4. How We Handle Facial Data

Special Notice

• When you use the AI image generation feature, we will analyze the photos you upload and extract key facial feature points (such as those of the eyes, nose, mouth, etc.) to perform face-processing operations. Please note that we do not use facial data for identity recognition. Upon completion of the analysis process, all relevant data will be permanently deleted. If you refuse to provide such information, you may be unable to use the core features of this app, but this will not affect your access to other functions and services.

Purpose and Process of Facial Data Usage

To provide image or video template generation functionality and related effects, we need to detect key facial feature points, including the eyes, nose, and mouth. The complete process is as follows:

• The photo you select will be securely transmitted in an encrypted format.
• The image may be processed by our servers and third-party AI service providers (including OpenAI and Google Gemini) to generate results based on your selected template.
• After rendering is completed, the final generated content (i.e., your "creation") will be returned to the application.
• The generated content will be temporarily stored in encrypted storage and permanently deleted once the rendering process is finished. Meanwhile, the original photo you uploaded will be immediately deleted after processing.

Sharing and Storage of Facial Data

• Facial data may be transmitted to third-party AI service providers (including OpenAI and Google Gemini) solely for the purpose of processing and generating results requested by the user.
• We do not sell, share, or use facial data for advertising, marketing, or identity recognition purposes.
• We do not retain facial data. All uploaded images are deleted immediately after processing is completed.

User Consent

• We obtain user consent before processing any images that may contain facial data.
• If you do not agree, the feature will not be available.

Third-Party Processing Disclosure:
