Your privacy is important to us.
Alpha Gateway Limited ("AlphaGateway", "us", "our" or "we") is dedicated to protecting the privacy rights of our users ("users" or "you") regarding any information we may collect while operating our website and while you are operating our mobile applications available on mobile app stores (including Apple App Store and Google Play) and mobile platforms (including iOS and Android) (collectively, the "Services"). Accordingly, we have developed this privacy policy in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and otherwise make use of personal information you provide or we collect.
BY USING OUR SERVICES, YOU ARE EXPRESSING YOUR CONSENT TO THIS POLICY AND THE COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS POLICY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS POLICY OR REVISED VERSION, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR APPS OR SERVICES.
When you use our Services on your mobile device, we may collect and record certain information about your device, such as its International Mobile Equipment Identity ("IMEI"), Identifier for Advertising ("IDFA") and Identifier for Vendor ("IDFV"), Integrated Circuit Card Identifier ("ICCID"), Media Access Control ("MAC") address, model and resolution, which will be used by us to calculate the number of devices that use our products and Services and analyze data on device models and graphics adaptation. Additionally, we may collect and record the Language & Region information from your device's settings, which will be used to provide better customer support when you reach out to us via Email or the in-app feedback system.
We do NOT collect any personal data. Our definition of personal data is information that relates to an individual and could be used to identify them. This includes but is not limited to: first and last name, home address, telephone number, date of birth, email addresses, bank account details, financial history, among others. In particular, we do not collect, record or store any face data. As no face data is collected, none will be shared with any third parties.
To use our Services, you should provide a photo prior to the event of photo editing. Since the processing requires Internet connection and is performed on our servers the photos are sent there through the encrypted connection. We use Secure Socket Layer technology to protect the privacy and integrity of the transmission process.
For non-registered users and users who do not share their results within the Services, the original photos and results are automatically removed from our servers by two weeks after the last interaction.
In addition, most of the Services involve facial recognition mechanism, which is used in two ways:
Locally on your device. Provided that the access to Gallery is granted we use facial recognition mechanism to scan your Gallery for facial photos and group them. This makes part of the recommendation system and can also be used in other ways with the only aim to improve your experience within the Service. The detected facial key points are stored on your device until you delete the Service or clear the Service data.
On the server. Whenever you apply an effect that involves a face manipulation we use other special face recognition technologies on the server side in order to:
- detect a face in a photo;
- find required facial key points (the set of points varies with the effect);
- and apply the effect to your photo based on the detected key points.
In this case the key points are temporarily cached in server RAM between processings and get removed shortly after the last effect has been applied to the corresponding photo.
We may collect and use information about you, such as your device identifier, MAC address, and IMEI for the purpose of the tracking of the advertising. This information is used together to create a unique user number to help us to better count and track advertising. This information is NOT SOLD to outside parties.
Our Services provided to you may contain third party tracking tools from our service providers. These third parties may use Cookies, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and Software Development Kits (SDKs) on our Services and collect and analyze user information on our behalf. Third parties may access your information such as your device identifier, MAC address, IMEI, region (defined as the location where a given language is used), location information and IP address for the purposes of implementing our Services provided under their respective privacy policies. This Policy does not govern the use of third-party tracking tools. We have no access to or control over such third parties.
