Introduction
Welcome to Pixfuze (“the App”). We respect and value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (if any), how we use it, and the steps we take to protect your information while you use our services. By using Pixfuze, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. This policy is designed to comply with major app store requirements (e.g., Google Play Store and Apple App Store) and relevant data protection laws as applicable.
Information Collection
Basic Version (On-Device Processing):
- We do not require user registration or login.
- We do not collect personal information, including any identifiers like name, email address, or phone number.
- No internet connection is required for the core on-device editing features, and no data is uploaded to our servers or third-party servers.
- We do not track user behavior or perform any analytics on your usage.
- We do not collect, store, or retain face data. Any face detection is performed on-device in real-time and is not transmitted elsewhere.
Pro Version (Cloud-Based Processing):
- When you use cloud-based editing features, images may be sent to secure third-party servers (e.g., partner AI service providers such as Google Cloud or OpenAI) for processing.
- No personal data (such as names, contact info, or biometric identifiers) is required or collected by Pixfuze for creating an account or using the App. However, the image data itself may temporarily be stored on third-party servers strictly to facilitate the requested editing process.
- Once processing is complete, we do not retain your images or the results on our own servers. Any temporary storage or retention by our third-party providers is governed by their respective privacy policies.
Face Data
We do not store or retain any face data. Any face recognition or editing features in Pixfuze are processed on your device during the editing session if you are using the Basic Version. For Pro Version cloud-based features, face detection or recognition may be used only for generating the requested edits and is governed by the third-party provider’s technology; Pixfuze does not collect or store those data points.
How Pixfuze Works
Pixfuze uses AI models to help you edit your photos. In the Basic Version, all processing is done locally on your device, without transmitting data to external servers. In the Pro Version, images are momentarily uploaded to third-party servers for more advanced or experimental AI editing. We do not use or share your images for any purpose other than providing you with the requested editing service.
Device Permissions
To function properly, Pixfuze requires the following permissions:
- Photo/Media access: So you can select and edit the photos on your device.
- Camera access (optional): If you wish to take new photos directly within the App.
- Storage access: So edited photos can be saved back to your device.
These permissions are used strictly to provide the functionality requested. Pixfuze does not access or modify other files or information on your device.
Data Sharing
Basic Version: We do not share your data, and we do not transmit any photos or edits to external services. All processing stays on your device.
Pro Version: Images you select for Pro Version features are uploaded to third-party AI service providers for processing. By opting to use these features, you consent to the transfer of the images and any associated information required for processing. We do not share your data with any other third parties for marketing or analytics purposes.
Third-Party Service Providers
When you use Pro Version features, your images may be processed by reputable third-party AI service providers. Their handling of the uploaded images or any associated data is subject to their respective privacy policies. While we strive to work with providers who meet high standards of data protection, Pixfuze is not responsible for third-party practices once the data is transferred for processing. If you have concerns about a particular third-party service, we recommend reviewing its privacy policy or refraining from using cloud-based features.
Children’s Privacy
Pixfuze does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to remove such information and terminate the child’s access, if applicable, in compliance with local laws such as COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) and similar regulations.
Data Security
We employ reasonable measures to protect your photos and data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. For cloud-based features, we use secure transmission protocols. However, no method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed 100% secure. You acknowledge and accept that transmissions over the internet carry inherent security risks.
International Use
By using Pixfuze from outside the country where it was published, you consent to the transfer of data to the relevant third parties or servers located in countries that may have different data protection regulations. Your use of Pixfuze signifies your agreement to any such transfers.
Policy Changes
We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make material changes, we will post a new version on this page and update the “Last Updated” date above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your data.
Your Choices & Rights
Because Pixfuze does not maintain user accounts or personal data for the Basic Version, we do not offer a mechanism to view, download, or delete your data on our servers. For Pro Version processing, the third-party AI service may temporarily hold your images. If you wish to have any processing logs or stored data deleted, you may contact us, and we will coordinate with the service provider to the extent possible.
Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, or if you would like to request that we delete or stop using any data (to the extent we possess it), please contact us at: info@doctran.ai.
