Welcome to the PictoPop, displayed via the mobile application and online on the internet (together, the ”Service”) owned by Sinosea Technology PTE. LTD. By signing this document when first accessing our Service, you actively agree the content of Privacy Notice. 

1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND USE

Abstract

If you agree to this Privacy Notice, we will collect some personal information from you in order to provide you with a personalized, useful and efficient experience, and also for advertising purposes. However, it is possible to enter into the Terms of Use Agreement with Sinosea Technology PTE. LTD. without the provision of the below mentioned personal information, in which case you may still access and use the core functionality of the PictoPop. However, certain features may not be available to you as they require personal information input to function and the overall effectiveness of the PictoPop may deteriorate. Depending on your settings, the categories of information we collect include the categories of personal information as explained under ‘further information’.

Further information

1.1. Information from third-party apps.

Collection: We may receive personal information such as your IP address, information related to the installation source, statistics regarding you and personal information related to the crashing of your device from third parties and other entities of the Sinosea Technology PTE. LTD. – such as app development platforms and tracking and analytics platforms – and combine that with information we collect through our Service. The personal information we receive from these apps is dependent upon the other apps’ policies and your privacy settings on those apps. You should always review, and if necessary, adjust your privacy settings on these apps and services before using them.

Sinosea Technology PTE. LTD. receives reports on the personal information mentioned above from third parties and other entities of the Sinosea Technology PTE. LTD. in order to solve crash problems and to optimize your user experience.

1.2. Facial Information

Facial Data Collected by the ApplicationOur application collects facial photos uploaded by users for in-app functions, including old photo restoration, AI portrait, AI fitting, baby face prediction, and older progression video generation. Specifically, the collected data includes facial image information such as facial contours, features, and skin tone.

Purpose of Facial Data

We use the collected facial data solely to enhance your photos and videos and generate the AI images you request. This data includes information about the estimated position and shape of facial features, such as facial data. Depending on the applicable laws in your jurisdiction, facial data may be considered biometric data; however, we do not use it to identify or verify individuals in the images or videos you upload. We use this data to improve our algorithms and ensure the app delivers high-quality results. Once the generation is complete, the facial data will not be used for any other purposes, unless you explicitly consent to its further processing.

Data Sharing and StorageWe do not share facial data with any third parties. All facial data is stored on our secure servers, which use encryption technology to protect user privacy. Data storage and processing comply with relevant data protection regulations. The app requires access to your gallery and camera to edit photos and videos or generate AI images, such as enhanced photos and videos, and AI images. You must explicitly allow this access through the request pop-up window on your device. These images will not leave your device or be stored on our servers until you decide to upload them.

You retain control over the images and videos uploaded, enhanced, and generated using PictoPop. We do not sell, trade, or claim ownership of any of your images or videos—whether you are editing existing images or videos or generating new ones.

Your images and videos will not be used to train our AI technology unless you explicitly choose to do so.

Your images and videos are protected by appropriate security measures and comply with privacy and data protection laws as well as industry standards. This includes encryption and cloud storage used to enhance security.

Data Retention PeriodFacial data uploaded by users will be deleted from our system immediately after the repair process is completed. Specifically, the data will be cleared within 24 hours of completing image repair to ensure it is not retained on our servers for an extended period. Although facial data may be considered biometric data in certain jurisdictions, the technology implemented in our app does not recognize or verify the individuals in the images or videos you upload, and we do not train our technology. We do not collect or use any users' facial data to improve our photo and video editing and generation features, nor do we train our photo and video editor algorithms.
