Privacy Policy

Dear user, thank you for choosing to use the PixiePic App (hereinafter referred to as "this App" or "we"). We are fully aware of the importance of personal privacy to you and always regard protecting your personal information security as our primary responsibility. This Privacy Policy aims to elaborate on the methods and rules for us to collect, use, store, share and protect your personal information, so as to help you fully understand how your personal information will be processed during the use of this App. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully before using this App. If you have any questions or suggestions about this policy, please feel free to contact us.

I. Information Collection

(I) Device Information To ensure that this App runs stably on your device and continuously optimize the performance and functions of the App, we will collect the following device-related information:

Device model: used to identify the brand and specific model of the device you are using, so as to adapt to the characteristics of different devices and provide you with a smoother user experience. For example, for the special screen display effects of some high-end models, optimize the image processing algorithm.

Device ID: including but not limited to IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity, applicable to mobile devices), which is used to uniquely identify your device, count device usage, and perform troubleshooting and security protection when necessary.

Operating system version: Understand the operating system version running on your device, such as Android 14, iOS 17, etc., to help us adapt to system updates in a timely manner, fix compatibility issues, and ensure that the application runs normally in different system environments.

Region: The country or city where you are located is initially obtained through the network settings of your device, which will not be accurate to the street. This location information is used to provide services that comply with local laws and user habits.

IP address: Record the IP address assigned when your device is connected to the network, which is used to ensure network security and prevent malicious attacks. It also helps to analyze the geographical distribution of users and optimize server deployment and service resource allocation.

(II) Usage data

We will record your operational behavior data during the use of this application. This data can help us better understand your usage habits and needs, including but not limited to the time and number of app launches, the frequency of use of each page in the app, the channel for sharing pictures, the path for saving pictures, and the selection of puzzle templates when using the puzzle function, so as to provide you with a more convenient sharing and saving experience, as well as enrich the puzzle template library.

II. Face data processing

(I) Self-selection

It is entirely up to you whether to upload photos to the cloud for AI editing. If you choose not to upload photos, you can still use some basic functions of this application, such as local image editing, using filters that do not require cloud processing, etc.

(II) Face recognition

When you choose to upload photos to the cloud for AI processing, our AI algorithm will automatically identify the face in the photo. This process is based on advanced computer vision technology and can accurately locate the key feature points of the face, such as the contours and positions of the eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, etc., providing an accurate data basis for subsequent beauty adjustments.

(III) Beauty process

Based on the face recognition results, AI will process specific facial areas in the photo according to the preset beauty algorithm or your customized beauty parameters. Specific beauty effects include but are not limited to:

Skin processing: Through intelligent analysis of skin texture and blemishes, skin resurfacing, whitening, acne removal, and dark circles reduction operations are performed to make the skin smooth and delicate.

Eye adjustment: Achieve effects such as enlarging eye shape, adjusting eye shape, deepening eyeliner, and enlarging pupils to make the eyes brighter and more energetic.

Facial contour modification: Thin face, reduce chin, adjust cheekbone height, modify nose bridge, etc., to create a facial contour that is more in line with aesthetic standards.

Color optimization: Automatically adjust facial skin color, lip color and other colors to make it more natural and beautiful.

Age portrait prediction: Based on the face data in the current photo, the facial portraits of different ages are inferred based on the AI ​​data model.

Photo animation: Based on the photos you uploaded, the photos are processed into anime-style photos.

The entire processing process is completed on the cloud server. There is no need to install additional complex software on your device, and it will not take up too much device storage space and system resources, ensuring that your device runs smoothly.

(IV) Data deletion

We strictly follow the principle of minimizing data storage. After the AI ​​processing process is completed and the final result is generated, the original photos you uploaded and any intermediate data generated during the processing will be immediately deleted from the cloud server. The deletion operation uses safe and reliable data clearing technology to ensure that the data cannot be recovered and protect your privacy to the greatest extent.

(V) Data Sharing

Unless expressly required by law or with your prior written consent, we will never share the photos or related facial data you upload for AI Beauty with any third party. We are fully aware of the sensitivity of such data and always put your privacy first.

III. Information Use

(I) Service Provision

The various types of information we collect will be used to provide you with the core functions of this application, including but not limited to: Beauty function: using device information, usage data and facial data to provide you with personalized AI beauty services to meet your different needs for photo beautification. Image editing and stitching: optimizing editing tools and puzzle templates based on your operating habits and preferences, allowing you to create and share beautiful pictures more easily.

(II) Service Optimization

Through in-depth analysis of your usage data, we can discover problems with the application and potential needs of users, so as to continuously improve and optimize product functions and service experience. For example, based on user feedback on specific filters or editing functions, adjust relevant algorithms and interface designs; by analyzing device compatibility issues, promptly fix vulnerabilities and optimize performance.

V. Information Security

We attach great importance to the security of your personal information and have taken a series of strict security measures to protect your information, including:

Data encryption: Encrypt personal information during transmission and storage, use industry-standard encryption algorithms, such as SSL/TLS encryption protocols to ensure the security of data during network transmission, and use encryption algorithms such as AES to encrypt and store data stored on the server to prevent data theft and tampering.

Access control: Establish a strict access rights management mechanism. Only authorized employees and partners can access your personal information, and access behavior will be recorded in detail for auditing and tracing.

Network security monitoring: Deploy professional network security protection equipment and software, monitor network attacks and abnormal access behaviors in real time, discover and deal with security vulnerabilities in a timely manner, conduct security assessments and penetration tests regularly, and ensure the security of the system.

Despite the above security measures we have taken, due to the complexity of the Internet environment, information may still face certain risks during transmission and storage. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information during transmission. If a security incident such as personal information leakage occurs, we will immediately activate the emergency plan, take necessary remedial measures, and notify you and relevant regulatory authorities in a timely manner in accordance with the requirements of laws and regulations.
