may upload images that contain faces (human or animal). This section explains how face data is handled.

No retention by the Service Provider. The Service Provider does NOT store or retain user-uploaded images, face data, or AI-generated images on its own servers. Generated images are saved only to your device if you choose to save them locally.

Processing by third-party AI. To generate AI-based images, the Application sends uploaded images (which may include face data) to Google Gemini (Nano Banana Pro) for processing. Face data is shared solely to generate the image output explicitly requested by the user.

No facial recognition or biometric identification. The Application does NOT perform facial recognition, biometric identification, or any form of biometric analysis. Face data is not used to identify individuals.

Third-party data retention. The Service Provider does not control Google’s internal data retention policies. Based on publicly available documentation, Google Gemini may retain data for limited periods for purposes such as safety, debugging, and service improvement. The Service Provider does not request or permit the indefinite storage of face data, nor the use of face data for advertising, profiling, or tracking.

AI Services

Image-based AI features in the Application are powered exclusively by Google Gemini. Text or image inputs are transmitted only to generate the requested AI output. No personally identifiable information is included unless explicitly provided by the user.

In-App Purchases
